I promised an update when and if my favorite House Wren reappeared. It’s been so many weeks and I’ve heard them singing, but not as much as usual. The last two years they have been on our back deck, but that bird house fell apart and I didn’t put it…
A few weeks ago I taught a class on Stress Relief for Nurse’s week at the hospital where I work. It was so interesting doing research on stress management and seeing what really works. One of the most powerful and simple ways to reduce stress is to go out in…
Well, I bought some really terrible essential oils this week and I wanted to keep you from doing the same! I have only ever purchased oils from the companies I recommend to you at the bottom of my newsletters. I was given those marvelous names during my Clinical Aromatherapy training…
I’ve been enjoying the smell of my lilacs in the warm sun this week. Things are so busy with work, family, kids in sports (it feels like we’re out every night!) and working in my business that I can feel like spring is passing too quickly. I took a few…

People have been interested and asking for more specifics, so I thought I’d send some pics and prices. It’s been fun collecting little waterproof cushioned bags and…
Hope you are all well. It’s been cold and wet these last two weeks since I last wrote and that suits my mood. My mother-in-law died two weeks ago after battling with lung cancer for three years. While we’re glad we got down to visit her a few weeks ago…
The peach trees around here got hit hard by a cold frost last month so there are only a few blooms on my peach this spring. But they are so beautiful. That pink! Those stamens covered in pollen – calling to the insects! I had to lean way off the…
This week I tried EFT/Tapping in a new way that I wanted to share with you. I play the fiddle. I LOVE the fiddle. I love the way it feels and how it looks. I love holding it and I love tightening the bow before I play. I love rubbing…
Happy Earth Day everyone. It’s such a beautiful time of year here in the Northeast; I hope you are getting to enjoy some time outside. The flowers are starting to really bloom and the birds are waking me up in the morning! I put out two new birdhouses and have…
