After almost 24 hours, I have more than 2 gallons of maple sap (on the left) and a half gallon of walnut sap (on the right). The maple is notably sweeter, so it would take less of it to boil down to syrupy sugar content. I tapped 3 walnuts, the sap you see is all from one tree. The other two just had a few tablespoons in the bucket.

You know what nobody told me when I was deep in my healing journey?

That most of what I thought was “taking care of myself” wasn’t actually reaching the parts of me that needed healing the most.

Bubble baths felt good. But they didn’t touch the pain underneath.

What actually changed things for me was learning to stay with the discomfort, with the emotion, with the part of me that just needed to be witnessed instead of fixed or distracted.

That’s real self-love. And it looks a lot less glamorous than a spa day. 💛

Take a look at the full graphic and tell me which one on the right side is the one you’re still working on?

I have been impressed by the number of folks with a sensitivity to oxalates, in particular. Chronic pain, chronic GI symptoms, chronic vulvar irritation….Sally Norton wrote a book, Toxic Superfoods, on this; her website is a wealth of info on oxalates.
