Wednesday’s Wild Wisdom,
Wise Wildness…

In my Gramma’s words:
DON’T toss the Honey jug
(chamber pot, p**s pot)
contents into the Wind 🌬️💦💨.

Sage Advice Marion! 🤣

I’m busy formatting my ebook and trying to get every product stock re-created.
Yup, I’m out of everything.
Well, maybe I do have a couple of FaceFix jars but I’m out of:
VV
SkinFlammation Soothe
& I’m about to create a 60+ Face lotion. So I’ll be busy whipping up goodies in the herbalist’s artisan kitchen! 🌿❤️‍🩹🌱

My Point:
Wisdom & Wildness is going to be short, sweet, & snappy for a couple of weeks!

Be Wise 🕉️ with your P*e Pot.😉🙃

Magic 🪄 & Medicine 💜
Manuscript 📕 Monday!

I am going to be sharing “text” Magical Medicinal posts for a bit.

I will get back to creating videos of the Yoga Posture Series, that I have shared in my book, after my August 20th “release the ebook” date.

I’m also busy prepping a 6-week, online course in the Magic of the Menopausal Transition.
I was invited to co-teach with Angela Wheat, my Energy Medicine teacher & friend of many years.
I’m honored and excited to be doing this BodyMindSpirit transformative work with Angela.

BUT, I also must prevent myself from expressing my well-developed muscle 💪 in the Creative Art 🎨 of Procrastination…
Then, All WILL go Well!

Back to the Magic & Medicine offering for today.
Chapter 2 (image 2) is titled:
Moving Into the Magic of Self Healing.

Chapter 1 reminder:
You ARE the Medicine.
You ARE, also, the Magic.
It’s all inside you, waiting to express itself through you!
I invite you to use my Sacred Circle book as your Magical Portal to see, believe, and express your Medicine & Magic.
Chapter 1 explored creating calm through your breath so you can come back into your innate, inner Medicine.

Chapter 2 teaches how to gently “reframe” life so you can return to & restore your brilliance (your Magic & Medicine!)

Off I go to NOT invoke my Artistic Muscle 💪 of Creative Procrastination!

Please & Thank You
Let me know, in the comments, your experience with Chapters 1 & 2.

Self-Healing:
This is something that I take very seriously. My first book 📕 (image 4) is all about self-healing by taking your health back into your healing hands.
Right where your health is meant to be.

These books are for young readers.
Pre-adolescent through early teens, I would guess.
Loved them all.
They are by Gina Martin, who also authored the When She Wakes Trilogy (also amazing books) published by Womancraft Publishing.

If you love Nature, the Elements, Goddess Energy, and Magic… Gina’s books 📚 will mesmerize you.

A friend’s kids are going to read them.
They are the kind of books I would keep forever, books that I love, if I was still in a keep books mode.
I’m in the “I’m 60 it’s time to release stuff” mode. 😉

It’s about time! Medical education is being returned to its true roots of nourishment health care not drug prescription disease care!

Medical school after menopause?
🧐🤔

The Alice L. Walton School of Medicine in Bentonville, Arkansas, recently welcomed its first class of 48 students. Founded by Walmart heiress Alice Walton, the school takes a different approach to medical training by focusing on preventive care, whole-person health, and lifestyle factors like nutrition and mental well-being. Walton, who is covering tuition for the first five classes, hopes the school will improve access to care in underserved areas like Arkansas and inspire similar changes nationwide. The school blends traditional medical training with courses in the arts, hands-on gardening, and community service.

I just found a copy of Weaving Healing Wisdom 📕.
I get asked if I have copies and have said “no” for a while.

I’m cleaning out books in my home,
and what do you know,
I find a brand new copy.

I packed it to ship out in the morning to someone who asked for it yesterday.

Weaving Healing Wisdom will be re-published.
Eventually Hands On Health will be updated and released in a second edition.

I’m contemplating whether an ebook of Sacred Circle Shamanic Yoga is necessary?
To me, the book needs to be in print form, but that could be my generational mindset.

Thoughts?

Wisdom & Wildness Wednesday…

With the “Wisdom” word out front,
I suspect you might have a clue what’s coming.
It ain’t Ireland ☘️🧝🏻‍♀️🍀Shenanigans baby!

Pain 😣:
I get asked about pain 😣 all of the time.
Does “getting older” just mean that I am always going to be in pain: knees, hips, ankles, back, spine, neck… on & on?

So my thought 🤨💭🤔 is,
Do we have to “fall apart” because we are aging.
No and slightly, sometimes, partially yes.
We most likely won’t live forever.
I always use Daisies as my example, does a Daisy look juicy and lush (image 2) its entire life cycle?
We, obviously, aren’t going to slide 🛝 into the home base of death ☠️ at 93 looking & feeling like a 20 year old.

So, besides time ⏰📆 (and this should NOT be the BIG factor),
what is robbing your juiciness AND,
better question:
how can I support my juiciness?

We Up ⬆️ juiciness (way way less pain) by decreasing ⬇️ that which causes heating up, drying up, wearing out.

I will say here that individual tweaking of suggestions is appropriate depending on one’s
natural constitution (hot & dry vs cold & damp and various combinations) & one’s
current constitution being expressed.

3 recommendations:

1) STOP 🛑 refined sugar. Demineralizes tissues. Your bones, joints, every body cell is a dynamic expression of life thriving from mineral and nutrient balance.

2) MOVE. Daily. Often. Movement creates lubrication and juiciness AND obviously contributes to overall vitality.
Movement increases circulation of blood 🩸, lymph, inner & extra cellular fluids, digestion & pooping, on & on AND these are ALL inner biological happenings that create juiciness.

3) ENHANCE your juiciness and mineral health stores with juicy promoting Herbs. Again, your constitution will support picking individual appropriate Herbs 🌿 🌱.
Nettles
Comfrey
Marshmallow root
Aloe…

I know, I know.
I said 3.
But the 4th is 100% whole food nourishment.
Nature keeps balance, juiciness, no pain, & lifetime vitality with wholeness.

🌱🌿Herbs🌿🌱:

1) 🌱COMFREY: https://potsdamcoop.com/comfrey-a-handy-healing-herb/

2) ☕️🫖 Making Medicinal Herbal Infusions for Vitality: https://potsdamcoop.com/cellular-health-nourishment-with-herbal-infusions/

3) 🍎 Whole Food Nourishment & Whole Health Longevity and Vitality Educational Support: https://www.paulayoumellrn.com/whole-health-lifestyle-choices

I can lead to Water 💦 BUT if I force ⚡️☄️💥 anyone to “drink,”
I WILL be doing jail time (image 1 caption reference).

What are your juiciness plans today?

Magic & Medicine Manuscript Monday.

This week I am starting on chapter 7, which is the Five Elements chapter.
Each Element has a yoga posture series to support your integration of the Nature of each Element and your journey to create Peace ☮️ Mode in your life.
I will continue to share a video of each Element until I get through the 5 Elements.

Remember:
You are the Medicine AND the Magic in your life.
Perfect Yoga Postures, whatever perfect is supposed to be, are absolutely NOT required.
Your gift to yourself is moving your spine (chakras, nervous system) while slow, deep breathing to come back into a peaceful experience of you to then walk your empowered Medicine & Magic.
Yup, it takes time and dedication to your healing AND that IS what we are here for, with DEEP Love.

Mixed up a HUGE batch of FaceFix!

I went overboard making extra but, in my defense, it seems every batch I make is sold out before I can even get the labels on the jars.

I have 6 extra jars 🫙 of 4 ounce FaceFix AND
4 extra jars 🫙 of 2 ounce FaceFix.

I’ll be adding the 2 ounce jars to my website. Nice for travel or to try Facefix, for your first time, with a smaller jar.

The 2 ounce jars are a special order for a wedding happening soon.
The Momma of the Bride is gifting the Bridal Party a copy of my new book 📕 AND a 2 ounce jar 🫙 of FaceFix!
Thanks Nancy, I am deeply honored.

Why didn’t I think of this 😳 Magical Wedding 💒 gifting 💝 of FaceFix and my book(s)?! 📚

One of the Bridesmaids happens to be the artistic gal who created the FaceFix logo multiple years ago.
It’s such fun when things come full circle. ⭕️

I would like to draw your attention to Image number 2, 5, 6, & 7.
This time around, I ordered my organic aloe vera powder from Starwest Botanicals, image 1.
In the past, I have always ordered from Mountain Rose Herbs.
Different companies can mean different varieties of Aloe.
Starwest Botanical aloe is darker, image 5.
Image 4, I’ve circled some of the tiny specs of aloe. Do NOT panic, it’s simple plant medicine for your skin’s nourishment!

When plants are used to make herbal infused oils, Image 2, or the powdered herbs are used directly in the product, there is going to be color.
Plants have color. Unless you’re working with Ghost 👻 Pipe and that’s an entirely different story but Ghost Pipe is for nerve pain not skin care. 
I invite you to make an infused oil with Plantain leaves and then turn it into an ointment. Your ointment will be a beautiful green.
The only way to get pure white plant based products is to not use any plant.
Color is evidence of deep skin nourishment in the product.

Why am I telling you this?
Because it’s important to know about the things you use on your skin. We have been brain trained to believe that “white means purity and white is what is desirable.”
See my post from a couple days ago about using Products to whiten your teeth.

Embrace the color plants add to skin care products. Your skin will soak in all the nourishment and I guarantee you that plant coloring of the product supports
1) keeping your skin youthful AND
2) helping to repair damage from Sun exposure. 

And on another note, you will never hear me tell you to avoid the Sun or to use chemical base sunscreen.
Your skin and your whole BodyMindSpirit Health absolutely need Sun. The Sun is a bio-regulator of every biological process and supports every single aspect of BodyMindSpirit Health.
Every LAST one of them!

I did order a pound bag of the aloe powder from Mountain Rose Herbs.
It tends to give a yellow color to the product instead of the brown color you will see an image 6.

Image six is the jar I made for myself and I added a lot of extra Starwest Botanical organic aloe powder.
My face and neck will soak it all in and thank me.

I will go back to using the Mountain Rose Herb organic aloe in the FaceFix i sell.
This darker brown aloe will be mixed into my organic unscented body lotion for my oen whole body use.
In six months, my skin is gonna look like it did when I was 20! Just saying! 😂

As always, the process of making products takes way longer than I anticipate.
It’s time to get outside and take Lily for a walk before she divorces me.
☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
That would be disastrous because, honestly, what would life be without Lily 🐕 and my four faithful Kitty 🐈‍⬛🐱🐈🐱 friends?
