Each autumn, I’m reminded that nature heals through letting go. As the trees surrender their leaves, they make space for new beginnings to come. This season invites us to do the same, to pause, reflect, and care for ourselves with gentleness and gratitude.

Wishing you balance, good health, and warm hearts this autumn.

As we recently observed Yom Kippur—the holiest day of reflection and atonement—it feels especially meaningful in these turbulent times to pause, look inward, and look outward. To recognize both the shadows within and around us, and then consciously choose light, compassion, and renewal.

May you celebrate a bountiful and peaceful year.

Zen is often called “the middle way.” It invites us to pause in the space between—between right and left, this and that, reaction and response.
In these charged times, when the world pushes us to pick a side, it’s easy to lose touch with our deeper selves. Yet when we step out of constant thought and opinion, even for a moment, we rediscover Being. By centering in the breath and feeling our connection to the earth, we move beyond the mind’s dualism into a place of calm clarity.

If we choose only division, we lose empathy—and with it, the possibility of true healing. At this critical moment, may we find the courage to release what separates us and choose instead what connects us.

In a world that pulls us toward noise and division, wisdom lies in becoming the quiet witness. Just as storms churn the surface of the sea, beneath it, there is always stillness.

When life feels like a cyclone, pause. Breathe. Trust the rhythm of the waves and let them carry you back to calm.

Taking time to step away and disconnect is one of the most powerful ways we can take care of ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

We are grateful to be in one of our favorite places in Maine, where we recharge, reflect, and let nature take over to refresh our souls.

You don’t have to travel far or spend a lot of money to get away. All you really need to do is turn off your computer, put down your phone, take a break from the news, and step out into nature. Whether it’s a walk in a park, a visit to a public garden, or sitting outside . without distraction, give yourself the gift of disconnecting. Drink in the peace nature provides. Breathe. Be still. Let go.

Wishing you peace.

Yes, we’re talking about ticks. Again.
Because they’re back and more annoying than ever.

According to the CDC’s Tick Bite Data Tracker (yes, that’s a thing), ER visits for tick bites just hit a record high, topping 2017 levels.

Not all ticks carry disease, but the goal is pretty simple: don’t get bitten.

No, you don’t have to cancel hikes or stop gardening. Just take a few smart steps to keep these microscopic menaces off your body and your pets’.

Like an over-protective friend, here’s your reminder:

🐶 For Pets:
• Comb them before they come inside. Yes, every time.
• Ears, tails, bellies: tick hot-spots.
• Find one? Remove it slowly with tweezers (get the head).
• Note the date. Watch for weird symptoms (suddenly lethargic, trouble getting up). When in doubt, call the vet!

👣 For Humans:
• Light colors, long sleeves + pants. We know. It’s hot. Wear them anyway.
• Use a repellent that actually works (natural is fine, just do your homework).
• Full-body check when you get home. Behind the ears, in your hair, between your toes. They’re creepers.
• Found a tick? Don’t freak. Just remove it calmly. No twisting.
• Apply our TICKED OFF herbal formula. Topical + internal = peace of mind.
• Write down the date. Feel flu-ish? Rash? Call your doctor for a test.

👉 Catching and removing a tick in under 24 hours is usually safe. But you still want to keep them off you in the first place.

✨ Nature is still yours. Ticks are just a part of it. So be smart. Be prepared. And keep TICKED OFF in your bag, your cabinet, and probably your car too!

These are difficult times—wars rage, disasters strike, and our nation feels painfully divided. It's easy to grow weary, afraid, and reactive.
But as the Tao Te Ching reminds us: “Water overcomes fire not through force, but through persistence.”

Let this be your reminder: Stay true to yourself and your moral compass. Be like water—steady, clear, compassionate. Speak your truth, but do it with calm conviction, not rage. Act from a place of deep joy and purpose.

When we move through the world this way, we tap into the quiet, unstoppable strength of our shared humanity—and the healing power of community.

In all of Chinese medicine, we are constantly reminded that for every feeling and emotion, there is an equal and opposite response. Night gives birth to day, dark to light, masculine energy softens, and the feminine principle takes hold.

Fear, when frozen, prevents movement and immobilizes us. However, if we accept fear, its opposite force emerges, one of empowerment and moving forward.

As many of us experienced at rallies across the country last week, the waves of suppression and fear were met and transformed into hope, joy, and community.

As Virgil reminds us, “Amor vincit omnia.” Love conquers all.

Business is booming… and normally, that would be something to celebrate. But this time, it’s different. We’re seeing a sharp surge in Lyme Disease cases — and honestly, I can’t remember a year quite this bad.

So while the sun is shining and nature is calling, I’m here with a gentle (but urgent) reminder: please be extra careful out there. Whether you're hiking, gardening, or just enjoying your backyard, ticks are lurking — and they’re relentless.

🐶 For Your Pets:
• Tick checks are non-negotiable! Use a fine-tooth comb before bringing them inside.
• Don’t forget to check the ears, tails, and bellies.
• If you find a tick, remove it carefully with tweezers — get the whole thing, head included.
• Jot down the date and monitor for any unusual symptoms. If anything seems off, call your vet ASAP.

👣 For Humans:
• Wear long sleeves and pants when outdoors, especially in grassy or wooded areas.
• Apply a reliable tick repellent — natural options are great, but make sure they're backed by solid reviews.
• Do a full-body tick check when you get home. Yes, even behind the ears, in the scalp, and between the toes — they’re sneaky little stinkers.
• If you find a tick, take your time removing it. Don’t panic, just be patient and thorough.
• Apply our TICKED OFF herbal formula to the bite, and consider taking it internally as a precaution.
• Again, note the date and watch for a bull’s-eye rash or any odd symptoms. Call your healthcare provider right away if anything feels off.

👉 Remember: Finding a tick within 24 hours is usually safe, but vigilance is key.

✨ Nature is still here to be enjoyed. Don’t let ticks steal your summer joy — just stay smart, stay prepared, and keep your TICKED OFF on hand!

With care and wellness always,
Jason

☀️ The sun’s out, the flowers are blooming, and it’s finally time to get outside—whether you’re hiking trails, planting veggies, or just soaking up some well-deserved vitamin D. But guess who else loves this weather? Yep… ticks. 😬

These little hitchhikers are waking up and making themselves at home in tall grass, shrubs, and on anything that moves—deer, dogs, birds, bunnies… and yes, humans too. Their bites can hurt, and worse, some ticks carry Lyme Disease, which can be a serious health risk.

The good news? A few simple steps can keep you safe while you enjoy the great outdoors:

✅ Wear light-colored clothes to spot ticks more easily.
✅ Tuck long pants into your socks (we know, not a fashion statement—but hey, it works).
✅ Tie back long hair and pop on a hat.
✅ Use a non-toxic tick repellent on your clothes and skin—there are some great options out there.
✅ Before heading inside, brush off your clothes like you're shaking off a bad dance move.
✅ Take a shower and do a full tick-check (yes, all the nooks and crannies).

And if a tick does latch on? Remove it with tweezers (don’t forget the head), and keep an eye out for any rash—especially one that looks like a bullseye. If you see it, call your doc ASAP.

💚 Bonus tip: Keep a bottle of Jason’s Ticked-Off formula on hand and take it as directed if you’ve been bitten. It’s a great natural support to help your body stay one step ahead.

Here’s to safe, sunny adventures—tick-free! 🌿✨

As I sit in my garden on Easter Sunday, I’m reflecting on the gifts we receive from our connection to spirit. Jesus constantly evoked the message of love and treating our neighbors as we would like to be treated.

The core messages of all religions are the same— Love and compassion transcend hate and division.

Buddha, Jesus, the prophets of the Old Testament, Krishna, and Mohammad personify this truth. Pope Francis exemplified the teachings throughout his life. May he rest in peace.

Sadly, in the guise of love and compassion, many religions sow fear and mistrust, teaching that theirs is the one true God and all others are false.

We as a world are divided and in pain. Let us take this time of rebirth and renewal to heal and let love guide us🙏
