Thrive with Chronic Pain

Slowly, slowly my wild & weedy space gets done. My hands plant & I rejoice in the smell of wet soil. The days of the neat pristine garden rows planted within two days & being well weeded is long gone. Wildness comes forth in the messy & strawberries, peas, tomatoes, & zucchini still come to life. Take care of your hands & your lovely body as you enjoy this season.💜

Thank you to those who spend their adult lives working on cures for devastating diseases. This is good news for future Alzheimer's patients

Able to cross the blood-brain barrier, Xenon gas seemed to perk the mice right up, which began to become particularly active

Made a batch of gluten free granola! So much of the stuff in the stores is high fat and has unnecessary ingredients. When you’ve got auto-immune diseases , diet is even more important. This batch has gf oats, almonds, pistachios, pecans & a few cashews & raisins. I used a little natural peanut butter & honey to hold it together. Today I added some pumpkin pie space. Then mixed it together until it looked like granola. Cooked at 350 for 23 minutes. It’s fun because you can make a different batch every time!!! 💜🦄

PACING!!! We have a few days without rain so I’ve slowly put together 3 garden beds to add to my other 7. If you have osteo or rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia or any of the many diagnosis that cause you discomfort, take your time. We know doing tooooo much can mean not being able to do anything for a few days. I also got rid of the cardboard I’ve been saving in the garage. Yay! It’s a natural grass killer & the beds will be ready for spring. Take it easy!

May this winter solstice season give you permission to slow down, read good books & enjoy some extra sleep. 💜☮️
