Cold and Flu Season is upon us. How can we help our body to remain healthier during  this season?  One recipe that our family uses as a preventive measure and as a remedy during illness is Fire Cider. Fire Cider is a lovely, spicy drink made with several ingredients that build the immune system as well as fight against viral and bacterial infections.

Winter Health

  Winter Garden The gardens are beautiful in every season. I appreciate living in the mid-west where we have all four seasons to enjoy. Winters can be harsh here in Missouri, but they are also beautiful. I like to go with the flow of the seasons with my health and wellness path. Winter is a great time of nourishing rest for our bodies. Winter is the season for eating slow foods and drinking nourishing hot drinks. I am a certified herbalist. But, I do not re-invent the wheel when it comes to herbal education. I love to share other herbalist information.

Sowers of Good Seed

  Heritage Home~Place Wow! It has been a very long time since I posted. Last year the world was going through things. We also did not have any classes throughout 2020. We are grateful for a new year of blessings.  The gardens are in full swing here on our little farmette.  We have had a lot of rain in June....A LOT!  Amazingly though, the gardens are still producing their beauty and bounty. Throughout the course of COVID-19 shutdowns and  quarantines, there has been a lot of time for reflection. Many families were affected by the virus as well as the changes in dynamics of how we live.   It is now a time of renewal. Many things have changed, but, that is not necessarily all bad. Renewal of all areas of who we are...spirit, soul and body will give us a fresh start with renewed ways of living. Let us be mindful; be present; be kind; be humble; be compassionate; be determined; be strong....just be sowers of good seed on good ground. Enjoy the moments. Enj...
