Approaching a new year always means assessing what worked over the past year, noting what didn't work, and seeing what can be improved upon. As with many practices in the world of alternative medicine, my client intake form is several pages long and takes roughly 15 minutes to fill out in person with a pen. I have come to the realization, that as technically forward as most of us are these days... » Continue Reading
2024 was an Amazing Year! We could also call it "The Year of Expansion"! Selling our teas by the cup this year was a major hit! Sales of our teas went so well over the course of 2024, that we are doing our first ever Top Five Tea Report!!! We are now looking at our calendar and figuring out just how much more foraging will need to be done to prepare for the fairs we want to attend this year! ... » Continue Reading
As quiet as I thought I was over on my author blog this past year, apparently people wanted to read what was over there. What they came to read shows a bit of a pulse among the Christian world, and perhaps something we should be praying into as we begin 2025. The concerns revealed by the article titles aggregated in today's Top 20 Post of 2024, are why I pray the following, and I'll rephrase it ... » Continue Reading
This article just received an update, because I made a discovery the other day that will make the world of document signing so much more reachable to those who need to send out documents for signatures. A promo for an e-sign service crossed my screen the other day, with claims that it's free service was better than others out there.

So we'll take a look at two different perspectives of how many people visited my site for various topics of interest over the past 11 months. It always fascinates me what content rises to the top over the course of a year. It was good to see ... » Continue Reading
"As of October 2024, all confirmed US bird flu cases have been very mild with zero hospitalizations or deaths. Conjunctivitis was seen in 93% of cases. Respiratory symptoms were reported in only 36%.

Such goals might include exercising more, eating less, losing weight, drinking more water, quitting a bad habit such as snacking or smoking, etc. Did you set such a goal? As a Natural Health Practitioner with a focus on wholefood as medicine that might be growing outside your front door, my Biblically-based natural healt... » Continue Reading
So apparently, we are wrapping up 2024 and ringing in 2025 by claiming that hyper-surveillance methods being rolled out in various areas around the globe are "for the children". If one were to conceptually draw an etherialized, cartoonish depiction of what is happening out there, it would seriously give kids nightmares! If you live in Marion County, West Virginia, it might be time to consider mov... » Continue Reading
THIS is scary! Of all the quotes I give below to summarize the article, the worst is the last one before the link: I'll requote it up top! "The planned online child protection measures would go further than regulations already in place in several European countries by introducing more direct government involvement." Now for the rest of the summary and the link to the full article itself. If you... » Continue Reading
