I missed you last week! I had a good reason for being absent though… Our family took our summer vacation. Yes, it’s late, but officially it’s still summer for a few more days, so it counts! The kids had been after us to go…
It’s that time again! The next Tea Talk is coming! I can’t believe it’s time for Tea Talk: Food As Medicine #4. The last three were so much fun – tea, food, friends and learning. If you haven’t been to one of them, go…

It’s been a hard week. Do you ever feel like you’re not doing anything right? I mean in a deep, core-of-who-you-are kind of way. We all wear different titles: friend, mother, wife, doctor-lawyer-indian chief (you know what I’m trying to say). There’s a level…
