You don’t know what you don’t know!One of my favorite sayings. Well thanks to the internet it is easy to learn about the things we don’t know. My mother smoked and drank alcohol while she was pregnant with me. She loved telling me about how I kicked the ashtray off her belly. Back then in the 60’s they thought the placenta would protect the baby from anything ingested. I ate hot dogs and lemonade almost everyday for lunch while I was pregnant. I knew by then in the 80’s that alcohol and cigarettes were a no no. But lemonade and hot dogs? Come on! What is so bad about that? Well, you don’t know what you don’t know. Soon after my little bundle of joy was delivered I enrolled in nursing school. That is when my journey began.

 

Learning about how absolutely amazing and complicated our bodies and minds are opened up a whole new world to me. My early journey as a nurse helped me understand physiology and how medicine worked. It led me to cross paths with and meet many wonderful people.

I have always been drawn to the earth though. As a child I would pick the juicy peach while my friends were filling up their bag with penny candy. As a teenager I enjoyed spending my time in the garden rather than listening to music or watching t.v.

Over the years I have been drawn more and more to the nurturing and transformational properties of plants, herbs, meditation, and just plain old attitude. We have been provided everything we need right here on earth.

Doctors are important and their knowledge and skill save lives. But what if I told you there might be healthier options to that medicine you are taking? I am NOT telling you to go against your doctor’s advice but I am suggesting you arm yourself with enough knowledge that you can have a discussion with your doctor about options you can use in addition to or instead of medicine.

I hope you check out my blog posts and that perhaps they introduce some new information that may be beneficial.
