Flying is the only way to describe the way this last year flew by.,.
December looking back itβs been a year of medical and some nice travel in between.
The only thing I seem to have to show for it is a year of Sketches.. Sharing one a day seems like an awesome goal for the new year ahead, hereβs the first.
Gosh, two years ago spring inspired me to write. Here is is spring 2023 and yet again spring inspires! Everything so alive, grass growing, blossoms bursting forth with colors, & trees budding! Birds singing, crows cawing, & chickadees nesting in foliage, all great for leisurely walks & heart pounding bicycling. Quiet moments taking it all in, reading about everything, and relationships renewing.
Life, Alive, Healthy, Joyous, moments to build memories, reminders all around us to live in the moment. Suns warming rays urging us to play. Music adding bounce to our steps.
What are you dreaming of doing! Any goals planned for spring vacation or summer? Me? Heading to San Diego, Denver, maybe Houston and Seattle, for Business, Wedding, Gravesite visits, & Birthdays respectively.
And joys in life include books! What are you reading? April Seems to be a book release month!

Time to snuggle up with a good book, blanket, & Cup of tea! Take care! M
Rain is falling, Flowers are blooming, bees are a’flight, Spring is a favorite season. It’s also a time to support your body naturally.
I start my day with an essential Oil scent that uplifts & revs me up like lemon or Lime topically (photosensitive, be careful of citrus oils and sunshine). Water and protein are important components for my day and plenty of fruits and vegetables.
I pick a day and do a mild detox like a good ole’ H2O fast. I like to do this as a way of resetting my body in the spring and fall. Herbs like Cascara sagrada can also help detox, it is much stronger though, so listen to your body and back off if it’s too strong.
A way I support my sinuses is rinsing with H20, baking soda and neti pot Salt to rinse pollen & irritants away (Nasal irrigation). The Allergist tells me clean sinuses equals a clear chest, which help keep my lungs clear and healthier. One might even consider herbal Suppliments like Dr Weil advocates, stinging nettle to support the sinuses during spring irritants.
Most of all get out and walk or ride a bicycle, to get some fresh air! I don’t know about you, but I’ve been sitting inside way too much. Air & sunshine are important for your health! Vitamin D is produced in your body with sunshine, but some of us need a boost. The Dr. has me take 4000 IU’s of D3 a day.
I end my day with an essential oil, one that helps me meditate & unwind like Frankincense or Lavender. I like to diffuse oils or use them topically.
Water/H2O, oxygen, sunshine, & exercise, all free everyday, will start you on a healthier journey. A change of scenery with a little help from mother nature, she sure smells good.
Sending Blessings out to you and yours. π. Ms. M

What is Your life suppose to look like? What do you want? I think I want Joy, Beauty, Peace, & Love to be part of my life. A sanctuary place to be nurtured and cocooned in. But, I also want to be able to grow as a person, to keep learning and sharing.
What are your favorite things to do? I like to Read, Get together and DIY with other people. I enjoy seeing and making art. Although lately, it’s just been drawings. I miss the exciting environment of art classes, where synergy happens, with ideas being shared and see them come to fruition. I like getting together with others, just to pass the time. Did you ever sit around and snap peas with your family? Or gather around the table and make cards? Simple fun, mindfulness…
I think I am going to pick up where I left off and delve into more Essential Oils & Herbs, and Supplement, start sharing these again. I used to really enjoy gathering together and learning. I’ve been working on a website and sharing my story about what I’ve done to help my health along, be proactive. I’d love to hear what’s helped you!
Time to Take more Walks, either at the wharf, or on the beach, or just around the block. Maybe get a bike with a basket & see if I can still ride. Move more, see more, do more. But a leisurely pace. No more rat race or chaos, just listen to the birds and smell the flowers. Enjoy life more.
