Tuesdays How I love Tuesdays.



Tuesdays are my favorite day this semester.
Tuesdays start out with sleeping in! First class isn't until noon!
Of course, sleeping in consists of rolling out of bed by 8am.
I know! Its a sickness!

My first class of the Tuesday is Herbal Pharmac
y. WHAT a BRILLIANT way to start a day! Making something that heals! I should say, learning to make something that heals!

I finish the day off with Materia Medica (aka Mat med). This is learning the herbs. Those beautiful beings that do the actual healing.
So yes, I love Tuesdays.



Dear blog. I know I've been neglecting you! You who was helping me with getting my brain ability back! YAY for head trauma! I have been neglecting you and I realize that I am suffering for it.

Life has been a struggle these past 6 months. Just trying to keep everything working, everything moving forward! I feel like I'm starting to get on top again but it has been really slow going.
The light in my life is school.
I'm making herbal honey! OH SO AMAZING
! Here are some photos (If I can figure out putting them in)






My ginger honey has been a real hit. I kind of love the rose honey the most personally.
Tonight I'll be attempting lavender honey with the lavender from my garden.



Alright I'm about done with this blogging thing for the day! I need to start getting ready for class.
I will leave you with a photo of the Grand-Chubby Jack. It was his first Thanksgiving this year.

The Dalai Lama's 18 rules for living.










At the start of the new millennium the Dalai Lama apparently issued eighteen rules for living.

  1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
  2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
  3. Follow the three Rs:
    1. Respect for self
    2. Respect for others
    3. Responsibility for all your actions.
  4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
  5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
  6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
  7. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
  8. Spend some time alone every day.
  9. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
  10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
  11. Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
  12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
  13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
  14. Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
  15. Be gentle with the earth.
  16. Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
  17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
  18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
