This is my new friend Mustache. I adore this girl so much. She has some really bad back legs, but that really doesn’t stop her too much 😉

“There is a kindness that dwells deep down in things; it presides everywhere, often in the places we least expect. The world can be harsh and negative, but if we remain generous and patient, kindness inevitably reveals itself.”

“Something deep in the human soul seems to depend on the presence of kindness; something instictive in us expects it, and once we sense it we are able to trust and open ourselves…”

“The word kindness has a gentle sound that seems to echo compassionate goodness. When someone is kind to you, you feel understood and seen. There is no judgement or harsh perception directed towards you.”

“Kindness has gracious eyes; it is not small-minded or competitive; it wants nothing back from itself. Kindness strikes a resonance with the depths of your own heart; it also suggests that your vulnerability, though somehow exposed, is not taken advantage of; rather, it has become an occasion for dignity and empathy…”

“Despite all the darkness, human hope is based on the instinct that at the deepest level of reality some intimate kindness holds sway. This is the heart of blessing. To believe in blessing is to believe that our being here, our very presence in the world, is itself the first gift, the primal blessing.”

Can I just say that it has been almost non-stop rain here in asheville for a month. It has been a bit hard on my spirit but rain or shine -yesterday we started walking again. People and animals need to exercise… it is a must without question. It clears your head, your heart, the toxins, excess energy that can turn negative or into anger. It helps one maintain balance in all areas of their very essence. It feels so amazing and my dogs are so much happier, of course 😉
This last Sunday in herb lab, we learned how to make tinctures from herbalist Joel Boyle of Wind Fox Herbals. It was so different than how I was taught on an online group. My head was spinning with math and calculations. It was so much information. Now I know why people pay people to make brews. oy! but I will do this. I just have to be willing to make mistakes and keep trying. Tinctures are amazing methods of medicine for animals and people.
The biggest thing I am learning in herb class is how very toxic vaccines are and how they are the cause of every kind of allergy, cancer, disease and even behavior. It saddens me that this money maker isn’t questioned by people, but I guess they don’t know any different. Like when people get yearly flu shots and such. I was so dosed with shit as a kid, I am sure my sickness was due to vaccines. My teacher has an amazing blog with so much information on the issues. I suggest you check her out. She  also made this green powder call Spark that is packed with all the green goodness, probiotics, prebitiocs, herbs and such. I am definitely getting this for my dogs- especially as a preventive medicine. I didn’t realize Spirulina helps draw out all kind of toxins. This powder is good for all animals but especially cancer and immune deficiency.
The other thing is the base of everything – nutrition. Sometimes you can treat everything and anything but it won’t change because of bad nutrition – even for people. That is why I love naturopathy, but sadly, there is not a school here in the US for that. The US is so far behind in expanding and learning and recognizing other ways of healing. Australia, Canada and China realize how powerful these healing modalities are. China has thousands of years built on herbal learning from their ancestors, they didn’t just discard it but built this huge cabinet of information and keep expanding. They know how powerful herbs can be. Sadly in the US, we all go to doctors and vets who just make things worse with the “fix it” pills or injections instead of getting to the core of the problem and working from the inside out. Herbal medicine can take time to work, it isn’t a quick fix, but that is what we are all accustomed to. If we all went back to basics of eating whole foods, exercise and rest – for both us and our animals. Our problems would be less. We create this frenzy.
Ok. So off my rant.
If I can ask you to do anything this week… take a walk with nature. The energies and the planets are very intense this week, but going for a walk in the woods, spending time in nature and with our animals will help lesson this impact.
