Over the last few months I have been dealing with something very unusual. My brain has not been functioning properly, from dizzy spells to hallucinations my mind was telling me something is not right. I would dry heave, write backwards, and speak out of order. With my full time job of being a book keeper and my love for sewing both of which takes full concentration I have been seriously becoming depressed. Mat carries on a conversation with me and I am only half there, I have not been alert to my surroundings. Friends in passing along the drive home, I would not even notice them. I have been to the ER, Neurologist, and a family doctor, all looking at me and scratching their heads. Telling me “well I’m not going to prescribe you any medication today” – why would you? I wondered – you don’t know what is wrong and meds are not the answer to everything- in fact they are hardly the answer to most things. All along I knew I needed to follow my heart and get adjusted. However I wanted to be absolutely sure I didn’t have tumors, which is what my family doctor was concerned about. Once that was confirmed, I scheduled a chiropractor’s appointment. I went yesterday, finally someone who believes in natural simple reasoning. As I was filling out my paperwork he had a digital frame going and first photo I saw was a yurt! I knew right then that this was going to be a positive outcome. He started with Acupuncture, without the needles, on my face, and moved to my back for some adjusting, ending at my feet with some Reflexology. The outcome; poor blood circulation to my brain, I will have to practice yoga introverts (headstands ect.) on a daily basis. I already enjoy Iyengar Yoga regularly, this will push me to learn and do more so. I have been wanting to learn more about yoga along with nutrition, now I must for my well being-

I feel that all this has been and is going to continue on to push me into the path that I have been feeling at my fingertips. Land, living in the round, community, hostel, homesteading.

I am energized and this is just the beginning –

Namaste,

Abby

Making bread-

We have been craving homemade bread, but with work, sewing, social life, exhaustion, ect. I haven't had the time to make any. THEN I remembered our friend telling us about a recipe he got out of Mother Earth News magazine.... I looked it up, and got inspired to FINALLY make some. After all last Christmas or maybe it was 2 Christmas's ago Mat asked for a dutch oven so we could start making it. And few years later... here we go. We had a ummy dinner last night this warm bread and canned soup from our neighbor- You can get the recipe here

Waiting for the snow to go away so we can go look at this.... We have attempted several times to go view it but every time we get a foot + of snow a day or 2 before we can get there.
