Excited and delighted to see everyone in a week for S15 of 16. This training and the teachings from Sifu Jerry Alan Johnson have been life-changing and life-giving. Grateful does not describe the emotions I feel. Love you all so very much.

Wildcrafting involves gathering Red Dead Nettle and infusing it in oil to create a potent nettle butter for soothing muscle aches and pains. The process of extracting the beneficial properties of the herb captures its healing potential, offering a natural remedy for relieving discomfort and promoting wellness.
Tomorrow marks the advent of spring, and we've been treated to a tantalizing glimpse of the season ahead—a delightful evening meal in the park, nourishing not only the body but also the soul.

Happy Pi Day.
A day to recognize the significance of this irrational number in mathematics and science.
In Chinese medicine, Pi Day may not have a direct significance as it does in mathematics or popular culture. However, the concept of balance and harmony, which is central to Chinese medicine, can be related to the essence of Pi Day.
In Chinese medicine, the body is seen as a complex system where balance between yin and yang energies is essential for good health. Pi Day, with its focus on the mathematical constant π and the circle, may be seen as to symbolize the concept of wholeness and interconnectedness, similar to the holistic approach of Chinese medicine.
The circle, which is a prominent symbol on Pi Day, may be understood to represent unity, infinity, and the cyclical nature of life in natural healing philosophy. This idea resonates with the Chinese medicine principle of maintaining balance and flow in the body's energy channels to promote well-being.
While Pi Day may not have a direct association with Chinese medicine, the underlying themes of balance, harmony, and interconnectedness can be appreciated and reflected upon in the context of holistic health and well-being.
What are you doing today to achieve and maintain balance, harmony, and interconnectedness?

It’s truly beautiful to experience the growth of compassion and love for my Sisters, free from conflict or drama, and to feel secure just being ourselves as we evolve into the people we are meant to be. We are in the process of Becoming, and this transformation is the result of trust and hard work. I, and we, are responsible. I am sincerely grateful for th love I feel for these special souls, whom I believe I have known for countless lifetimes.

Spending a fun and nourching day in Vancouver’s Chinatown. Brisk cold mountain weather and chilling wind, wearing my beaver fur long jacket. Being Red River Métis, and family history with the HBC, I felt at home. So many laughs and lessons with one of my most amazing long standing friends.
