Game Night: Redefined




So a few weeks ago, me and a friend played her new board game. We had a blast! Me being me and my friend being herself... discussed and broke down the social, political and educational components the game implied. 

At first we thought this game was for suited for kids, but oh boy were we wrong. Although kids can enjoy this game, we had the most fun, as this game is best suited for those interested in learning herbs.

We took our time playing the game as we expanded our herbal knowledge, sipped team laughed at our setbacks and worked together to make it to the finish line, (there are no losers in this game). It was a fun night.

If you want to check out the game for yourself, here's a link to John Gallagher's Learning Herbs' Wild Craft board game.

The Art of Juggling






So, I've been pretty busy making products, developing new formulas, preparing to move and looking for additional   intensive courses and certified herbal schools to expand my knowledge (hey, if you have any pointers, please share in the comments section below). I'll stop there, because I haven't begun to talk about work, family and social life, all of which are very important to me. Needless to say I've got my work cut out for me.

Recently, I was sharing with friends how this schedule is taking its toll. Fortunately, one friend showed me a gold mine, a book she was reading called "Juggling Elephants" by Jones Loflin and Todd Musig. This book is about how to juggle a busy schedule like a ringmaster juggling a three ring circus act.

I was instantly enthralled, so I downloaded it as soon as I got home. So far, the book is just what I needed. It's concise, witty, detailed and to the point (thanks guys!).

Anyways, if you're interested in reading it for yourself here's a link where you can purchase a copy. 

~Happy juggling!
