  • A Heavenly Vacation

    Prior to this weekend, I hadn’t been to Columbus for 6 years…or maybe 7. I’d seen my friend, John, and his partner, Tara, on other occasions in NY since then, since I’d gotten sick. This was the first time I… Continue reading

  • Walking in Circles

    (Thursday’s post) I spent the day out of focus. I was trying to pack for a trip to visit my friend John and his family in Columbus. Instead, I talked on the phone, made a trip to an ashram to… Continue reading

  • Menstrual Health

    For those of you who know me in real life (not just through my blog), you are aware that I’ll talk about anything. Anything at all. Just bring up what’s on your mind and I’m ready to discuss. And if… Continue reading

  • The joys of herxing

    I’ve now coiled for Lyme three times since August 13, or about 2 weeks. My plan heading into fall is to coil every week. It’s already getting scary. I don’t know how to make sure I’m detoxing fast enough. I’m… Continue reading

  • Opportunistic Infections

    I’ve been careful all along not to get sick with anything else. I know my immune system is running over capacity in order to keep the tick-borne infections in check. I do my best to keep my body running without… Continue reading

  • Waiting for the storm

    My neighborhood is restless with anticipation. I went for a walk today. There were people doing last minute vegetable shopping (like me) in a small vegetable store which I have never seen so empty of produce. Mostly the customers were… Continue reading
