How Are You All Doing? It's been quite a month, hasn't it? So much change and so much to process in such a short time. March has felt like a whole year! And yet, I'm feeling more positive and hopeful than I would have expected. I spend a lot of time online and that's not always a great idea. But, because of that, I've also seen a great coming together in a variety of circles, an amazing outpouring of creativity, generosity, and sharing of support. One of my customers told me she thinks the Earth is healing itself and I immediately thought : we're part of the Earth! Maybe she's healing us! We're seeing how interconnected we are locally and globally now more than ever before. May that be for the highest good for all of us around the world.

Mama Love Is Open for Business My Etsy shop is open! I'm well and plan to stay open unless I develop symptoms. I am also taking a lot of precautions. I wash my hands and wipe down my counters with isopropyl alcohol when I do orders. I wear gloves if I'm going to be touching ingredients like herb tea. And now I also wear an N95 mask in case I have the virus but don't know it yet. I have also cut down the number of times I go to the post office to twice a week to avoid being in public. So have no fear about buying from my Etsy shop! But please be patient about shipping. I'm doing everything I can do to help keep myself and you as safe as possible!

Why Thinking About Plant Energetics Helps When Choosing Herb Tea The other day I chose a group of herbs for a tea that left me running to the bathroom with mild diarrhea an hour or so later. Odd. I've drunk that combination of herbs MANY times before without problem so I thought it must have been something I ate instead. But no, over the next few days I had that same reaction every time. Hmm, what's this about? Read more . . .
