Reaping What We Have Sown
Well, I believe that the October 2nd eclipse knocked away the chaotic base energy and brought in an amazing transformation! Your responses, cards, calls and simple expressions of caring offers of help, warmed this heart to the point that I recognize myself again.
I wore a Zio Monitor for two weeks to record what was really going on in my electrical system every single minute. I gave it a good test, climbing hills, drinking alcohol, being totally stressed to the max – having succumbed to hackers and 9,800 fake orders on my website – and lo and behold, no AFib. I eased off medications on the third day of wearing that uncomfortable, glued-on set of wires. No one considers the phenomenal motion and expanse of flesh from the orbs of delight. Lots of pulling and itching and rippling when in motion. Still no AFib.
I listened to the words of my very first mentor and dear friend, Rosemary Gladstar, and ordered Cardiac Calm Px from Michael, an herbally-influenced cardiologist. That is a great combination! More integration, less judgement. I’m back on my herbs and supplements, and feeling frisky. I recognize this woman in my skin. Me!
The call for what I wanted was heard! I have interviewed many people for the roles of File Manager, hired the passionate Emily Fellows. I have a few more candidates for the BIG JOB of digital organization of files and hope to decide by the end of this week.
After that I will have Emily send out transcription files. Our group of volunteers has doubled since my last writing! We will get the books out in digital form and use the income to print paper editions of (drum roll and lightning bolts)
The Birth Epoch and Care of the Young,
The LeSassier Materia Medica,
Evaluation, Formulation and Clinical Skills
plus
Colors, Gems and Auric fields
That one I dare not read, you know, just so this book series is completed without mind-blowing distraction.
Western Facial Diagnosis posters.
I have a slightly water-damaged pile of William’s Western Facial Diagnosis posters. Every herbalist needs this in their bathroom to allow clients to learn more about themselves.
Shall I have a fundraiser and offer them with their “antique” appearance? Bids beginning at $40 plus shipping. What do you think?
I intend to stay home for the winter to accomplish rapid progress on our LeSassier Books Project. Maybe I will offer indoor jazz concerts to the twenty who can fit on the second floor. Winter survival tactics.
More??? I will hold three days of Clinic. We will take on some very complicated clients with issues still mysterious and unresolved in the western medical model. A challenge! I will do one intake, a selected few will be the practitioner for the others. Yes, I will be present to assist if needed.
Jump! Observation in circle is the best way to learn. Practice! Be challenged.
More and more? I will be sharing Reading the Body here in Marblehead every other month to seven students, $250 a weekend, with herbalists enrolled in the Legacy Training Course co-teaching.
We will cover Reading the Body as taught to me by William LeSassier. All sections in the outline of the presentations must be completed. Each student will commit to teaching segments each weekend we meet. We will be co-teaching; you will teach, and I might add in something fascinating. I will teach a segment here and there depending on how many of you are present. There must be one other teacher and 7 students to proceed.

Arkansas? Perhaps in March – let me know if you are near.
I will also be in West Virginia teaching Reading the Body Immersion with Margi Flint for Tonic Herb Shop, April 5 – 6 2025, and maybe an extra day of clinical skills during the week.
For fun and giggles, here is my interview The Herbalist Hour when I was at the Great Lakes Herb Faire.
Then off to travel and teach to more wonderful hearts and minds on this gorgeous planet.
Yup, I’m back.
