By supplementing the chemo with herbs and accupuncture, I feel like I’m putting really good compost into a barron soil.  I am aware that the balance within my system is seriously being disrupted with chemo.  I drew “nourish” today, after drinking my astragalus root tea which tastes nutty and sweet.  Perhaps I’ll have to do a drawing another day after taking my herbs.  We call it the jar of dirt, and I’m grateful for the suggestion to use grape juice to help with the ingestion.I love working the soil.  My garden looks better today than it has all summer because I have been able to spend time out there.  Better than how it looks is how I feel when I’m elbow deep in nice dark earth, and the transformation that occurs within me when I eat garden candy al fresco.  It’s better than calgon.  Well, I imagine it would be if I ever tried calgon.

I’ve been making my Nonni’s chicken cacciatore today.  Speaking of nourishment.  The fresh rosemary I picked this morning simmering in the olive oil and garlic, tomatoes and chicken are just making me YEARN for supper time.  In case your mouth isn’t watering from that description, know that I attempted a picture of  it, but A and I both agreed, it didn’t do it justice, so you’ll have to use your imagination or fix some in your kitchen to get the true impact!

I feel terrific today.  Thanks to all of you following along.  Your presence, support and love is felt very strongly.  We’ll be eating around 5:30 if you’re interested.
