Hi Reader.
Wishing you ease everywhere possible, and hope, so much hope.
On keeping hope alive
Growing up with people dying had a huge influence on me and offered me frank clarity:
Not dead yet = possibility remains
If I have breath I have hope, and all of us reading this have breath, so hope remains. Of course it gets more complicated, but at base, this truth gives me hope and determination!
โ โAs I go on in life I also consider that even when we are dead possibility remains, but that's for another newsletter ๐!
Spring sickness is not kidding!
You may have noticed more folks getting sick this season, whatever has been circulating is strong and consuming. Wear masks, rest, avoid young children! ๐
Rest is key, but so many of us just don't do it. We forget, we are on the go or the roughest... it seems unjustifiable!
One of my favourite quick rests is laying on my back, feet hip distance apart, knees together. This position relaxes the back, rests the nervous system and generally boosts our Kidney Qi.
Take 5 minutes right now โ
Constructive rest is required for the body to heal illness and injury.
I have organized my availability, later slots are available!
Twice a year I host a week long "food reset". It is free or by donation as it is SO effective for health and well being. We gather a few times to prepare, swap recipes and learn about Chinese Nutrition. Then we eat real simple for one week, and take another week to integrate our usual foods.
So much learning, health, connection and growth is possible here โ

A week of whole foods eating is not that hard and so very healthful!

Thank you fellow queer parents! I just learned today that as of 2025 there is a Tax credit for Fertility costs! If you have done any kind of fertility anything this year or last check this out!!!! You can get 25%, up to $5000 back!!
Infuriatingly our medical model can be tremendously ineffective, from blatant systemic disregard to the inevitable nothing is perfect, far too often folks come my way with a mysterious illness or pain that no Doctor will take seriously and we sit together and almost always figure something out to feel better.
I have come to love these opportunities, though I rage at the injustices that result in humans being wholly disregarded by fellow health practitioners!
If you or someone you know is dealing with something a Doctor won't take seriously or can't figure out, send them my way, please.
This week I got to walk around the neighbourhood putting up posters, with some sun on my skin and gratitude for the conditions to have a relaxing afternoon. May we all notice where rest is possible, and do the revolutionary work that is to ease, even for a moment.
THANK YOU for reading
