Happy Thanksgiving Day this holiday long-weekend, from your friends in Canada! If you are gardeners, bring indoors and cover sensitive plants on Friday. Sincerely, Carolyn & family.

I am approaching the finish line of this long medical and spiritual health book!

I am cracking this 540 page nut! I am nearly finished. Better still, I am past the unpleasant subjects of diseases society fears or hopes to avoid. Now, I read about the positive, upbeat way to live wonderful lives.

I certainly disagree with Christiane Northrup on the subject of defining healthy, preferred food. This was republished in 2006, not 1906 and no one calls whole wheat grains or pasta unhealthy, nor do they think artificial sweetener and aspartame are better than just having a damn soft drink once in awhile. Most concerning, Christine hardly mentions vegetarians. Our beliefs that ANIMALS ARE NOT FOOD needs inclusion!

An excellent, spirituality & science inclusive, educational resource and guide.

To my surprise, even the section Dr. Christiane Northrup and I do not believe in was fascinatingly interesting, the terrible era of "hormone replacement therapy". Apparently up to the 1990s: medical doctors themselves and women, who probably included my Mom, were convinced a natural process needed medicating. Pharmaceutical labs made a dangerous error! It is progesterone that drops in perimenopause, not estrogen!

Thinking of Anne Perry with my personally fond memory of her beautiful work and real-feeling character families.

I am interrupting ongoing reading to turn to Anne Perry. I have just read that she went to Heaven in April this year. I am a great fan of hers and always will be grateful to her for her caring, soothing, intelligent, invigorating work and funny dialogue in her groups of characters.

Rest in peace, which you have earned, dear Anne! You are talented, compassionate, funny and I will ever be your fan! With Love, Carolyn.

I am going to breeze through the chapter I have nearly arrived at which is against my judgement: "hormone replacement therapy". Dr. Christiane Northrup agrees we are born with what we need and Donna Eden definitely teaches us how to make acupressure and meridian adjustments to hormone imbalances! Christiane wanted to describe the synthetic options but I do not need 40 pages of them. I will read that chapter fast.

Beautiful, real portaits of sweetly, gorgeously familiar cats in their homes! I love the normal poses and locations far better than anything posed. I see in their eyes and demeanours that these are loyal, profound, intelligent, funny sweethearts in each of their families.
