Testing ..one..two..three.. here we go!

It has been nearly 2 years since my last blog post from my other blog.. and I have been meaning and wanting to get one going again. It serves  more than one purpose for me, and it is somewheat scary to share with other people.  Having been sharing more of who I am on Facebook over the last couple of years or so now, getting to know myself better, and becoming stronger in my ability to be myself online, if not here in my mother's house, I feel I am ready to do this.
I have pondered having a particular thing to blog about, but I just can't focus it that way. I have too many interests to do that. So it will be a mishmash of whatever I am feeling and thinking about at the time, and I am not going to apologise for it, LOL. Well, not in advance, anyway. I have learned not to set constraints such as 'never' and 'always' as that is like asking for proof that I'm wrong.
 I would like to introduce myself, but that will happen a little at a time as I go. Suffice it to say I am living in a challenging situation which fustrates me often, and that will come through. I am interested in herbal studies as medicinal and crafts and I love to make tinctures and oils and salves, lip balms and body care products. I also make jewelry, and have a shop on Etsy to sell what I make.
 I love to cook and collect recipes, and on Facebook I have a group called A Cauldron in the Kitchen for serving those interests. I am a Pagan at heart, a witch by nature, and an avid Abraham-Hicks follower.
 I live on an income from disability for now, until such time as I can get my financial feet back under me in some way. I have fibromyalgia, and something else that I can't quite remember the name of at the moment (thank you Fibro). Also other fairly common american health problems. I believe in alternative health care and despise the pharmaceutical companies for what they and the government are doing. I do not believe in the almighty power of doctors, and would much prefer a holistic approach that addresses an underlying problem rather than the symptoms.
 I have two elderly cats who have me wrapped around their tails and whiskers. I love animals and nature and mother earth. I believe in eating as healthily as possible, and in using products that are not filled with chemicals, as unprocessed as possible, as close to nature as possible. I also love my coffee and chocolate, desserts are my weakness!
I think that's probably enough for now...Welcome to my blog.
