I wanted to update and thank everyone that sent out good wishes to my son Liam. Before Christmas he ruptured a kidney and had a dangerous amount of internal bleeding. He was MedEvaced to Vancouver. Luckily the bleeding stopped and after a couple of procedures and tests, he did not lose the kidney. He’s now home and we are all so happy and relieved that he is healing.

Had a beautiful and educational day at an organic medicinal plant farm. They practice biogenic farming which includes things like breeding thousands of frogs and dragonflies for pest control. The day included interesting medical lectures and a fabulous al fresco lunch!! Brought my daughter this year, since it’s always so interesting. Although by the end of the day she had information overload, she really enjoyed it.

Took a HUGE step out of my comfort zone today. Sat in a tub of ice water for over 2 minutes at a Wim Hof workshop. Your instinct is to leap out immediately, not sink deeper into the frigid piercing cold that takes your breath away, but amazingly once you work past the fight or flight response, the ice water becomes tolerable. Research shows that short term stressors such as cold exposure (ie a cold shower or bath) and pushing one’s boundaries by trying new things actually sti...mulates the growth of new brain cells, improves the immune system, reduces inflammation and much, much more. I must admit I felt amazingly clear, calm and relaxed yet energized for the rest of the day. Although one of my goals for this year was to try new things and test that comfort zone, I didn’t expect an opportunity quite like this to present itself so soon, lol. See more
