A Wealth of Health: In Tune with Springtime
If you’re in New Jersey or the Northeast, it might not feel like spring, but it is! And the perfect time to re-run this Cathy’s Wealth of Health on being in tune with the season. By Cathy McNease, Herbalist
In Tune with Springtime: Healing the Liver
Spring has arrived with its chirping baby birds, windy weather and multitudes of fragrant blossoms. The Spring is associated with the Wood Element (Liver and Gall Bladder). We will be the healthiest when we attempt to attune our energies to that of the natural seasons around us. Imagine your energy is like that of a tree – if you observe the natural flow of the tree’s Qi (vital energy) through the seasons, you get an idea of being in harmony with Nature. In Winter the energy is deep in the trunk and roots, storing up for seasons to come. In Spring the tree’s Qi (vital energy) moves upward and outward to the branches, forming buds.
When our energy goes dramatically counter to this natural flow, we encounter health problems. In Springtime if we are still indulging in the heavier Winter storage fare, eating lots of meat, cheese and rich dishes, the end result is stagnant Liver Qi, allergies, headaches, skin conditions and lots of phlegm. A visit to the local farmers’ market will get you in touch with the fruits and vegetables that are truly in season for your locale.

Book Review: Would You Rather? A Memoir of Growing Up and Coming Out, by Katie Heaney
By Terri Schlichenmeyer
The Bookworm Sez“Would You Rather? A Memoir of Growing Up and Coming Out” by Katie Heaney
c.2018, Ballantine Books
$16.00 / $22.00 Canada 256 pagesSometimes funny, sometimes self-depreciatingly cringe-worthy, “Would You Rather?” is a refreshing change over the I’ve-known-since-I-was-a-child LGBTQ memoirs. Readers may also notice that it’s a bit overboard.
You’re late!
Oops, you overslept, got caught in traffic, the elevator was slow. Phone lines were down, email was down. You forgot, and you’re late, sorry. Or, as in the new book “Would You Rather?” by Katie Heaney, your understanding was just a bit delayed.
