A Trip Down Memory Lane

Posted on May 11, 2009 by No Comments

memoryI’ve been thinking about how much this blog changed lately.
It started out with some idea in my head, and to be honest I don’t even remember exactly what it was. It changed a number of times, not so much because I didn’t have a clear vision, but because I quickly realised I need to focus.
These thoughts lead me to look at some posts and some of them really made me feel proud, each with it’s own reasons.
So today I will mention those posts and will write what it is about these posts that make me feel proud.

My Own Private Small Intestine: this was a year ago, and it was one of the first deep understandings I had about motherhood. Since then I had many more understandings about my motherly role in life, but this one stands out because it really was the first one. More than that, it was the first one that Chinese Medicine helped me understand it so.

Blog Action Day- Poverty

Posted on October 15, 2008 by 7 Comments

It’s Blog Action Day today, and the topic we’re putting the spot light on is poverty.
I will talk about poverty from a different point of view, maybe, than what was intended by the good people who took the time to make this day happen.
I was thinking about the best way for me to talk about poverty, as I am ashamed to say- I don’t know enough about the subject.
Then I thought about Chinese Medicine, which in China was for years the only medicine around, and was the medicine for the people.
So let’s talk about that a bit, but before I start rambling about that, I want to send you to a good informative website about poverty- Learn About Poverty.

Medicine in general
I find it amazing that there are people in this world who don’t get the health care they need because they don’t have enough money.
It can be a very basic treatment they need and can’t afford, and it can be a constant care they need, for a chronic condition, which can add up to thousands of dollars a month.
Either way, they can’t afford it.
