Recently I learned how to make an easy and convenient paste to be able to freeze or refrigerate it for ease of use. Before I was making my turmeric/ginger/lemon/honey morning drink everyday […]
Today is 13th of March… exactly a year since my surgery which had ended my first life and started another, different one with a second partner – cancer. It’s been a year and I am still waking up in the middle of the night wondering has it all really happened or was it just a […]
