St Hildegaard is a favorite of mine. She was so remarkable. An herbalist and natural healer ahead of her time, and a leader. There is a novel about her which takes many artistic liberties, of course, but which I greatly enjoyed reading and perhaps you would too.

I first became acquainted with her through a children’s picture book one of my kids got at the library, in fact.

Missing you on Twitter....

Love hearing about Hilde and you, and your adventures. For many years I lead a small support group of Moms and Babes at my church. Now the first group of my “babes” are graduating High School. Wow, how time flys! I miss my group.

I am determined to try your pesto recipe!

Many many years ago, I was on fluoxetine, and it changed my life. I was unable to leave my house because of the crippling anxiety, but that medicine allowed me to live again. ❤️
