Paul shared a song with me today that he found touching. An old one by Shawn Colvin named “Polaroids.” The opening stanza goes:
Please no more therapyMother take care of mePiece me together with aNeedle and threadWrap me in eiderdownLace from your wedding gownFold me and lay me downOn your bed
It goes from there with snapshots of a life. I didn’t relate to the rest but that opening was a grabber! I’m not in that bad a state but a big and growing part of myself wishes that Paul and I could find an enclave in the country, shut off the news, and just live blissfully free of knowledge of the madness and cruelty of the present day. Instead we’re taking a break from it on our apartment balcony with a fan and our cats, eating breakfast, and taking in what is good in this present moment right here where we are now.
But not before I took a few drops of my Mama Love for Troubled Times formula (now called Support for Troubled Times because I called my business Mama Love since creating it). SO grounding and emotionally soothing. I don’t feel like I need my mom to take care of me now—I feel safe and capable in myself. Which is a good way to feel!

Flower essences are used to assist with mind-body-spirit interactions and individual results may vary. They are extremely dilute which makes them quite safe. But because so little physical substance can be detected in a flower essence solution, these products are presumed to work on an energetic or vibrational level—something that cannot be adequately tested by western scientific methods. Claims made by me, therefore, are based on personal experiences and the evidence of the combined multiple decades of case notes by Dr. Edward Bach as well as Healing Herbs and Flower Essence Services (the companies who make the ingredients I use in my products). This is not, however, accepted medical evidence or substantiated scientific evidence from a modern allopathic point of view. I am not a medical doctor or licensed healthcare practitioner.
