I'm studying Nutritional Medicine at the moment and I love it. It has been a passion of mine for some time. Part of this passion comes from my family history. My Great-Grandfather was a herbalist and my mum tells me stories of how she felt when she would go into his shop and look up at all the jars from floor to ceiling of all the different herbs. I remember as a child playing with my Great-Grandfather's special weighing scales with the tiniest weights to measure the correct quantities of herbs. Something rang true with me then as it does now. Whenever I think of my Grand Father, who I never met might I add, I have this emotion come over me like I really do know him and that he is guiding me on my mission for optimum health and healing. It's strange to say that I love him, but I do. My mother describes him as an absolute gentleman with great intelligence and wisdom. I am thankful for this part of my family history.I have shared with my mum that I would like to inherit those scales one day, not because they are worth a lot in monetary terms but they are priceless to me because of how I feel about my Grandfather. When my Grandmother passed, I remember of all the things I could have of hers, and there were some nice things, I asked for her pale green cardigan she would wear. I still have it now hanging in my wardrobe. Some may think it strange but I am a very sentimental person and these are the things that are 'above the price of rubies' to me.
I'm currently reading a book called "Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar" I know I sound mad and my family have a lot of fun teasing me. I'm glad to be of service to them and bring them that joy! I love to learn about anything natural that can improve my well being. I have been praying for that next thing that I can learn about, aside from my studies, that will help me to heal and live a more vibrant life, and I think I might just have found it. I'll get back to you once I've completed my experiment! Now I really do sound like my mother. What a great feeling.

When my grandmother passed away I wanted this old, raggedy blue mohair blanket because it reminded me of her and her home which I loved. I understand.
