The Apothecary

Beginnings - on My GrandMother's Mantel     Well, here in the last moments of my free time, I'm 'moved' to write of my Apothecary. I love that word: Apothe-cary. It makes me think of something mysterious and moving. It conjures visions of someone moving about in long, flowing, loose-fitted clothing mixing and making things. Things, in this case, refers to lotions,...

Wow. I Owe An Apology!

What did I do? I left way too many fonts in my last post. Not just way too many, but they were way too big and obtuse! That's what happens when I start learning how to do things on a computer...no matter how simple they may be! So, My Friends and Loved Ones, my Readers, old and new...forgive me. That couldn't have been easy to behold.  Now, that's settled. Listen...

Sorghum

I have my reasons for writing about Sorghum. In a short while you will understand! For now, just know that I'm really grateful that you're reading this!

There is a great wealth of information regarding the connection between the mind and body. More specifically, it is about how ones beliefs affect ones body. Put another way: what you...

Parsley - Today's Herb

A tiny green leafy item found in produce, most widely known to shoppers and diners as a garnish. I was at a Passover celebration and we were served Parsley to dip in vinegar. [As I recall, to symbolize the bitterness of the Exodus.] Most often, we don’t eat our garnish; not so with Parsley. Clearly not Parsley, but a lovely yellow bush! Again, speaking from personal...

Ginger, Continued

If I appear to be dragging out my Herb of the Day, I am. I know much more than I realized, and you know me: I love to share. Enjoy! Long, long ago and not that far away, in the City of Atlanta, my younger sisters introduced me to my first health food store. I was fascinated by all the dried herbs. And they were all so cheap. It was self-serve and just, oh, so very hip. I...

Ginger! Wow!

Well, Friends, it's like this: I have been using and experimenting with herbs for some 30 years now. Here recently, I turned my attention to Ginger. I have some inflammation in my body - right knee, to be exact--and Ginger is stated to be a anti-inflammatory. It is! What I Used: My first approach was to add . Initially, just a small amount, enough to make it taste...

Also still learning the fine art of blogging....

New Heights!

Good Sunday Afternoon! Yes, indeed, it is I! My first order of business is to thank all who listened in to my blogtalkradio show last night. From 7:00 to 10:00 p.m., people were listening to me and I really appreciate it! Even my mother dialed in. She said she fell asleep but she still heard most of it! Yet again, we had one or two technical difficulties but you know...

My Calling To Fulfill

I am Sandra Teresa Davenport. I am no preacher; nor am I the child of a preacher. However, I fully accept, embrace and enjoy my calling into ministry to teach and preach. The name of my ministry is LivingWellMinistries. Further, in the words of Franz Fanon. “Each generation must discover its mission, fulfill it or betray it, in relative opacity.” Now then, if I were an active 'preacher', I would conduct some sort of service most Sundays....
