LostLemonade

Why Natural Care? -- Many years ago, my daughter had a terrible case of eczema. After spending years and tons of money on prescriptive and over-the-counter "wonder creams", nothing had changed. I stumbled across a woman selling shea butter (literally, I tripped over her at an open air market). Out of guilt for knocking over some of her product, I purchased a tub. About a week later, my daughter had a flare-up and was very uncomfortable. None of the wonder cream was available and so I rubbed some chunks of the shea butter over the irritated skin. Not only was my daughter able to sleep comfortably that night, by morning the flare up had diminished! It was the morning that I began the change to natural care for myself and my family.

Why “Lost Lemonade”? — Lemonade, to me, has always been about sunshine and light. It oozes freshness and fun. Several years ago, I began to loose my “lemonade”. My choices in life were sapping the flavor from my lemonade in little dribbles everyday.

The shorter version of the long story (which is revealed through my blog ) is that one small change in my life, helped me see that I had lost myself in the process.

So I began a journey to find my lemons and sugar and ice, pitcher, stirrer, everything, so that I could once again be about sunshine and light, freshness and fun.

Good days and bad days, I’ll be here. Feel free to join me.
