Just Talking and Talking. Sometimes About Chinese Medicine.

Me

This blog is written by a second-year Classical Chinese Medicine student at the National College of Natural Medicine, in Portland, OR.

As well as being a student, I am a mother and a wife. These aspects of myself are sure to enter into this blog somewhere. I was a professional cook for 9 years before I started graduate school for Chinese medicine, and this blog will include many of my recipes…hopefully organized in a manner that will correlate them with the seasons. I also spent a couple of years as a domestic violence counselor in a women’s shelter, and you may see some of my posts reflect that. I’m interested in everything having to do with birth and babies, as well as death and emergency medicine, and pretty much, whatever falls in between. My undergraduate degree is in Physics, and I have a love for everything mathematical and mysterious.

We don’t live in an age where we can easily and cheaply walk away from humanity and find our answers in a quiet cave and even if we did I’d have to take my son, so it wouldn’t be quiet for long! I’m hoping that this blog will serve as a metaphorical cave for me, where I can come to ask my questions of the Gods, or to shout my ideas at them, and hopefully, some muse, some where, will answer back. It would be nice if some of the humans that are around could participate too.
