This was an amazing discussion with @Sarah Lauren about what somatic techniques are, why they work, and the profound level of healing that can happen. Somatic healing can help with not just PTSD but also a host of chronic diseases as well as help be a more stable and resourced mom. Definitely worth the watch. https://www.skool.com/healthy-people-have-gardens-3935/classroom/0c64ab51?md=35b8bab2f54f41dd9835204487a99777

Welcome Issa, Kristen and Candice! We hope you will please join the conversations and share your experiences and struggles! Together we are strong!

My friends restraunt used to make homemade ice cream during the summer, but the flavors were WILD combinations that worked surprisingly well. Chocolate Avocado, Strawberry Maple Bacon, etc. Using ONLY emojis or GIFs, put your favorite far-out ice cream (or gelato) flavor!

2nd attempt. Skool keeps glitching and I lose the entire post (yesterday's took 3 tries). A few days ago we had frost and today it will be 93F. Now that most of the big events out of the way, this week will be focused on farm stuff, getting ready for summer heat and catching up on everything that got put on the back burner for the last 2 months. I scored a mulberry bush and a Mexican lime bush from the dying plant shelf at the nursery, so those have been transplanted and are doing great. I have to figure out more permanent deer protection for the mulberry, since the deer have eaten my current bush down to sticks. Watering everything with buckets is already not sustainable, so I am trying to figure out a better strategy. I am definitely limiting myself on planting because of it. I probably will move the perennial plants to a more shady spot to reduce water demand. Harvesting: Eggs!!! The little ducks are finally laying, which is great since the big duck is starting to taper off. We have a fridge full, so it is time to scramble and freeze for later. Chamomile, thyme and mallow. Every year I seem to be adding one more "weed" to the food list. Mallow was once a garden nemesis, and now it is a crop to harvest. It can be dried and used as a nutritive tea like nettle (safe for daily use). The catnip is getting out of control again, so I might hack it back if I have time. The goats are getting dangerously bored, so I hope to get them out grazing fire breaks this week. My hay guy up the road harvested early, so I have to go pick it up (153 bales) in the evenings. I have missed the summer schedule. I work outside/run goats in the morning and evening and take a nap midday. It is getting light out at 430am right now and stays light until 930 pm. Long days, but totally worth it. What is on your list for this week? Any burning gardening questions? Image: one of the goslings pruning the oregano. They are like puppies, and chewing on everything!

My biz buddy @Amy Joy is running a gut reset challenge this week. It uses REALLY low lift steps to benefit your gut health (so very important!). It is mostly asynchronous, so no time zone math required.
