A throw back video of our 2020 Nettle adventures for your viewing pleasure...Fast forward to 2023 and Spring has Sprung once again and my Nettle patches are in their full glory. This herb is a spring favourite...interesting how this plant is so abundant during "allergy" season just when you need it! Nature providing a little support for those of you sensitive to the side effects of spring (pollens). Nettle is also a favourite tonic herb used in pregnancy, postpartum and anytime one could use a gentle source of vitamins and minerals. Dry this herb and steep it for tea, blanch and freeze to add to soups and stews for added nutrients in the winter, so many things you could do. Our family favourite is Nettle Pesto and Nettle and Cheese Scones. Happy foraging and if you would like some Nettle let me know.

Happy Mother’s Day to my incredibly inspiring patients, friends, and family members on this journey of Motherhood. I am a mom to these two soulful human beings as well as a good bunch of furry four leggeds, and loved and held up by my mom Janis.

Let’s all take a renewed commitment to one another today to lift each other up, refrain from judgement and love one another like the fierce loving women that we truly are.

It is a stormy day on Vancouver Island today but we are warm and oh so cozy, cuddling with kittens and puppy, working on the clinic Reno, putting a puzzle together and taking down the Christmas tree. We had a small fire last night and each let go of something that wasn’t serving us last year, burning our notes in the fire and keeping one special note of hope in our pockets. My hope is to live fully for each moment in each day.

Here we go! No turning back now. Bye bye pantry, hello hallway from the clinic to the bathroom to make River’s Edge Naturopathic Clinic fully self contained and separate from the rest of the joyful home chaos.

Winter is a special time for our family with warm traditions around Christmas and New Years that always involve spending time with friends and family. 2020 has been a challenging year for many, my family included, and to heal from our losses we have been sharing how we can come together and strengthen our bonds this season and fend off some of the loneliness. Here is our list! Check it twice!

* Lights, Lights and more lights. My husband created a beautiful light display on our back patio around our fireplace where we can enjoy a warm beverage and some star gazing at night. These lights won't be coming down any time soon. They soften the dark nights and days.

* Our Christmas dinner will be potluck style this year. Yes, even my 8 year old will be cooking up her favourite dish to share, and I will work hard to stay out of her way. I am so looking forward to this, especially seeing my husband in the kitchen, and the adventure of the meal somehow coming together.

*Exploring the coastal mountains, namely Mount Arrowsmith, Mount Washington, Mount Cain and any somewhat accessible peak. We are avid skiers and lovers of snow, so we will need to go higher to fill this passion. Being newish to Vancouver Island, we have a lot to explore and much can be accomplished in a day trip though come to think of it, perhaps an overnight, winter camping experience for the girls is in order.

* Bonfires and Homemade Eggnog...hmmm, I see a lot of this in the immediate future.

*Christmas Movie Marathon...well this has already started but we all have our faves and this is a nice way to cuddle up and stay warm on a rainy December Day

*Virtual Meet ups with our family and friends family for sure. I can't remember a year we haven't been together and we will find a way to connect, reminisce, and share our hopes for 2021.

* Finally, Chores...and lots of them which we will accomplish together each day so that we can rejuvenate from the year of hard work by sharing the load a little differently over the holidays. Having horses, there is never lack of p**p to shovel or fences to mend!

My wish is that we can all find some purpose in these dark winter days, to quell the anxiety, loneliness or despair that may come knocking. Winter is naturally the time to go inward, reflect and rejuvenate however we still need to feel connected to our own life force as well as the energy of those near and far.

In Love and Peace
Dr. Jennie
