What can I do?   

These last months of virus epidemic already had me a little on edge, then add fresh agony of wrongful death, I wanted to fix it, wanted to fix it all! I saw lots of positive energy invested into the chaos of pain and too much negative energy deflecting progress. I want to do something – but what? I kept pacing, kept asking, “What can I do?”

Natural herbs and minerals, good water, my sister’s Ondamed healing therapy, and time got me back to my new normal. That’s another story for another time.

But during that season of torment, I really thought I was dying. And I couldn’t do anything but accept the possibility.
