Health is Wealth

By Kathy Casey | Published August 1, 2024

The vitality of all people

Inevitably comes from their peace of mind.

When anxious, you lose this guiding thread;

When angry, you lose this basic point.

~~ Original Tao, 4th Century BCE

Greetings to all my precious people!

We are most certainly in the “dog days” of summer.  The sweltering weather typically coincides with the annual heliacal (meaning “at sunrise”) rising of Sirius, the Dog Star. During the “Dog Days” period, the Sun occupies the same region of the sky as Sirius, the brightest star visible from any part of Earth. Sirius is a part of the constellation Canis Major, the Greater Dog. continue reading »

The Healing Gift of Self-Compassion

By Kathy Casey | Published July 25, 2024

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.

~~ Joseph Campbell

Greetings to all my precious people!!

My travels across the pond served as the good medicine needed for restoration. Ireland is known for its high standard of living, with a strong focus on work-life balance, a vibrant sense of community and a more relaxed culture compared to the fast-moving lifestyle of New York.  People tend to prioritize spending time with family and friends, enjoying the “craic” (KRAK) which translates to good times, friendly conversations, and fun experiences.  I witnessed this on a daily basis, with folks gathering along the green expanses just sitting around and talking!  People were outdoors, enjoying the fresh air and early morning mist, when you could hear the birds chirping and watch the village square come alive with activity.  Time was measured in togetherness and not hours.  continue reading »

Sweet and Tangy Beet Green Slaw Recipe

Great care is taken to use the whole plant, as the greens are packed with folate, the most vital nutrient in genetic expression and DNA replication and repair. Beet greens are also a great source of betaine, and both betaine and folate keep the methylation cycles humming as major methyl donors that recycle homocysteine back to methionine.  continue reading »

Dia duit to all my precious people!!

Dia duit (dee-ah gwit) is the traditional and common greeting among Irish nationals who speak Gaelic and it translates as “may God be with you”.  This phrase is used in much the same way as the English word “hello”.  Traveling the West Coast of Ireland for the past week, we heard that phrase time and again as we meandered in and out of shops, pubs, and country festivals.   continue reading »
