Of late, I have seen many posts on Facebook, especially in various Facebook groups, about using aromatherapy. There are so many that do not believe in aromatherapy as their religion does not support it. However, aromatherapy is real and very beneficial.
I was recently asked in one of these groups what scents I use to help me

Every season has its time. This, the month of December, is what many religions call the season for miracles. You could say that each holiday celebrated during this time of year, has its conception tied to some sort of miracle.
In my journey upon this Earth, I have encountered people form all walks of life, various religions, and different times of life

As the music wafts the air this morning, it mixes and mingles till it reaches my inner sanctum. I thank the light, which has just come on to enable me to read from the book in my hands. The music swells steadily. My hearing seems to be diminishing with each passing day

Hope that all’s well with everyone. Looking back on the past year, it’s been great to see a lot of new readers and followers. In addition to the thanks I owe to the circle of friends and family who followed me from the start, I’d like to welcome all my new friends, even if we’ve never met.

Got an invitation a while back for a 12 Pubs of Christmas Crawl. While I appreciated the thought, my mind instantly started calculating the locations of a dozen locally-owned coffee shops that I’d prefer, along with the conversation that goes along with drink number whatever. While I think I’ve aged out of the 12 Pubs Crawl, it doesn’t mean that I don’t stop in for an occasional pint or more.
I was sitting at the bar in a nearby pub one night and a couple of young Americans came in
