Happy Friday + Randomness

February 26, 2016

askforthemoon

Happy Friday! I’m heading into the weekend sneezing up a storm due to the bountiful pollen floating in the air. If I could ask for the moon, I would implore the allergy gods to please leave me alone. On the flip side, the blooms are breathtaking, and I love the scent that the cusp of spring brings. So fresh! Unlike the flowering beauty everywhere, I’m looking and feeling pretty rough, my friends.

If I could ask for the moon, I would also inquire after some peace and calm. My book is coming out in less than two months and the jitters have shanghai-d my normally serene (ha!) disposition.

So I’m off to hunt down and guzzle some raw apple cider vinegar to quell the ah-choos (did you know that apple cider vinegar helps with allergies?), and I’m eager to indulge in some comfort routines over the weekend to soothe my jangled nerves.

If you could ask for the moon, what would you ask for?

Cherry blossoms time
Crisp air, sunny, pretty days
I need some tissues

Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend. May you be allergy-free!

    I wish that people would make the time in their lives to be more kind to others. Did you read about the young boy who was kicked off his flight because he was allergic to a dog that was on the plane? When the family gathered their stuff and left (the boy was breaking out in hives), the people in the plane clapped!!!!! I know what allergies are like. You should take care of yourself. It is important.

    I am excited about your book getting here! I know that it will be great!

      Hooray! I’m looking forward to your feedback, Delphine! The allergies are definitely subsiding, but I’ll get these sneak sneeze attacks at the most inopportune times…

      It’s been gorgeous in Seattle! It’s becoming overcast now, but lots of sunshine and happy signs of nature in all its glory :-). I hope you like the book, Max! It was one of the biggest endeavors of my life so far…

    Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV has many virtues! Get Braggs as it has the ‘mother’. Not a paid commercial here but that’s what we found the best. I hope it helps you!

    I am really looking forward to your book release too! Take it easy this weekend!

      I have Braggs! It does seem to do the trick, though it doesn’t eliminate the sneezing entirely. Thank you, Melissa!!
