So much has changed since 2012, when I posted 52 videos about herbs on this YouTube channel. First of all, the bad things: I had endometrial cancer, and of course, the pandemic, but good things happened too! I became a grandmother of twin boys and I deepened my interest in art, especially encaustic collage. As of this writing in 2025, there were nearly 100,000 views and 450 subscribers. I hope you will stick with me as I begin posting again on my channel, this time on the subject of art and short story writing.
