Hello Followers,

Welcome to Thursday!

Each day brings new opportunities, allowing you to constantly live with love.

Be there for others.

Bring a little light into someone’s day.

Be grateful and live each day to the fullest.

It is time to dive into the incredible health benefits of sage and explore easy ways to incorporate it into your lifestyle today.

Every wise decision starts with a sprinkle of sage.

So, again do not underestimate the power of spices and herbs in promoting health.

One of sage’s most well-documented benefits is its ability to reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and irritability.

A 2023 Swiss clinical trial found that women who took sage leaf tablets daily experienced a 64% reduction in hot flash frequency after 8 weeks.

Sage contains phytoestrogen-like compounds that mildly mimic estrogen activity, helping to balance hormonal fluctuations.

KNOWLEDGE IS A TREASURE, BUT PRACTICE IS THE KEY TO IT

DID YOU KNOW!

Research shows that people who read regularly have brains that are structurally different from those who do not.

The areas of the brain responsible for turning written words into meaning particularly regions linked to language processing, comprehension, and imagination develop more densely over time in frequent readers.

When you read, your brain activates neural circuits that interpret symbols, connect ideas, visualize concepts, and process emotions.

With consistent reading, these circuits are reinforced and expanded, much like muscles growing stronger through regular exercise.

This leads to improved cognitive flexibility, deeper understanding, better memory retention, and enhanced ability to think critically and creatively.

Scientists have even found increased connectivity in the brain’s white matter among avid readers, which helps information travel faster and more efficiently between different brain regions.

This neural growth not only boosts literacy and learning but may also help protect the brain from age-related decline, improving long-term cognitive resilience.

In simple terms: reading does not just change what you know, it changes how your brain is built to think, feel, and understand the world.

Dan and I welcome you to join us with the next book for our book club.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE OCEAN, soothing wisdom from the sea – By Richard Harrtington

ENJOY THE TREASURES OF THE BEACH

The sea leaves behind many of its treasures on the beach, in the form of a strandline of objects of many wondrous things.

You can find shells, cuttlebones, mermaid purses, along with lots of seaweed.

Strandlines are a free gift for wildlife, lots of insects and pill bug-like sea slaters, which can feed on rotting weeds and animals’ remains.

The sea also leaves behind egg cases, bones, and shells and sadly often human trash as well.

Items may have floated from far and wide, from distant oceans and continents; they all make for a fascinating search.

This 10-minute guided meditation invites you to gently return to your inner sanctuary, a blooming garden of peace, presence, and stillness.

Perfect for moments when you feel overwhelmed, distracted, or simply in need of a mindful reset.

Through visualization and breath, you will reconnect with the calm that already lives within you.

Until Friday, mixing wisdom with humor is my special kind of sage.
