Finding Zen, What the heck does that mean?

 Hi All!, Welcome to my first post. I'm not a literary genius, so be gentle with me.   But, I have lived quite a bit, and experienced a lot of things, both good and bad. 

Not only has 2020 been a year of the Pandemic.   I am really over Corona, by the way.  I also became a first time Nana, and my youngest left for college.  So I now have an empty nest.   I'm still trying to figure that out.   It's a little harder than it sounds. 

But I digress, Finding Zen - well it's a daily pursuit for me.  It started almost 3 years ago after my Breast Cancer Diagnosis.  I had Invasive Ductile Carcinoma, underwent a double mastectomy with reconstruction, and am almost as good as new.   Not really, but I'm alive, and thankful for every day! 

I pursue Zen everyday, whether it's through Music, Yoga or Meditation, thinking more before my big mouth flies open. 

During my healing process, I found a Healing Strong Group - more on that later, but that is where I learned about Essential Oils, might they actually have some health benefits for the cancer chick?  So my journey into learning more about plants, and their therapeutic qualities began.   

I can't wait to share some of the things I have learned with you all! 

Until the nest time, 

Namaste'
