Altnature News

Thank you for visiting the new blog. I was very disappointed with my previous blog, it crashed a lot and people kept posting spam on it. So that's why you have to type in a word that shows up in a picture now.

Working on herbal videos and hoping to have many more in the new year. I hope Google video catches on more because its better than Youtube, in my book anyway. I really think that in 07 video is going to be the thing to be doing, and plan to put a lot of effort into teaching wild plant education that way.

Its almost Christmas, so not real active outdoors at this time. I did notice that chickweed is blooming. For the last month I haven't seen much of anything except the aromatherapy candles I have been making, and the mess that goes along with it. It smelled good at first but unfortunately I can hardly smell the essential oils anymore so going to have to take a break from that.

My site, Altnature.com, is going through a lot of transition with my sponsor and stuff. Well actually he had to quit being my sponsor for a while. It's not my place to get into the why's of that. I just want to say that I very much appreciate his efforts, optimism and best intentions and hope things go well for him and we are working together again soon on our educational projects.

Happy Holidays everyone. However you celebrate this time of year, I hope you get to spend special time with the loved ones in your life. Because that's what makes life worthwhile. It's not what's under the tree, but the people around it that matter.
Peace and Love, Karen
