When we imagined this fun podcast/blog journey, we did not image it in the world as it is now. We had visions of health classes and medical practitioner visits, massage therapy, and abundant trips to the grocery store to get all of the non-meat foods. Yet, today we find ourselves in a much different place. We, Illinoisians are in day 5 of a “stay at home” orders and day 13 of “social distancing”, which to us looked much the same as the stay at home orders. Therefore, we cannot make appointments for acupuncture or chiropractic work – just for fun. The gym is closed and all exercise is to be done on your own.
The world’s sickness counts are growing exponentially by the day. Our stress levels, as those not yet affected are high. Will we become infected from the mail? From our packages ordered online? From the food delivery? From the grocery store? Our lives and the lives of our kids have changed dramatically to be one of just us, at home, all day. Which is weird and strange and confusing for all of us. Yet we are the lucky ones, we are fortunate enough to be able to stay home. We are able to work remotely, we work for companies that have products that are sustainable through this current situation. We know we are lucky, but that does not mean we do not feel quite untethered right now. What a great time to in which to have something good on which to focus!
And with that… we have started our journey to the discovery of health and happiness one remedy at a time!
