Purchase any reflexology gift card through this Sunday (see my previous posts in For Sale) and you’ll receive a small flower arrangement with your session! You can still choose a free bath fizzy or shower melts, but a few people asked for flowers, so I thought others may want to know they can have this too.
They sure do bring joy into our homes 🙂 Flowers are used in feng shui to refresh and refine energies and make offerings… Beautiful blessings…
Gift baskets with natural hand and foot care, tea and treats available as add-ons as well as a larger flower arrangement or bouquet (from Neahkahnie Blooms.) Contact me at the number below to order your gift basket and book appointments for May 20th-31st.
Thank you.

I am looking for someone to please help me find out why my lawn mower wont start.
I took it up to the barn and put it away nicely. Had a newer battery. Tried to start it and it would not. I bought a new battery, a new fuse, and the wiring was done about 2 years ago. So what gives?? Ugh… it’s always worked before.
Any ideas? Thank you for your help.
(Wheeler) – The Nehalem Bay Health District this week submitted to Tillamook County’s Community Development department design and permitting documents for the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy in Wheeler.
The submittal represents a major milestone in the project and anticipates a permit review schedule by the county that will allow groundbreaking in mid-July 2024.
The new Health Center will replace the existing Nehalem Bay Health Center, housed in a building that was constructed in the 1980’s that has no space for expansion or for the development of new health care services. The new Health Center will be located in a prominent location on U.S. Highway 101 across Hospital Road from the Wheeler City Hall. The new facility will have 15 exam and treatment rooms, a large pharmacy, a dental suite, dedicated space for behavioral health services and a large community meeting room.
Health District president Marc C. Johnson said the board is proud that a significant community project has been developed by a talented all-woman team of architects and designers from Scott Edwards Architects, as well as a diverse consultant team that met the Health District’s goal of teaming with multiple COBID certified Oregon firms.
(COBID firms are certified as minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and emerging small businesses).
“This team has worked diligently with the health care and administrative staff of the Nehalem Bay Health Center to plan an efficient, modern facility that will serve our community far into the future,” Johnson said.
The Health District board has also placed a premium on working with firms with substantial health care and coastal design and construction experience. The rest of the District’s team includes The Klosh Group, serving as the District’s owner’s representative and Bremik Construction the construction manager/general contractor.
Here is a timeline of key activities leading to construction of the new
Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy.

• Local General Obligation (GO) bond measure for $10.25 million secured: May 17, 2023

2 Across follows the unexpected encounter between two strangers on an early morning San Francisco commuter train. They’re alone in the car, each is married, both are doing the New York Times crossword. She’s an organized, sensible psychologist and a crossword pro. He’s a free-spirited, unemployed ad exec who always quits. They are two opposites in an enclosed space, challenging each other’s values but also being swayed and intrigued by them. They each have serious life problems that the other helps solve. As the commute unfolds, the audience is drawn into a whirlwind of witty banter and unexpected twists.
2 Across is directed by Markus Brown and features Margo McClellan as She (Janet) and Ben Van Osdol as He (Josh).
The production crew includes Sondra Gomez (costumer), Mick Alderman (lighting design), Sam Dinkowiz (sound and video design), Mick Alderman and Markus Brown (set builders), Juan Lira (set painter) and Nancy McCarthy (sound and light operator).

they are sprouting up alongside and between the stone steps going down into my garden. they are tiny, two- and four-leaf. by the time you get here, some might be 6-leaf.
there are 1000’s !!!!
these are from green japanese maple trees, and they are not laceleaf. i don’t know the variety. i bought one when i first moved to this location 27 years ago. since then i planted seedlings from the japanese maple trees at U.S. Bank in manzanita. so these are likely a cross.
they have grown to their mature size of 15-20 feet tall on my north-facing hillside. in full sun they likely wouldn’t grow that tall.
they turn amber/russet colors in the fall, more vibrant with colder autumns, less colorful with milder autumns.
please TEXT if you are interested. 503-842-4637

The goal of this retreat isn’t to get rid of shame.
It isn’t to be a better version of yourself.
It isn’t even to be happier.
I woke up in a terrible mood this morning.
I didn’t want to write this or be “productive.”
I didn’t even want be unproductive!
Everything just felt annoying and hard.
So made myself tea and let myself journal all the restless and stuck thoughts.
I could sense grief and anger in there.
And a strong unwillingness to “figure it out.”
So I used something that always helps when I’m feeling this way.
It’s the last thing my bad mood expects me to do.
Instead of trying to fix or change it, I lean in and..
I light a candle to the terrible mood.
Sit in the holy temple of shame.
Call irritation my guru.
I don’t try to make myself feel better.
I make whatever I am feeling, sacred.
I surprise people when I stay I’m proud of my divorce.
In fact- I’m more proud of it than anything I’ve ever done.
That’s not because it was easy or that I was able to stay on task or give myself a glow up.
It’s simply because I didn’t allow shame to take it over.
I didn’t shame myself and I didn’t shame him.
I also didn’t shame my grief, my anger or my fear.
I was able to let these emotions move through me.
I let myself cry and collapse and feel lost. I let weeds take over my garden and let lots of obligations drop.
It was one of the greatest gifts I have ever given myself and I’m proud of it because pride naturally exists where shame is absent.
I accomplished this by making the hardest thing I’ve ever done- the most SACRED thing.
Shame can’t enter the places you hold sacred.
When you make something sacred you move it from the shadows and shine a light on it.
You imbue it with the power to transform mundane reality.
You acknowledge that pain and suffering is a part of your connection to life.
You surrender the need to control and make it better
You declare that (no matter how broken you may feel) this too is a part of your magical journey.
To make shame sacred is to transform it.
This is a massive shift in a culture that has used shame for centuries to punish, oppress and keep us disconnected.
If this feels inspiring then come this Saturday for the retreat 11am-3pm
Get your tickets here

This Beltane I hope you welcome all parts of you (especially the shamed ones) as sacred and enjoy more of whatever gives you pleasure!
Bee Well & Happy Spring!

Brief Description:
Modern-era clinical trials show psilocybin-assisted therapy brings “immediate, substantial and sustained” relief from anxiety and depression in patients with advanced cancer. Palliative care providers are eager to add a new palliative care tool to their toolbox to address non-physical suffering. This presentation will briefly review the trials and findings, the prohibited status of psilocybin under current law, and efforts to evolve the law to allow access for therapeutic purposes. The discussion will include Oregon’s pioneering Psilocybin Services Act, the first state law to legalize and regulate this substance despite its federal status.

As Robert Frost put it, “the best way out is always through”. And as John Green wrote in The Anthropocene Reviewed, “And the only good way through is together. Even when circumstances separate us – in fact, especially when they do – the way through is together.”
So whatever place you may find yourself in or whatever struggle you are encountering, these questions can be a transformative way through together.
Wherever you find yourself, these questions are designed to help you uncover, recover, and discover more of who you truly are.

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer & Henry Shields
Directed by: Frank Squillo
From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes the smash hit farce.
Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous.
This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines).
Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!
Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award-winning comedy is a global phenomenon guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
Apologies for the incorrect time on the previous announcement.
