(Happy Post Script) THAT RAINBOW STRING BAG

Famous to readers of this blog, Caleb O'Connor was the 'angel' who found and returned my missing rainbow string bag left on the Amtrak train that carried me back home from a week away in Massachusetts September 3rd through the 11th.  It was his kindness and above and beyond diligence that ended my anxiety with a phone call at 10:30 PM on the 12th, and he personally mailed all via UPS which arrived in tact safely on the 16th.
Since then, I have informed all the many Amtrak employees, the Amtrak police, and the company Caleb works for of the good news, and my gratitude to all.  Yesterday His wife, Emily got in touch by email "We just got your lovely card. Caleb is not much of an email user so I am emailing on his behalf ☺️ we would love to read your story. I am so glad he was able to get your purse back to you he is a special guy and I too have been very proud to share this story." I sent her the "Story" contained in two posting on my blog:
But the new news is that they are on Instagram, and "you should follow along our little hobby...Marydale is our name or we have a website." Oh, hooray, it is a simply beautiful Vermont paradise!

Are proving invaluable to my well being and happiness.

The Herbalist 
Lani Courtney is the founder of Taking Root.
"In 2002, I attended college to pursue a science heavy pre-med course, and graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Biology and dual minors in Chemistry and Art.   However, following my undergraduate I found myself less inclined towards continuing education in hospitals, and more drawn to collecting plants in the woods.  I was enthralled by the pharmacology of whole plants and their connection with our physiology."  "Eager to expand my knowledge, I attended a 3 year clinical herbalism program at the Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism (VCIH). Here I had the chance to learn about herbal medicine from both traditional experience backed with current scientific research, as well as through work with my own clients under the supervision of registered herbalist in an integrated community clinic."
 Taking Root was Born 
All ingredients are organically grown and ethically wild harvested from either my own garden or reputable companies known for their high medicinal quality.
