On October 31st, while most people are buying last‑minute candy, planning a fun costume and fixing lopsided plastic tombstones on their lawns, I’m going to invite you to look at something a little more interesting. Many cultures, particularly Spanish speaking ones, honour what’s known as the “Day of the Dead.”  This celebration invites us to remember those we have lost, but it also offers an opportunity to explore a deeper understanding of how our lineage affects us today. 

If you experience occasional sleep disturbances, a warm mug of lemon balm tea makes the perfect evening ritual. Sipping it an hour before bed helps signal to your body that it is time to unwind, paving the way for more restorative rest.

So if your smartphone sometimes makes you feel dumb, I would suggest a different interpretation. Maybe your brain is not failing at all. Maybe your brain is doing exactly what it was designed to do, which is look for coherence, meaning, and practical logic in an environment that often provides none of the above.

At this time of year, there's always an abundant supply of pumpkins, squashes and fall harvest. I found a way to incorporate all of it together after trying a fruity soup that wasn't savoury enough. After playing around with the flavours, this recipe is the one that everyone loved. Its complex flavour has all the elements of a crisp, fall day. It's a creamy soup that's healthy, full of fruits and vegetables and there's no cream in sight. Enjoy!

I have been exploring the many ways human beings receive information beyond the five commonly recognized senses.

It is subtle, intimate, and often easiest to recognize after the moment has already happened.
