About Thyme

Two years ago I did not know that I would be building an Herb Shop, much less a Tea Room.  I was just enjoying life while living in my motorhome on my land, after having spent many of my retirement years traveling across the country with my hairless cat, Nandi.  I even attended school to earn a diploma as a Master Herbalist without any plans to do anything with it.  During all that time, I kept a blog to share my pictures and my life adventures with friends and family.  I continued that blog up to a year ago, where I posted pictures of the construction of my home and shop and of Aussie, the beautiful dog I got from the animal shelter.  After helping a friend start up her health blog, I became motivated to start one of my own, a blog called Thyme for Health.  That was the start of this wondrous and meaningful adventure.  Not only did it draw quite a following from all around the world, it also attracted the attention of the locals.  Before I knew it, I was speaking to groups about something that I am very passionate about - health, herbs, and living naturally.  I decided to go back to school for a Certificate in Holistic Nutrition Consulting. This eventually led to creating a means to facilitate teaching the what, why and how of natural living - the Thyme Wisper Herb Shop & Tea Room.  Workshops facilitate the teaching, the Herb Shop provides the materials and the Tea Room, being vegan, gluten free, and mostly organic and local, provides an example. 

Perhaps I, myself, provide a living example to natural living as someone in her 60s who is healthy with no need for any pharmaceuticals or OTCs (Over the Counter).  I was not always this healthy.  In my 40s I was taking arthritis medication - a kind that eventually was taken off the market.  For years I took Zyrtec (when it was a prescription drug) and Nasonex for my allergies.  I even carried an EpiPen for my severe allergy to corn.  And a year ago I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, of which I was able to cure in six months strictly by diet alone. 

Through diet, herbs and lifestyle I manage my arthritis and allergies,  I believe to be healthy, I must live healthy.

Welcome to my world.  Being Healthy is Living Healthy.
