Why I’m Shifting This Weblog to Steeped Tales and Increasing My Content material—And Why You’ll Need to Subscribe.
Folks can’t perceive the world as a present until somebody exhibits them the way it’s a present.

Spring ushers in a change the place every part appears new and recent unexpectedly. However in actuality, the deep work has been happening quietly all winter lengthy. Nature is a present, and Spring reveals this in abundance. I’ve at all times thought the brand new 12 months ought to start in Spring, not January. It feels extra pure.
With the Spring refresh, I, too, am starting anew with some modifications to my e-newsletter. I hope you don’t thoughts, however I’ve moved all my subscribers right here, together with those that subscribed to my earlier e-newsletter. If you happen to subscribed to my Life Is Higher With Tea e-newsletter, you at the moment are formally right here and subscribed to Steeped Tales.
Let me clarify.
The publishing world is continually altering and rearranging to seek out what works finest for readers and writers. So, I’m altering how I ship all my work to you whereas enhancing the method.
The charges for operating a weblog and separate e-newsletter service now not make financial sense. My weblog and e-newsletter have been at all times supplied to my readers freed from cost, however in fact, nothing is free.
The publishing prices have been supported by advertisers, sponsors, and associates, which is the everyday publishing mannequin. (To not point out, some sellers have used my freely revealed academic work of their promoting with out permission, proper right down to my headline – not cool.)
Over the previous 15 years, I’ve produced, researched, and written about tea. I’m fascinated by this little leaf of nature that offers us a lot pleasure and sustenance. I nonetheless want to share all of this with you and extra.
Past the Camellia sinensis tea plant, a complete world of herbs has supplied medicinal advantages for 1000’s of years. We steep them into lovely teas and concoctions. I’ll proceed researching and writing about this on my new platform. Crops should not various drugs; they’re the unique drugs.
For hundreds of years, cultures worldwide have understood what trendy science proves – vegetation are therapeutic. Their historical knowledge has laid the groundwork for a lot of trendy medical developments. Indigenous peoples launched important medical vegetation like echinacea, and their holistic approaches have formed ideas of well-being.
Crops know easy methods to make meals and drugs from mild and water, after which they provide it away.

Research present that almost all readers favor an ad-free expertise, and writers favor to be paid for his or her work, in fact. (Did we actually want research for that?) For the solo writer, a subscription e-newsletter is the right resolution. A few of my newsletters will stay free, however the recipes and in-depth researched articles with sources cited at the moment are premium.
I’ll now not add new content material to the Life Is Higher With Tea weblog and its accompanying e-newsletter, Steeped. The weblog will stay seen, and all the present articles will probably be up to date as wanted.
All new subjects and recipes will probably be posted in Steeped Tales. I thought of posting on the 2 separate websites, however sustaining each would divide my focus and confuse the reader.
Now I can offer you ad-free studying. Isn’t that refreshing?
I’ll proceed researching and writing about nature’s therapeutic presents in all their kinds, together with tea and herbs. If you recognize me, you recognize that, as a nurse, I’ll educate you about life that may enhance wellness—as a result of these are issues we are able to management.
Human beings have an innate reference to the pure world. Analysis research have linked nature to symptom reduction for a lot of well being points like coronary heart illness, despair, most cancers, anxiousness, and a spotlight issues.
Look deep into nature, after which you’ll perceive every part higher.
