Hello again Samantha,

Good luck on your move - we have an expression here - change of location, change of luck - may this move bring you much peace and great health.


As long as you're anywhere in the States (except Alaska and Hawaii, I believe) Gary from the shop on this site can send all items to you - as I posted before you can buy in larger amounts and save quite a bit - again, making sure you have good storage conditions. Also save the time and gas from the two hour drive.(or would that be 4, going both ways?)

I was only born in Hungary, tho I go sometimes to visit family. We moved to America when I was 4, raised there, then in my early 20's went to Israel - back to America to start a family, and brought my family to Israel in 1992 and still here.

The books you have are wonderful - and can be reread many times and always more gets soaked up. As far as advice from anyone, whether from the books or articles or even the forum, consider the source - we are all just trying to struggle with our own challenges - SOMETIMES your path may be similar to someone else's, and you can gain from their experience - but I think you do have to pick and choose alot - that's why Kristina's advice to experiment and see how you feel is better than someone else saying ah, that is yang so don't do it, or any other "rules." otoh, alot of us do go through alot of similar experiences, that's why it's a pleasure to smile at Jessica Porter's experiences - we can see the folly and laugh at it, and share her struggle. I love how she makes the whole experience both serious and hilarious. Counselors are like having lots of experience condensed in one person - he/she has seen many people and many situations - and hopefully has learned from them all, and that learning can be helpful to you.

sorry, not an expert on flame diffusers - somehow I don't remember having that many choices, and not sure equipment which is not in direct contact with the food is as crucial. otoh, quality may affect how well it works or how long it lasts. also not that knowledgeable on which oils to use for cast iron, we use olive only because we have so much of it.

might be of interest to you to think about yin and yang - if moving causes you pressure (yang) then what kinds of food can balance that? always keep in mind good quality - yin can be sweets (not that great to have too much of) or lightly cooked leafy vegetables or sweet vegetables soup or drink - it takes effort at the beginning, but you know, practice is what it's all about. We practice macrobiotics.

The best of luck in your adventures.
