Journaling #9: Quote, Unquote

Do you have a favourite quote? Or maybe two or three? If so, keeping a quote journal is a great idea for you. Record quotes that you find inspirational or memorable. Perhaps it was something that you read, maybe something said by someone famous or even words from a song. If it resonates with you, write it in your quote journal. It’s as easy as that. 

If you are looking to take your quote journal to the next level, consider putting just one quote to a page and then write down your reflections about this quote. You can come back later and update your thoughts. 
If you like to doodle or draw, be creative with your entries. Artsy isn’t your thing? Try using coloured pens, highlighters or calligraphy markers to add some flair to your quote journal. 

I’m guessing that you’ll want to look back at your quote journal often. After all, these words mean something to you and as such they say something about you. They may be someone else’s words, but a favourite quote helps to express your thoughts and feelings. 

What is your favourite quote?

Did you know? Peppermint...

Did you know that peppermint is a cross between water mint and spearmint? It is just one of over 7000 varieties of mint.

Peppermint is one of my favourite herbs. I use it to make jelly for toast and I love peppermint patties.

Mint can be grown outdoors or inside. In the garden it can be invasive. In fact, I've taken to growing it in large pots that I overwinter in the garage. Inside, it requires a pot with good drainage and some sunshine.

Mint is popular in cooking. It is used to treat a myriad of health problems, such as digestive issues and headaches. It is also a natural option for repelling mice and insects. And, of course, who doesn't love peppermint candies?

Don't use peppermint if you have GERD or are taking an acid reducing medication. Peppermint may also make gallstones worse. If you are considering using peppermint for medicinal purposes, remember to check with your doctor or pharmacist about contraindications.
