I remember chatting with you on Twitter a little while ago about those delicious concoctions you were making up in your kitchen. It's so cool to read they're now a product line that'll soon be available for sale here! Yay you for bringing yummy cremes with no long list of tongue-twisting ingredients in this world, and yay for you biggifying! :)

Ah... it's stuff like this, as well as the kick-ass massage I got yesterday, with some heavenly citrus-y pick-me-up scents, that make me wish my own modality used this sort of thing.

I may have to consider how I can work it on. And then I am SO calling you!

PS: aardvark: an animal with too many 'a's in its name

PPS: You may enjoy 'meeting' my kick-ass massage giver.. perhaps on Facebook. She happened to write a lovely little poem today about darkness and anger.

your post had me smiling - and also wondering if you'll have your ardvaark (that'd be my first guess..without doing a spellcheck) supplies for sale through your site..or will Cambridge Naturals do thru-the-mail sales??

Totally LOVE this sentence " Aardvark Essentials: Lotions and Potions for mixed up emotions " what a product line name!!

"Aardvark," but someone who remembers the content of the post but not the words might search for "anteater." :)

Wow, Heidi, this is so awesome. I seriously love you. Also, I've just been over to read the Johnny Depp post, and you have the best dreams. And the best spirit guides. Why do I never have dreams like that?

You r0x0r. That is all.

I was blog-hopping and found this. Love the story! So fun to read. If I lived in Boston, I would be there in a heartbeat.

Re. aardvark - I'd spell it right. But if I didn't know it, I'd say

ardvark

I'm guessing the two a-s are not a first (or second) guess. :)

I love that it moved you, Tatty! And that it's inspiring you to badassery. By the way, I'm doing a Tribal belly dance class taught by my friend Cecile Carr (http://ombellyco.com). She's one of my FB friends, by the way. I wish the two of you to meet! Belly dancing is one of my little badasseries. It might not be to everyone, but it is from whence I come ;)

This is so wonderful, dear Heidi, so so wonderful.... I printed a copy and will carry with me everywhere, for inspiration, as a reminder that I can always up the badassness :)

Heidi Fischbach comments on T.S. Eliot helps this Mexican jumping bean get to essential.

OK, everybody? The above-quoted verses are but a passage from The Four Quartets. So if you loved them, you must--no, you MUST--get thyselves a copy of that little book. I'm telling you: the man did not win a Nobel prize for nothing. And Four Quartets is sheer brilliance. Pretty much the whole book is chockfull of lines like the above that I quoted. Just sayin', um, GET IT!

Michelle, I suspect you and I are not alone in that craving for essential communication, without angles and agendas... Maybe this oversaturation of slogans and propaganda and blahblahblah is simply needed to bring us back to a balance. But oh, essential... ahhhhh.

Big loves--

Oh, Heidi, the deliciousness! I'm catching up on my favorite blogs, and how right you are about the waiting. How perfectly fitting for where I am now. On the outside, things are moving and shaking, but internally I'm hanging in this void where my inevitable new direction is uncertain. And I *abhor* not being able to achieve closure. So your and Mr. Eliot's reminders couldn't be better timed. :)

What struck me the most in what you wrote is this:
"I am drawn to things that speak the language of essence. In a time of endless slogans and causes, and preachy propaganda (no matter the side) telling me what’s wrong with me and how its answer will be my sure salvation, I crave expression that is pared of excess, justification, and excuse."

Oh, YES. I'm looking for that, too.

And that poem! I agree with Bridget above--how did I go for so long without knowing of it? Thank you, thank you!
