While I was making a batch of gingerbread soap back in September 2024 my two year old at the time managed to enter the room at the worst possible moment. In just a few seconds while my back was turned he ingested sodium hydroxide (lye) the key ingredient in soap making. It was a terrifying accident Jasper was airlifted for urgent medical care In Winnipeg and treated for second degree burns both internally in his mouth and externally.

Eclipse seasons occur approximately every six months, during which the Sun, Moon, and Earth align to produce eclipses. In a calendar year, there are always at least two solar eclipses, with a maximum of five, though five in one year is rare. Lunar eclipses occur between zero and three times annually. The maximum number of eclipses—both solar and lunar—that can occur in a single year is seven.
The moon holds a quiet kind of power one that moves the tides and gently stirs something within us. After all, we're made of around 60% water, and just like the ocean responds to the moon, many believe we do too. As the moon shifts through its phases, it invites us to notice the natural rhythms in our own lives. Change, release, renewal these aren't just cosmic ideas, they're part of who we are. The moon speaks a language of cycles, and when we slow down to listen, it offers guidance through moments of rest, reflection, and rebirth.
