Aha, but then things go really off kilter when I neglect to carve out my sacred space time, not organizing my day, doing one too many things and feeling that my patience has been stretched from all the above. I've lost my shoes 3 times this week... anyone in the same boat?!

When this happens, I automatically reach for one of my saving grace herbs:Holy Basil orTulsi.  The botanical name for Tulsi isOcimum Sanctum orGratissimum. Just typing that name, “Sanctum” or “Gratissimum” makes the peace that I've been craving start to wash over me.
