Back to Blogging

This post is the beginning of a series about the mustard seed. I haven't published any new blog posts in quite a while mostly due to just being caught up in the every day things that seem to make time fly by. Before you know it it's been more than year. I am sure that some time has gone by with me just procrasinating and I guess you could call it writer's block. I have been struggling with finding the perfect topic to create a blog post that is something to mark my return to my blog. I can't really say that Mustard fills that need but considering my blog content and style I figure Mustard just might be a great subject to make a come back post.

I have always had an interest in herbs and their benefits as well as all the alternative methods such as aromatherapy and of course one of my favorites is the ancient mythology behind herbs. Mustard or the Mustard seed falls into all of those categories with so many uses that I have decided to make a great come back with a series blog post which is something new to my blog but I have faith in it being a very good decision. I have a personal connection to the power of Mustard as it has on so many occasions relieved severe leg cramps that my husband experiences. More on that in the final chapter of this series so please join me in discovering the amazing Mustard seed.
