Reader Stories: My Kitchen is a Healing Place

About Me 

I left nursing after my parents died. I have worked at the university for 7.5 years at student jobs for free tuition. I bought a house for me and my honey, but he is stuck in China where he was born and raised. I have a garden, and 4 kitties for great company:)

My Healing Kitchen 

My kitchen could use more organization, but I work 7 days a week and take one course per semester. However, I have a 10 gallon goldfish tank sitting on my counter by the south window, potted herbs that I brought in when the temp dropped to 50 degrees F at night and "air purifying" plants such as peace plant, pothos, and others sitting along the southeast window sill. A tomato plant came along also, thanks to the squirrel who planted it. I also have long tube florescent lights for additional light on cloudy days.
