The bright green color and refreshing scents of each herb add a cheerful, clean feeling to the kitchen as well as the heart and mind.

There are dozens of herbs to choose from.  They can be used separately, but it’s fun to experiment and combine them in different recipes, too. I chose the following herbs not only for their contribution to daily cooking, but also for their support of my emotional well-being.

Thyme for courage and confidence

Marjoram for joy and happiness

Rosemary for remembrance

Basil for love and good wishes

Sage for wisdom and long life

Boy, nature surely seems to provide everything we need to live well and happy. Revitalizing body, mind and spirit with these gifts from nature…now that feels like a wise thing to do!
