While our journey's may be very different, the underlying truth of our Shared Human Experience remains the same.
Perhaps sharing the epiphanies and realizations of my journey also inspire you to realize that underneath it all we are all the same.
Back in late January when I was contemplating getting a 13.25 inch Lodge cast skillet, it was one that d. a. Niel's had previously ordered to bring in for stock... but it never arrived. They did have a 12 inch that had arrived, and looking at it made me realize that really was the biggest I could hope to use on my stove top anyway. Only issue was, they didn't have a lid for it.
Three days into batch three (Mar 19th), my kefir was bubbling like crazy, and I could already tell the grains were still growing. What I obviously needed to learn quickly was how to only make as many batches as we could drink; which would also mean figuring out how to keep/store the grains that I didn't need to use for fermenting.
Attended my second FSS (Foundation for Shaman Studies) workshop this weekend; sponsored by Divine Clarity. I was so excited after my first workshop that I could hardly wait for the next one offered.
Four days in (having a nice sharp taste, just before vinegary) and I'm just noticing that the kefir grains have tripled! The grains are definitely happy, healthy, and multiplying. I think they agreed with me on switching maple syrup for cane sugar.
Five days of fermenting on the counter has lead to a rather vinegary batch. I must admit that I've left it out too long for my taste.
Two days in and I can already see that my first batch is more active (more bubbly) than the starter batch I was given. In fact, it almost looks like they've grown too.

Keep love in your heart.
A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
Oscar Wilde, 1854-1900
