Welcome to Northern Maine Apothecary

May 11, 2024

Upon retiring on March 22nd, of this year, (early) from a VERY stressful career, I was pondering my next steps. What are the things I enjoy doing that I haven't done in quite some time due to working? Also, what interested me anymore? I haven't had time to focus on me in a long time. So, this is my ongoing story in that constant path. Follow along with me.

I love reading, writing, puzzles and Legos....and so many more other things. But I also love creating and trying new things. I don't consider myself a very creative person; however, I keep plugging away at trying. After much thought, I decided to start an apothecary, mostly for personal and family use. Scott and I are on some medications for issues that have become quite costly since I lost my health insurance and we have some family members who have some issues that they are dealing with that I want to be able to help them overcome.

So, anyone who knows me knows that the VERY first thing I do when I want to learn about something is to invest in some books and read up on it (not that I need a reason to buy books). So, I purchased many books and ordered a bunch of seeds to grow. AND, I started learning and haven't stopped yet.

Scott offered to build me an apothecary cabinet. He is so talented and I will share those pictures on my next post.

Thank you for following my journey.
