Curing What Ails
I was invited to write a guest post for my friend Joanna McGowan's blog, Holistically Whole. Naturally, I chose a hook you'd expect to find on a site dedicated to healing through clean, healthy living: Yodeling.
What do most of us want when we wake up feeling nauseous? A parent’s cool hand if we’re little. Enough peace and quiet that we can turn over, bury ourselves in covers, and wait for the end of the world. Or a nearby toilet bowl, if things get desperate.
If you live in our house, and you drag yourself downstairs to announce how lousy you feel, and then stumble into the hallway bathroom to be sick, you get the caring ministrations of your older sister with autism. Which in this case means you are tossing your cookies in the bathroom while your sister makes the following announcement outside the door:“I’m gonna yodel at you, M Slice!”
