Belgariad & Beyond

Garion learns a stunning secret about Aunt Pol and his grandfather, and the dark figure once again appears to him on the fringes.

Where Sondra’s getting into Ancient Herbs for Modern Illnesses, Alysia’s beating herself up for not being perfect, and they’re both contemplating the vastness of a sorceress’s perspective.

Random fact: Coffee can deplete us of nutrients. Heavy coffee consumption can cause a deficiency in B vitamins, and specifically B1, thiamine. This can make us feel fatigued, nervous and achy, and not provide any headache relief. Furthermore, when we regularly consumed coffee it can prevent nutrients from being absorbed efficiently in our small intestines, which can further contribute to nutritional deficiencies. If you still insist on drinking coffee, always drink organic coffee! Don’t pollute your body with all those poisonous chemicals that are rampant in coffee crops.

Where Sondra’s got way too many browser windows active and is worried one more click will break the whole show, Alysia’s daughter is a spirited child (AKA extroverted mini-Alysia), and they’re both enormously grateful for everything this show has shown them about themselves.
