A Life Well Lived

I often put myself in my adult kids’ shoes, who are experiencing similar situations to when I was in my 20’s, and thinking, “How can one make a living, still enjoy their abode, stay creative, and feel like life has a quality feeling, all while still being able to pay bills?” In my first decadeContinue reading “A Life Well Lived”

Moss Hair Priorities

Work: “Can you come in early today?”Me: “Uhhhhh … no. Prior engagement,” as I assist my forest friend who’s decided to try out a new moss hair-do. 😀 There are priorities in life. The inner child’s happiness comes first, then the adulting. Otherwise, the brain goes through the day fighting with inner tantrums, yelling, andContinue reading “Moss Hair Priorities”

Tabbouleh!

🌿”Rejoice in the green fire of life!”🌿 Fiona MacLeod Yes, indeed! As the wheel of the year turns we finally seemed to have arrived at (a late) spring.

Back in the day I’dContinue reading “🥭 Mango Dreams 🥭”

After scanning the contents page I was duly impressed! This book is quite the tome of all things essential oil. In 683 pages Valerie hasContinue reading “📚 Like: The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy”

Dreamy Pink Fruit Smoothie 🌸

What better way to celebrate a sunshiny day than a fruit smoothie! Especially if, like me, you bought a giant watermelon that wasn’t quite ripe! 🤪 Not wanting to waste the watermelon (tho I fed a fair amount to the horses- they were happy), I decided to throw a bunch of fruits on hand intoContinue reading “Dreamy Pink Fruit Smoothie 🌸”

Mung Bean Broth for Healing, and Dr. Miriam Lee

The dense fog/wildfire smoke of this last week has left me feeling nauseous, watery eyed, and bleh. I was thinking this morning how inviting a nice tasting broth sounded. One of my fave soups is mung bean but that sounded too heavy. I wondered how a mung bean broth would taste and what the benefitsContinue reading “Mung Bean Broth for Healing, and Dr. Miriam Lee”
