It’s about personally discovering what feeds you, what nourishes

It’s about personally discovering what feeds you, what nourishes

you and ultimately what makes your life extraordinary.

I saw this sentence in a book that I’m reading. It really is a very good question...Isn’t it? I find that I am feeding myself a lot of new things lately, not food though. I am really searching my soul for answers to education questions and career and family and joy and living life to its fullest. I feel like I have worried way too much this past year about things and there was no need to do that. It just deteriorated my health.

 It is…. what it is; just keep going and doing you’re very best. Not what if, but what NOW!

Starting with yourself, sit quietly for a few moments and listen to the stillness….don’t be afraid of the sound of nothing…let it nourish your soul. Listen to the sounds outside, take a walk, and see the sights of the autumn emerging around you. What is it that is occurring in your life …Notice any discomfort that arises when you are not free to speak… Delight in it. Breath through it, it is your sweet, safe genuine sanctuary in time.

Another Loss to Stop For

~ by Jill Bialosky

Against such cold and mercurial mornings,
watch the wind whirl one leaf
across the landscape,
then, in a breath, let it go.
The color in the opaque sky
seems almost not to exist.

Put on a wool sweater.
Wander in the leaves,
underneath healthy elms.
Hold your child in your arms.

After the dishes are washed,
a kiss still warm at your neck,
put down your pen. Turn out the light.

I know how difficult it is,
always balancing and weighing,
it takes years and many transformations;
and always another loss to stop for,
to send you backwards.

Why do you worry so,
when none of us is spared?

 

 

Here is a  new recipe to try...

 

 

Ch,ch,chia Berry Breakfast

2 tbsp white chia seeds

1 cup almond or other nut milk

1/4 cup raspberries, or any berry

1 whole strawberry

1 tbsp sliced almonds

1/4 tsp cinnamon

Sweetener of choice

In a bowl combine chia seeds with almond milk stir and let sit for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid clumping.

Once chia seeds have thickened add remaining ingredients.

You may want to add sweetener or spices, cacao powder, dried fruits, seeds, or nuts. Get creative with your CHI-a!

Divinely yours,
