Embrace an Attitude of Gratitude

“You cannot stay away from yourself forever, 

you have to return, have to come to that experiment, 

to know whether you really can love.

That is the question—whether you can love yourself,

Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

This soup is a warming and deeply nourishing dish that aligns beautifully with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Butternut squash, sweet and grounding in nature, is known to tonify spleen qi, support digestion, and promote stable energy levels. Its natural sweetness also helps harmonize the stomach and calm the spirit. Coconut milk adds a moistening quality that nourishes yin and helps counteract dryness, particularly beneficial during the fall and winter seasons. The gentle warmth of cumin and smoked paprika enhances digestion, invigorates qi circulation, and provides a subtle warming effect that balances the cooling nature of squash and coconut milk. Together, these ingredients create a soothing, easy-to-digest soup that supports overall harmony and vitality, making it ideal for colder weather or when the body needs grounding and nourishment.  continue reading »
