Remember Your Roots: This is Your Homecoming

“Focus on who you are and what you’ve built, 

not on what you’d planned on being or what you expected to have. 

Trust that the present moment however difficult, 

however different from what you’d imagined 

has something to teach you.” 

~~ Maggie Smith

Greetings to all my precious people!!

We are in the middle of January, the coldest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. This is the deep yin of Winter, when Nature shows us the ancient patterns and cycles of the Earth. It is a time of quiet, a time of repose, a season of reflection and incubation. Nature is gathering up resources, from the soil, from our dreams, from the inspiration of conversations, or music, or poetry. We are in the midst of opportunities—to shed what no longer serves us, to lean into the callings of our heart and soul.  continue reading »

Paleo Sweet Potato Parsnip Kugel Recipe

This Hanukkah-inspired recipe can be reimagined within the scope of Traditional Chinese Medicine, emphasizing balance, nourishment, and energetics of foods to support health and harmony. Hanukkah celebrates the miracle of oil lasting eight days, symbolizing enduring light and vitality.

RESTORE Your Self

“This magnificent refuge is inside you.

Enter. Shatter the darkness that shrouds the doorway…

Be bold. Be humble.

Put away the incense and forget

the incantations they taught you.

Ask no permission from the authorities.

Close your eyes and follow your breath

to the still place that leads to the

invisible path that leads you Home.”

~ St. Theresa of Avila

Greetings to all my precious people!

We are on the brink of a New Year, with all the excitement and anticipation that comes from imagining the changes we can create in the Present and Future times of Life. This is also the ‘in-between’ space—the days after the gatherings, the days before our return to the regular rhythms of work and schedules of our daily life. This place of betwixt and between can be filled with silence and solitude, with creativity, with moments of “suppose and what if” that can spark our imagination and reveal the secrets of our closely held dreams and desires. But we must take the time to sit with our own Self and allow the treasures to unfold.  continue reading »
