Sweet and Tangy Beet Green Slaw Recipe
Beets from a local organic farm often come with beautiful epi-nutrient-rich greens still attached. Great care is taken to use the whole plant, as the greens are packed with folate, the most vital nutrient in genetic expression and DNA replication and repair.

Hope in the Time of Overwhelm
Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.

Greetings to all my precious people!!
My mini summer sabbatical is underway and it seems I am not well practiced in the “being mode” versus “doing mode”. Despite having a daily practice of meditation and qigong, there is still evidence of ‘busy-ness’ that feels hardwired in my brain. It is a very humbling reckoning!!
