What a great weekend!!

I am feeling more and more like my biorhythms are getting back into their perfect working order. My mind is getting clearer and more focused. I am feeling more centered and peaceful. I feel amazing. It is so wonderful to be able to listen to my body and give it exactly what it needs. I think that in today's society, we have this inborn tendency to neglect ourselves--therefore our health suffers and deteriorates. I feel like I have accomplished a great deal by being able to find time to allow myself to be nurtured. Sometimes it feels like I don't have time for anything; but the truth is that we will NEVER HAVE time for anything...we have to MAKE it first. I am finding more and more ways to make time for myself, and in turn, I have been able to get so much more accomplished. I feel more wholesome, less tired, relaxed, calm, tranquil, and content.

This morning, I woke up around 6 am, drank some wonderful herbal tea, did a little yoga practice, cleaned my hamster, Theo's cage, made myself some Millet with almond milk, strawberries, walnuts, honey, and cinnamon. It was delicious! :) For lunch I ate a salad. There was a green that I put in it that I feel would be much better in cooked things. It was kind of spicy.

Tash knows how to play the guitar, so we sang a couple of hymns from SHZ - it was such a refreshing feeling. I was upset because my voice was feeling unstable on all of the high notes, and I used to not have any problems like that. It's just because I haven't been singing as much as I used to I think, and getting older could have something to do with it. Tash is going to let me borrow her vocal exercise cd so that I can possibly fix my crackly high note mess. HAHA! Maybe I can get her to help me learn the guitar. I have one, I just have never been able to be consistent with learning, so I forget. It was interesting though, because we were talking about instruments -- she said she could see me playing the violin. This is interesting, because that's the instrument that I have always wanted to play, I just never had the opportunity. I'd love to learn that one day as well.

Last night, Tash, Angy and I were baking and cooking all day; healthy of course! Tash made brownies with coconut oil and honey, walnuts, and some other stuff. I made dark chocolate candies out of a 100% cocoa bar, honey, walnuts, and dried cranberries. Those are AMAZZZING! So are the brownies!
We also made soups, beans, rice, quinoa, and a few other things. I love eating this way. It's so colorful and makes me feel fantastic!

I've got a lot of plans heading my way and I am so excited to share everything as it comes.

Best week to everyone!!
