Easy, Healthy, cold weather meal under $30, in less than 2 hours. A perfect Sunday prayer.
I Don’t cook meat that often except in stews and soups, but I wanted to try my hand at roasting half of a Turkey breast. Ingredients either from Trader Joe’s for quality raising/growing, and the last of the garden herbs and such.
Butter the roasting pan lightly and mix cut sweet potatoes, carrots, mushrooms in a bowl with sage, rosemary, Himalayan salt and olive oil.
Place Turkey in the middle and veggies surround. Add 1/2 cup broth to bottom to moisten everything during the roast. Salt the Turkey. More herbs.
I cooked this for 1.5 hours at 400. Turkey to 165.
About 5 minutes before Turkey was done I scooped out the veg and added greens into the forming gravy.
For those last 5 minutes of oven time to cook down the greens, I separated out and mashed the sweet potatoes with more herbs, A bit of butter and oat milk. Black pepper!
Took pan out of oven, let Turkey rest, while I added the greens to the veg, added oat milk, butter, lots of black pepper and spices to the pan droppings, and whisked it up over the heat of the stove (as Ive watched my Dad do, so many times!) ♥️ the herbs are so medicinal to me and black pepper always makes my gut feel happy and well digested!! Ghee may be better than butter, but it’s what I had.
cleaned up a bit as it all came together.

Prices are UP. So is the stress for many-and so-maybe the need to find comfort in outside things (like food). So shopping at stores that offer humane and organic options at a lower cost, and heart-fully cooking food that feels nourishing to my emotional body (like sweet potatoes and other roots!) is a good combo.

May all beings be nourished. May all beings live from their heart. May all beings make choices that benefit all other sentient beings and our shared evolution. Blessed be.

Fall time. I engage my Ayurvedic lifestyle. Make stew. Watch the leaves. LOTS of growth for me right now. I trade movement experiences with fellow practitioners (photos of back-bodies-the two of me ARE different!)…it’s wonderful to have nuanced, super skilled and open minded body-folk to learn and reset with! Working behind the scenes on 2 other practitioner collaborations. Fulfillment. Detachment from circumstances is BIG WORK. I think I’m doing okay. How about you? Anchoring in heart and doing my best to remain with Spirit. It’s pivotal, inner work. Trying to lighten up! lol! Fall walks with rox. Consciously doing everything slowly for nervous system health. Garden feels like too much to attend to at present-it’s a lot to run a sec, body, business, home! so I’m allowing rest and hot teas and baths and tears. Diving deeper into Shusta with a new spread that takes a lot of study and skill and consciousness to begin to attempt; the Tree of life reading. Im sure I’ll sit with it for weeks!
I’m ever so grateful for God. To be with God in a body-even if my nervous system doesn’t always register it yet. It’s exciting, deep down, to be experiencing that evolution of consciousness. We have so much. We have everything, in this moment. Breathe with me. Meditation is all, really. We are OKAY. Thank you Buddha and Jesus and Paramahansa and Chogyum and Shirley and Alok and Pema and all the somatic folk and trauma folk and artists and q***r folk and anyone bringing the innovative and brave NEW. sooooo many amazing lights that guide us home. Happy full moon.

Does death have to be painful, or scary?
Maybe it is, very naturally, as a function of the form that is itself, dying. But die often enough, and we know, that death only happens in, and is held by, LIGHT.
And so then, we (as consciousness) have choice in Focus; will I BE the thing that is dying? Or will I BE the Light that is holding, and outgrowing it, Now? Subtle, profound, necessary uses of personal power, in ecstatic moments…

In involutionary phases of Life, consciousness’ nature is to relinquish its identification with form.

if someone around you, or if emotions within you, are struggling, it may be that death (of some form) is actively happening-in some subtle or profound way. It is not easy to die, and we all do it pretty frequently, actually.
Bringing Light to suffering is a way of being a Doula for life‘s continuation, for life‘s Divine plan. For self, for other, for Life Itself.

It’s a gym, and a restoration center, and an education center, and a community center for support and growth… OK, it’s actually all of these things, and more! Check out Strongoo in Geneva for a new way to care for body; with community! You can purchase a monthly membership, drop in, or even add a supplemental recovery membership if you already have a gym membership elsewhere! Plus, community support, cozy couches, Wi-Fi access, community talks, rucks by the river… This is innovative space for body, where restoration, education and community get as much airtime as strength, Where breath infuses movement, and meditation begins to become a cornerstone of healthy body.

Thank you, Joe for your generous innovation, and your pure heart!
