mindfully. 

Right now health, home, and healing are my  focus. 

Really on a basic scale, my  health is challenging me and accpting and loving my illness is not coming easily. 

So before I even open my eyes I start  the day with a very conscious breath,, breathing in I breath in all that we all share and breathing out, I offer all the love and patience I have and and then do it again, :)

Because my body no longer works the way it used to, I am adapting slowly but surly(sic) and like to think of the Goddes Bridgit when in my home kitchen, she offers warmth to me, as well as Hera.    I have a few symbols discreetly placed in my kitchen to help remind me why I am in there, swearing, and struggling.

For me, cooking is a spiritual practice from start to finish and I am aware of where almost all the food I eat comes from with in a few miles. 

Today I have a pot of potato soup simmering, the broth made from the roasted veggies from my little garden and dried mushrooms from a friends, all lovenly tended. It is not vegan today, I am going with the butter and cream, I have to gain weight, the goddess Hera told me so.  :)

Boys are off with their dad searching for yule  tide  things.

I am trying to find some balance, I am accustomed to being very busy this time of year, I had no choice but to flat out stop and start over . 

Thanks ((Kali Ma)) My sister, you sure can kick butt, yet always come through.
