I cannot help wondering how life would be if I start to listen to my body on a regular basis – perhaps asking it every day “What do you need today, in this moment? How can I take good care of you?”

The whole experience has been so deeply insightful and healing that I can actually feel grateful for losing a tooth! Deep gratitude to the tooth that sacrificed itself to enable me to experience this healing. Gratitude to my spiritual practices that help and support me to accept what is, learn and heal from how life is unfolding. Deeply grateful to all the people who supported me in this healing process.

I do not like drinking milk so I could never enjoy Hot Chocolate. But I love chocolate, so the attraction has persisted. Last year I discovered turmeric Latte made with almond milk. It felt as if I was in heaven when I would have the time to make it with my own hands and savour drinking the cuppa.
With time, the attraction to Turmeric Latte waned. I know it sounds fickle. But wait for it, I was meant to go on to discover something even more delicious – Spiced Hot Chocolate. I tried Almond milk version of Hot chocolate. I loved it but missed the spices.
I decided to not listen to the strict inner voice telling me to keep the two drinks separate and pure. I tried adding raw cacao nibs to the turmeric latte recipe and loved the combination. To me it tastes divine. Last winter I felt that turmeric latte was my hot drink of the season. This year my vote goes to Spiced Hot Chocolate. You can try either of the two recipes, both are winners.

In that moment I remembered a similar experience where being in nature, with Mother Earth, had helped me remember what I seemed to have forgotten.

It is not easy to feel beautiful in today’s world. All the subliminal messages we receive from the fashion industry and the media do not help. One of the messages being that we need to buy lots of beauty products to look beautiful. Truth is that beauty does not need to cost much. I have been using food products from the kitchen for my beauty routine, for many years now. I feel much more comfortable using food that I am willing to put inside my body, on my skin, rather than using a shop bought product from a jar.

Spring has arrived. Nature is providing what we need to detox our body at this time of year.
It does not have to be expensive to detox. This may sound a bit crazy, but edible weeds can help. I do not even have to go far, I forage in my garden. I like the idea of eating weeds and hope to grow resilient like them. I also like the idea of making use of what grows effortlessly and is actually considered useless. It truly feels like a gift from Mother Earth.
I made a smoothie this morning with some edible weeds …
