Dream job? Stone mason. What’s yours?
Deep thoughts contemplated while tiling a bathroom floor.
Grounding Down
Earth
Symbolized by the hexahedron, aligned with the root chakra, and governing the universal Law of Cause & Effect, Earth situates us within the physical body.
Embodied through each individual breath, Earth beckons us to ground ourselves to terra firma, reconnecting with the natural world.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full, to talk about.
Reflections on GROUNDING DOWN
How It Began…Introductions
The convoluted journey that brought me to Thrivival.
Pumpkin Beef Chili
Where do Jack-o-Lanterns go for Dinner? Halloween came and went, leaving us sick of sweets and craving some real, hearty, stomach-warming food. Our choice of Pumpkin Beef Chili stemmed from two simultaneous predicaments: A very large pumpkin carved like a cat and an excess of ground beef.
Making Sauerkraut
Sauerkraut is delicious and extremely nutritious. This traditionally preserved "lactic acid fermented" food is full of health-promoting "good" probiotic bacteria that keeps our guts healthy. And it's sooooo easy to make!
Grain-Free Chocolate Monkey Pie
This pie is grain-free, decadent, and packed with nutrition!
Grain-free Peanut Butter Cookies
These grain-free, gluten-free cookies are easy and decadent! My family ate them before I could photograph them. But, this dough also makes a fantastic pie crust, which I did manage to capture on film.
