I Really Like So Much About This Photo. The Rain, The Tones, The Composition. And The Old Cars.

When the path you walk always leads back to yourself, you never get anywhere.

A Box of Rocks

Working a little New Year's prosperity magic....

A splash of color. Old bathroom tiles uncovered by rains on the dirt driveway of the family's house in the country.

Doing tie dye for Christmas... (at My driveway.)

Your parents' house smells...

Today my stepdaughter said she was talking to a friend of hers when this friend told her, "Your parents' house smells like a witch's house." We use a lot of various essential oils around our house, and we make our own kombucha tea and water kefir. We don't use any synthetic scents in any of our washing or personal grooming or cleaning supplies. I don't know how much experience this friend has with witches' dwellings, but she clearly has an idea of what she thinks they SHOULD smell like. And apparently, it's us. And, you know, I'm okay with that.

She's got legs...

Wanting

It's an important life lesson to learn to distinguish between what you think you *should* want and what you actually *do* want.  If you don't, you may end up becoming a doctor when what you really want is to become a dancer.  Or vice versa.

"Bulletproof" green tea.

1 tsp. matcha green tea powder

8 oz hot water (I use water that's just under boiling.)

2 tbs real butter (I use Kerrygold grass-fed butter.) OR 2 tsp ghee

1.5 tbs MCT oil (Like fractionated coconut oil or palm kernel oil.)

Place all ingredients into a blender (I use a Vitamix, but any blender will do.)  Blend until a foam appears at top and all ingredients are smoothly mixed.  (Takes about 15 to 20 seconds for me.)  Pour into your favorite cup or mug.  Enjoy hot!  *Note:  Add no sweetener or milk; drink it just as it is.
