From Me To We

11 January 2022|Health, Nutrition, Recipes, Sustainability

I’ve uttered the words ‘Rise Above’ many times in the past two years as judgement, disagreement, conflict, discord, disunity have abounded.  What if we could put aside our differences and Rise Up?

If it doesn’t benefit everybody then is it really success?  What is your purpose?  What is success?  Big questions and some big names feature in this uplifting film:  Prince EA, Moby, Dalai Lama, Richard Branson, Tony Robbins.

Who doesn’t need some encouragement right now?


3 lit candles, towels, orchids and stones

Got a bit carried away and ordered rather a lot of Epsom Salts this weekend (I ‘saved’ so much, you know how it goes…).  Girlfriends, guess what your birthday gifts will be for the next while?

Beginning with our Contributor Jue this weekend: Happy Birthday and thank you for all the work you have put in to our site.

Hope you enjoy the soothing properties of several baths, full of magnesium to soothe your skin, relieve sore muscles, reduce stress and eliminate toxins.  


Apricot, squash and chickpea tagine

I give you – An apricot, squash and chickpea tagine, courtesy of The Doctors Kitchen.  It was perfect for the cold, rainy days we had this week.

I know lots of people are trying Veganuary and there are many delicious, easy recipes on Dr Aujla’s site.

Vegan Richa has ’65 easy vegan recipes for beginners’ on her site too.  She has a new Instant Pot cookbook out in May, her third recipe book.  We love her food, always flavourful and uncomplicated.

He’s right – Find your tribe, we all need one…
