Getting creative today with a pretty pic of pretty amazing morning juice. The flower pots are from Saturday evening’s dinner party (get us!), made by our teen. Juice is: apples from the garden, carrots, celery, turmeric, ginger, filtered water and a handful of spinach to boot (yes, I do make it up as I go along, almost 4 years down the road of this new way of feeding my body and I’m happy to mix up my own now.)
There are loads of recipes on the site if you’re just getting started.
Part of ‘The Glue In My Life.’ This lady’s working through her own challenges, as this pic from a previous blog of ours shows, encouraging others with her beautiful words as she goes. When she shared her words this morning, they touched me. I hope they ‘touch’ you too. Unsurprisingly they won her a Bronze Award for International Friendship Day. Dedicated to the glue that has held me together for the past 18 months and continues to do so… Thank you.
The Glue In My Life
Hands across the water
Tapping on keyboards
Sharing news and views
Like you are there.
Or the ones that
are near and like to lunch
Or the ones that invite you to dinner
and you stay for brunch.
The ones you talk to in foreign tongues.
The ones who you travel with around the Earth.
The ones who you cried with
The ones who you tried with
My friends, so lovely, different from each other.
In love, in life, with all its strife.
Not family by birth
But the glue in my life.

James Clear‘s bestseller is new to the site this week and it’s currently proving to be hard work.
Not because it’s a difficult to understand book, but it’s a difficult to put into practice book. I shouldn’t be surprised, after all, isn’t that what habits are? Good/bad and the many unrecognised ones that are ingrained into our psyche.
Looking forward to when it becomes ‘easy’ as the cover says. I’ll get there. Wanting those ‘remarkable results’.
For now, it’s making a whole lot of sense.
Watch this space!
We also welcomed Dr Izabella Wentz, aka The Thyroid Pharmacist to the site:
Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s at age 27 she has since put her thyroid condition into remission and is living her best life.
Now she wants to share everything she’s learned, so that true healing becomes possible, for everyone.
Wouldn’t that be ‘the thing’?
Delighted with my stash from the newest business to arrive in our village – A young couple who are supplying organic fruit, vegetables, herbs and plants. Result!
They are selling direct to the villagers on Friday evenings. Supper was fab: the green peppers pan-fried in coconut oil with lots of sea salt. Then green beans, yellow courgettes/zucchini (with organic salmon for hubby) and toasted sunflower seeds.
Enjoyed the lettuce this lunchtime with bruschetta made from the tomatoes and the basil (skin removed from the toms, basil shredded, my fave olive oil added, along with lots of salt and pepper.)
The cucumbers are so sweet in our morning juice too. All gone, until next Friday.
