A compassionate, mindful way of life.

The idea sounded really good in my head and I felt pretty excited about sitting down to type out a weekly post that wasn’t necessarily related to food, recipes, products, or the usual suspects.

Read MoreOn the night you were born, the moon smiled with such wonder that the stars peeked in to see you and the night wind whispered, “Life will never be the same.” Because there had never been anyone like you… ever in the world. {{On the Night You Were Born by Nancy Tillman}} These last few…
Read MoreHello, friends! Let me first preface this post by saying this is purely my opinion and not everyone is going to agree with what I’ve written here.
