A compassionate, mindful way of life.
Happy August, my friends! I hope this past month was good to you ❤️ and that this post finds you with a happy heart. July was exceptionally hot here, and wildfire season got an earlier start than usual…BUT we managed to get outside every day and enjoy mostly blue skies. Josh and I celebrated our…

I’ve got a brief, early edition of my favorites for you since we’re heading out of town tomorrow…

I was so overwhelmed with gratitude when so many of you made my Iced Tahini Mocha a few months ago, so I’m excited to share another coffee recipe with you. Last summer, I got hooked on drinking homemade iced lattes – more specifically, ones…
Read MoreLast year, I discovered this amazing line of turmeric teas by Numi Organic Tea. They’re one of the few tea companies out there who don’t use bleached tea bags or “natural” flavors – They’re always organic, non-GMO, fair trade and they use REAL fruits, flowers and spices. We’ve been buying this brand from Natural Grocers, but I know you…
