Anyway, I have been on the hunt for a recipie that didn't have sugar as the main ingredient for a yummy dessert but to my despair I can't find anything so I will have to create my own, my very own, smash cake. Sweetner being fruit and honey because Harper will be one and honey is safe for the kiddo, and the "smash" homemade whip cream, the trick a tantalizing vessel to hold the strawberry syrup and whip cream that the adults and the other kids will love.
When we remove ourselves from living in a place of duality I understand that eating sugar or any other "bad" food doesn't matter especially for Harper BUT I have no interest in giving her refined sugars for as long as I possibly can and with her 1 year birthday coming up I am feeling more pressure than ever to let her experience sugar for the first time in the form of cake and frosting, now convienently marketed as the "smash cake". Clever being that came up with that. My thoughts? Every day at supper Harper is making her dinner a "smash cake". there is no need to go out and buy a specially designed and marketed "smash cake".

Since cutting up my credit cards, losing that dependency and not borrowing from my future paycheck an incredible shift has taken place. I physically felt the shift last Sunday but the act on my part to drop into this place was cutting up the credit cards.
What does it mean to no longer fight for something I would've easily taken a bullet for? I am not totally sure at this moment considering this feeling is just hours old.
Ahhh... another piece that I have heard so many times and have not given the concept any energy past "yea. I do that. I have no problem receiving."
I screwed up all of my attempts to make jelly this weekend so I improvised with chia seeds for a thickening agent. In the end my recipe most closely followed this but I used 4 # of strawberries, 6 cups of sugar (which can totally be reduced but since i was attempting "real" jam first this is the point when I ran out of sugar) and added a cup of chia seeds after the simmer, let the "goo" cool on the stove and than put it in the fridge. Tastes delicious, lots of fiber, protein and yumminess!
Life is interpretation. It is no more and no less. I am connected to this truth and facing this truth's reality is humbling. It is inspiring and terrifying. On the surface it seems to degrade the meaning of life and the importance of it but in actuality it is embellishing the expansiveness of the experiences we can have when we are on this planet.
So hard to grasp a concept so far out as not having to live by any rules. To let the mind go and consider this is an amazing challenge. To live this seems impossible. AND... this is so much more than paying taxes and stopping at red lights. I am not talking organizational systems. I am speaking about rules that are indoctrinated from within my being. Rules I own because I believe I need to choose a criteria, a mission, an idea to fight for a system to live in. Rules I have set up for myself since birth, perhaps before birth. I am scared and I am liberated. I ate a white bread sandwich when I could've passed entirely or had whole wheat. So simple this seems but so challenging because I had to fight the internal dialogue and rewire mind patterns. Writing this I understand it is not gong backwards and connecting old energetic synapses but unwebbing my mind to think on a greater platform, evolving to a place of non judgement and trust of the soul, the body, the human, and the oneness.
Undefining who I am, letting go of the belief system that I currently own is necessary to expand my experiences. It is the process of opening my mind and soul to embrace and hold space for incoming souls that are rewiring the human template, evolving the human form into an energetic system that will operate from love and truth, authenticity, and embody respect for all energetic systems on this planet, in this galaxy, forward and out to our star neighbors. Returning home. Completing the fluid and frictionless circle. More to come... Next time you find yourself thinking something is "weird" consider it from another perspective and reevaluate.
Infinity and Beyond--as placenta #4 will always be remembered-- my favorite part of encapsulating placentas is feeling the energy the placenta gives and feeling, seeing, its unique identity. This placenta was of a delicate nature requiring tenderness, softness and loving. Although a specific tree didn't surface when working with this placenta a memory of a tree I have encountered did, pictured below. The veins that ran through this placenta looped and swirled around each other creating an infinity symbol. Complete joy.
So blessed to have worked with this placenta. $3.10 saved by buying regular cubed tofu for 1.99 / # versus prepackaged tofu crumbles for $5.09/12oz
If you have ever used store bought tofu crumbles you are spending about $3.00 more for you dish. Tofu crumbles are easy to make. Buy tofu in whole packaged form put it in your freezer. Defrost when ready, squeeze out excess water, crumble into a frying pan and season appropriate for your dish. Tofu is like a sponge, frozen and defrosted tofu even more so and will soak up the flavors of your dish quite nicely. For many tofu crumble recipes visit Yummly. I wanted to paste the pictures because they all look amazing but couldn't figure out how to do it! Sad face. |
