Mediterranean Lemon Chicken Soup - Dr. Mark Hyman This delicious Mediterranean Lemon Chicken Soup is the perfect meal when you want something warm and comforting that doesn’t feel too heavy.

Saw this today and wanted to share. 💕

This is ultimate slow food prep and eating. Right from the garden to the table.

I'm planning on doing more of this in 2023 and beyond. Also if you've never tried celeriac you must give it a try! It tastes a bit like celery but has the consistency of a turnip or squash.

Garden to table, celeriac remoulade with garlic mayonnaise The nutty flavour and aroma of celeriac are something else: if you don't have it this year, grow some next year! Sow in trays March with seed on the surface,...

I decided that ‘Move with Love’ is going to be my phrase for 2023.

Yes, I decided it today, on Feb 1.

I’m committing to treating myself and those around me with more love when I can.

Many around me and those I see online are hurting. I’ve had my own internal challenges too and the only thing I can think of that has helped is to give myself grace for being human.

It’s not always easy, but it’s a necessary step toward healing the mind and body.

How can we move more with love?

🪄Go to bed earlier
🪄Wake up earlier
🪄Drink water with lemon and a bit of salt.
🪄Look at the sky even when it feels gloomy.
🪄Hug someone
🪄Smile at someone
🪄Go for a walk, even if it’s around the block.
🪄Eat breakfast (before coffee).

Just pick one and try it. Doing one little thing can feel hard but it will help us get through the sticky mud immensely.

Happy February Friends.

(P.S. I got this tank from . ❤️).

I made granola today!

I actually don’t make it that much if at all. I never buy it. I got tired of going to the store, looking at ingredients and not buying anything.
