Hello, delicious creamy cashew pesto veggies (with powdered nettle) and crusty spelt sourdough.
•
After all the pecan pie and chantilly cream (I was devotedly ‘dessert first’ for about five days), the filet mignon, buttered mash, pasteles, fizzy juice, and chocolate treats of the holiday season (which was indulgent HEAVEN), THIS GREEN is all I want to eat.

Pondering the cycles and spirals, moments and movements, themes and trajectories of this past year…
•
Mostly not really thinking that much really… more feeling in my heart and honoring that wordless inner-knowing.
•
I do have some intentions for 2024, but nothing very communicable in list format; mostly imprints and sense impressions that are taking form in their own formlessness.
•
This year has had a brutal ending in the global collective, that’s for sure. Sobering, chilling, horrifying, gut wrenching, highly destabilizing realities.
•
We need human kindness, human love, human respect, human excellence, human softness, human artistry, gentleness, caring, listening, honoring, understanding, sharing, nurturing MORE THAN EVER.
•
Whatever my personal intentions are for this coming year, this need is the basis of all of them.
•
Alignment is not a personal venture. It is a global and cosmic one. What energies in the greater universal space do we seek to align with? What are the guiding principles of our lives? How can quieten the personal noise and the collective distractions, to honor the very essence of our miraculous existence, and that of the ALL?
•

🌿It’s my kind of equation:🌿
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
🌿Energy to the power of change, multiplied by time.🌿
•
Still in awe every day of this hillside garden and growing forest…
•
🌳 I know how nature is and I know how nature does, but still, when I witness both the incremental changes and the the long game, and get to share in the journey of the processes over time, I am blown away by the web of life that holds us all and everything. As with gardens so with children, animals, trees, communities.
•
Merry merry to one and all.
•

This winter incarnation of our driveway I am loving.
•
The boneset flowers are abundant and fluffy and at their most showy and fresh right now. Like fluffy warm snow blanketing our hills and caressing our young trees of guanábana, roble, flamboyan, neem, y moringa.🌿💫
•
The trees we planted, the boneset is wild and so welcome.

Today’s baking beauty - focaccia.
•
I started making this yesterday and then got to the place in the recipe that calls for 18 hours refrigeration and I felt a bit thwarted, but it was super easy to just forget about it and then bake this morning, in time for lunch.
•
My lovely Coco gets this fresh out of the oven, with hummus, cucumbers, and garlic butter.
•
You can google King Arthur sourdough focaccia recipe and find the one I made.
•

This bundle now available

Head there for a glass o’ booch and to grab your

Pretty things… this time of year is divine… the weather is cool-hot and comfortably not too humid; the sunlight is golden and gentle; the food is amazing; the festive cheer is building and building. Christmas here literally runs from the day after Halloween until February. It is magical.
•
Waves, whales, tourists (and income from tourists), seasonal friends, family visitors, comfortable nights, pasteles, pies, twinkling lights all return - the music gets louder, business and bureaucracy slow way tf down, farm mud dries out, vines slow down their takeover plans, and the joymeter gets higher and higher.
•
It’s basically the best place and the best time.
•
Gracias vida. Gracias boriken.
•

Treat tea-time #•
•
There’s a recipe for this a few posts back🙏

In another dog-related post, we are very proud of our little Maggie Moo, who is learning to be calm enough in the truck to not puke.
•
She’s learning this through positive experiences at the local beach - close by enough that she can hold her vom before having a happy lovely time… and through a lot of stroking and hand holding on the journey, and treats when she gets home…
•
She pi**ed all over herself tho. So it wasn’t a perfect 6 minute journey, but at least her breakfast didn’t come up.
•
Go, Maggie!
•

Lenny likes to climb into bed and often fills Justin’s spot as soon as it becomes available! This morning tho - under the duvet and all… that felt a little extra.
•

Tropical cottage kitchen corner feeling pretty
•

Hopi was so excited by her new farm-mate that she cut her bangs! Ok, yeah - it was me! 🤭
•
She looked a little weird, so we ruffled and punked it up a bit.
•

I am SO STOKED with this recipe for grain-free waffles!!
•
Soft, fluffy, slightly chewy, slightly crispy on the outside… perfect.
•
I followed a recipe online a few weeks ago and they were total crap, so I haven’t even bothered since.
•
Today I had a craving so followed my own instincts and they are SO GOOD…
•
1/2 cup almond flour
1&1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp xantham gum
2 tsp psyllium powder
2 medium eggs
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup oat milk
1&1/2 tsp coconut sugar
•
I served mine with butter and local honey, and a few ants (sorry guys, but you insisted on drowning in my amber nectar).

Y E L L O W • Day • Wednesday
•
Headed out of the garden and into the shower before going to pick up our son from school. Felt like wearing green pants - but, it’s yellow day!! Gah!
•
Rush out the door to find a fresh yellow parcha on the driveway waiting for me - yummy, thanks!💛

I bought these sofas yesterday. I was thrilled with my thrifting haul, came home, rejoiced momentarily, moved some furniture about, and rapidly became despondent, hit with a massive case of buyer’s remorse.
•
I put one of the sofas up for sale, started feeling better at recouping money back. Went to bed.
•
Woke up - LOVE THEM this morning!
•
Anyone else afflicted with this buyers remorse? I have it after almost ever purchase - and absolutely ALWAYS after large purchases. This was not a large purchase btw, it was a bargain find, but the remorse kicked in mightily.
•
It’s a weird response. I am thinking it is a residual reaction from growing up with very limited financial resources and all the subsequent messaging and programming that I received by natural result of my family experiencing lack.
•
And then so very many years of spinning my/our way through life on next to nothing. I think this has left me, still, with a sense that I should not have nice things, or that nice things or big things, or new things, are an extravagance that it would be dangerous to entertain… hmmm 🤔 I am in a position now where, while we have no excess, our needs are covered without anxiety and hustle. This is new for me in my 46 years on this plane.
•
I have experienced financial relief before, but always at times when I surrendered everything and offered myself, barefoot and solo, no dependents, no ‘things’ and no ‘desires’ to the winds of destiny. Destiny caught me and held me every time. I learned and grew so much. And I learned to celebrate and enjoy the space beyond money and beyond fear. But now things are different. I am responsible for many beings, human, furry, feathered, leaved. I seek to give support and uplift and create experiences and sustain many lives and lifeways. Money is not the key to that; but freedom from crippling anxiety over lack of money is. It is hard to be creative when afraid of losing your home or not being able to feed your kids.
•
I took the listing down this morning, and we have all decided that these sofas are here to stay. The animals and we are all enjoying our new comfy corner. AND we have food, and our bills paid.

This is the hair product you have been looking for👇
•
I’ve talked to you about
🍃🍑B A R E• N A K E D•L O V E🍑🍃
before, I know it.
•
But if you have hair (and dry or chapped skin) you need this baby in your life.
•
Definition, curl management, gentle hold, polish, shine, deep nourishment that heals, nourishes and protects over time… your styling friend, conditioning ally, and emergency go-to in a dry skin moment.
•
No styling or processing needed. Wash, towel dry, apply, brush/comb, scrunch (for curls-waves); and re-apply, brush, mist, scrunch, as you will, as per your hair’s needs and preferences along the way until your next wash…
•
Shea, cacao, glycerite of 🌿Ylang Ylang🌿 (from our gracious tree), jojoba, coconut oil, beeswax (local), benzoin, vanilla, peppermint.
•
Simple and magical blend of handmade goodness.
•
For all hair types: curly, frizzy, locked, pixie cuts, beards & mustaches, sleeked down buns, split ends, glamorous waves…
•
DM to order, or visit the shop in bio link.

(No filter, but the red hues I think must be brought out by the atmospheric bedroom lighting🤩😘🍑…)
•

Encapsulation of Placenta is a task I am honored to do.
•
It is a process made up of sequenced, methodical steps, taken within a space that is physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually clean. The kind of process I find extremely soothing.
•
It is an offering, and a service for women, their babies, and their families, for their general health, vitality, balance, and wellbeing.
•
This is the second placenta I have received now from this same mama. It is an honor also to witness the growing of families and the expansion of L O V E.
•
Gracias vida 🙏
•

Justin and I just had the most wonderful zoom meeting with a magical man in Devon (UK), and now I sit down in the kitchen to eat my lunch (with strong English cuppa).
•
This was a really potent and edge-space conversation, and now I’m experiencing the most delicious alignment of frequency and being, gravitational connection points/aha acknowledgments of magic, and ancestral happenings that are honestly too profound and etheric to try to name or define in this space.
•
I mark this sweet moment with a photo. As I am about to hit ‘post’, I am not even sure what this photo even says about the moment… but I’m going to share anyway.
