Things change from generation to generation, stories of hardship and triumph are passed down, interpreted by those left behind and discarded or integrated into the fabric of present time. But even if we consciously decide to ignore the lessons of those who came before us, there seems to be an energetic element that persists, continually sending the unheeded lesson until we are forced through the sheer magnitude of it to stop, to reflect, to evolve spiritually and to redirect a …
Plant Powered Leftover Makeovers for Busy Folk – Mexican Rice
Jazzing up Leftovers, the plant powered way…
I thought I was super busy when I was raising my children back in the day. And I was.

Plant Based Bean Chili: Grand-kid Approved
Once every two weeks I visit my daughter to give her a hand with after school activities, supper and bedtime.

Even though my daughter says that I don’t always have to bring something that both kids like, I kinda like to, seeing as I am their Grammie and all.
