Don’t you think we need to celebrate our planet more often? I’ve been longing to reconnect with Mother Earth lately; to get back to my roots in an effort to feel more grounded.
When I was young, my mother took us on a cross-country camping trip in a red Volkswagen bus lovingly named “Chugaboom.” It remains one of my favorite childhood memories and I am forever grateful to her for the experience.
To celebrate a milestone birthday in March this year, I wanted to camp with friends and family. Schedules didn’t allow for a campground excursion, so I set up tents in the backyard enticing apprehensive guests with a pool or garden view, and saving the “beach” view (below) for my headshaking husband.
We cooked meals on the barbecue and sat around the firepit sharing stories and s’mores. It was the BEST birthday ever and an important reminder to embrace activities that nurture our soul. We can’t wait to do it again.
This edition is full of pointers and practices to help fuel mind, body and soul: from the energy around us to our own awakenings; from magical meals out to recipes for home; from avoiding plastics to fasting for cancer; from yoga inspired by our beautiful desert to the power of Pilates; and from doctors prescribing food as medicine to neighbors helping neighbors.
Let’s nurture Mother Earth, ourselves and those around us today, and every day.
With love and kindness,
