Warm Yourself with Autumn Soups—3 Easy Recipes

Reading Time: 5 minutes The act of preparing food to nourish yourself and your loved ones brings a sense of joy and accomplishment – benefits that are difficult to measure, but nonetheless add up.

And, if you’re after saving time, don’t forget the crock pot! If you have one of these versatile kitchen tools, you have a busy soup-maker’s best friend. When I had a family to feed that thing practically lived on my counter during the winter.

Unlucky with Money?

Reading Time: 3 minutes I don’t really believe in luck. I do believe we are all on our own journey and here to learn the lessons that we are meant to learn. I also believe we are conscious co-creators of our lives, and that we don’t just let life passively go by.

That being said, when you find yourself in deep contrast, meaning struggling to pay the mortgage or rent, put food on the table, pay bills, etc., you could say, “Wow, I’m so unlucky in money.” However, that is a limiting belief. It lowers your vibration.

Movie Review: A Star is Born, (Spoiler Alert)

Reading Time: 3 minutes A Star is Born made me feel like I’d just spent two hours and seventeen minutes watching people I cared about fall in love and then lose themselves and in the end lose each other. I don’t want to see this movie again and it’s not because it’s not well done. I don’t want to see it again because it’s done too well.

Bottom line: Do not go see this movie if you’re looking to feel good when you walk out of the theater. You won’t. However, if you’ve got some good mood to spare, it’s worth the price of admission to feel something deeply that will distract you from all the politics in the world – at least for two hours and a few minutes

Vox: The rape culture of the 1980s, explained by Sixteen Candles

Reading Time: 9 minutes The dominant cultural narrative at the time of Brett Kavanaugh’s high school experience was the one offered by Sixteen Candles. And it taught any girl who went to a party and got assaulted by an acquaintance that whatever happened to her was surely her fault, that it proved she was the wrong kind of girl, that it was funny, that she had nothing whatsoever to complain about, and that it absolutely wasn’t rape.

Under those circumstances, the mystery is not why “any person would continue to go to … ten parties over a two-year period where women were routinely gang raped and not report it,” as Sen. Graham argued. The mystery is why anyone ever came forward with their story at all.

Saturday, October 6, 2018 will be the day the patriarchy died

Reading Time: 3 minutes We’re overdue for a revolution and there cannot be a revolution without women — and you know what? Women did not want this. We didn’t want to have to take our rage to a bloody battlefield. We hoped for the evolution of men who would break the patriarchy themselves. They have not. The problem with that is systems of oppression are not sustainable, no matter how badly oppressors want them to be.

So, here we are, at the party they created, the party we weren’t invited to – but we’re here anyway, and we’re going to burn it down.

We’re going to burn it down, not because we’re angry, but because it’s time.
It’s ours to do and they’ve left us no choice but to do it.

Ten Ways To Be Your Own Guru

Reading Time: 6 minutes Gurus are a dime a dozen. There is always someone selling something that’s going to fix everything. A lot of people will line up to buy the magic pill or quick fix, even if we know, we’ll probably never take it or use it.

Sure, we all can benefit from a guide who can shine the light on a path we want to hike. However, most of us have more self-help and spiritual books on our shelves than we will ever read, let alone implement.

Not to mention, the flavor of the day is always changing. The next great thought leader is always emerging. The newest process or product might just do the trick.

But here’s the thing: You are the expert on you.
