Everything we take in, from our food to the sunshine on our skin, the cool air and the beauty of nature, to the thrills we get from adventuring or watching an action-packed movie affects us.
.
This week I was feeling called to nourish myself. Summer-like weather has me shaking off the instinct to hibernate, and I decided to play with the fresh veggies from Spade & Plow, making a beet & cara cara orange carpaccio with pea shoot pistou and a crispy-skinned king salmon seasoned with with caraway and coriander.
.
Luckily I had sprung for some fresh flowers this week, so I pulled together quite the beautiful tablescape for my late lunch, and just like that, I was enjoying all of the aliveness around me. Singing birds, blooms, fresh produce & fish, sunshine & warmth.
.
Treat yourself. You are worth it.

Thanks to @spadeandplow for the inspiration and amazing, fun produce to provide the inspo, @thecheeseshop1 for the young gruyere to provide that extra bit of creaminess, and @joycewinecompany for the perfect pairing with their Submarine Canyon chardonnay.

Rest, stimulation, inspiration, more rest. Nature, nurture, nature and a dose of that vitamin D. 🌞 Times of stress call for going in, exploring the shadows and darkness, seeing what lies within, which I've always been good at. The reemergence, however, has always been a boomerang for me. You've wallowed enough; time to get back to work. Try to make up for lost time. Guilty for taking the time and making the time.
.

When I teach asana, I always stress to release slowly, to not let the body boomerang back to it's previous shape. In engaging the muscle to stay as The hand, gravity, the prop releases, we build strength in our flexibility, strength at the end range. As within so without, right? To slowly emerge from rest, introspection, and nurturing, we build strength, finding our way back with more ease, instead of knee-jerk-return from busybuzzybizzydizzy to collapsing into "rest".

Stop, pause, rest.

It's that time of year to snuggle into your nest. Take some time to rest. Pause and reflect. It's time to do doing and just BE.

🍂🍃🍂
And in that being, see who you are right now.

Happy Thanksgiving. May you find plenty of time to just be this weekend and this season.
