Never Eat Soggy Waffles

this cute little acronym speaks to me
in a directional and a food-related sense today...

I have heeded a tenacious call to study
holistic nutrition.
how not only the what, but
how.when.why.where, etc.
we nourish ourselves with
affects us overall
in body, spirit, mind, and
creativity.

the hitch in my giddyup has been simply coming to terms with the unknown nature of what to 'do' with such information once I invest in obtaining it; yet this is the next step in the natural progression of my journey toward healthifying my own relationship with how I
nourish my self on all levels.
i am and will allways be my first and a lifelong client.
food is a passion. and my connection to all things in nature, including my fellow human beings.
now I feel the time is showing itself to enter the marketplace, so to speak.
with open hands.
and a play-in-progress 'tude.


direct the mind, drive the hind...

drive the hind, and the mind will follow...
yee-haw!

Are you curious about exploring the role nutrition plays in your own life and health? Find the food industry a bit overwhelming and want some help sifting through the information to make well-informed, conscious choices? Do you deal with a particular condition or dis-ease that you would like to treat holistically, or in a way that works with a western medicine approach? Do you simply have the sense that you could be feeling better than you do, or that you could use some support in obtaining a greater state of vitality through individualized diet/lifestyle/cleansing suggestions?

I will be seeking people for case studies.
Would you like to be a volunteer client?
Through opening up about your health (your personal identity shared only as initials or a substitute name), I am excited to see what we can learn together, and hopefully you will walk away with a new lease on life.
Or at the very least the inspiration to whip up some hearty un-soggy waffles.


Let medicine be thy food,

Music is a lady that I still love because she gives me the air that I breathe. We need all sorts of nourishment. And music satisfies and nourishes the hunger within ourselves for connection and harmony.

Sometimes you struggle so hard to feed your family one way, you forget to feed them the other way, with spiritual nourishment. Everybody needs that.

It's so clear that you have to cherish everyone.
I think that's what I get from these older black women,
that every soul is to be cherished,
that every flower Is to bloom.

Be master of your petty annoyances
and conserve your energies
for the big, worthwhile things.
It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out,
it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
