We all have the power of intuition in the kitchen. In order to tap into ourselves we must first shine a light on blocks that are stopping us, so that we can let our creativity blossom. Bon Apétit!

Self-Love for Realists.

Feeling really excited about the launch of my new site! Bringing soul work into my day to day experience. The process of building this site was effortless and came together with such ease. I am feeling so Brave and so New! 

I can't wait to see the lovely reflections I attract and to be in connection with them. Feeling creative, inspired, and so grateful to everyone who has seen it and sent kind words. 

Blessings and Gratitude, A.

Being a woman is a special special gift. Love and respect your body. Honor the miles she caries you in her life. This body is your gift from the universe, trust that you were gifted the right one. She will grow and shrink and cry and dance. And if you're lucky she might even become your best friend. The only thing she requires is love, kindness, and compassion…. Give freely for your love will never run out.

One of my teachers sent me this quote today as a brilliant reminder... Stay the path, embrace the bumps in the road, and laugh or cry whenever it's needed. Tonight I'm surrendering to the moon because she's a beaut, and my heart is strong. 💚💚💚🌺 #magicmoon #heart #love #findyourjoy #deepthoughts #goddesslife

Geneen Roth's 7 eating Guidelines

Geneen Roth has been one of my teachers from the day I decided It was time to figure this whole relationship with food thing out. I do not work with her directly, but her teachings resonate with me so deeply I feel like we are destined soul sisters. She has 7 eating guidelines that I just came across again today, that I am ready to revisit and love on. I invite you to join me in being curious about food, about your relationship with it, and about your connection to this amazing life force that fuels your body. As we transition from Summer into fall Im noticing that personally I am ready to retreat inward, to come back to home base and tap into myself. Summer was fun and light and social, its time to go inward, be curious, and inquire. It's time to get back to basics, back to love, back to self. Becuase after all "Love will take you the whole way if you let it." So love on!

Eat when you are hungry.


Eat sitting down in a calm environment. (This does not include the car.)

Eat without distractions. (Distractions include radio, television, newspapers, books, intense or anxiety-producing conversations or music.)


Eat what your body wants.


Eat until you are satisfied.

Eat (with the intention of being) in full view of others.


Eat with enjoyment, gusto and pleasure.

Love and Blessings,

A.

Today I got to celebrate where I started on my journey. I got to love on my old self that I didn’t know how to love. Then, I got to be in my goddess power. I got to try on my new exciting brave self. I am in complete admiration of all that is me. I am in LOVE with every inch of this body. I am grateful. I am over flowing with joy, appreciation and gratitude. Thank you to Kathy Carlisle for having this brilliant vision, Jeanna Mills for your hair Magic, and Hannah Mills for your makeup and connection. This life is a gift that is happening for me. <3

I have been in the midst of a non finishing of books purchased crisis.... Self diagnosed of course. Today I got this book @cafegratitude , started it at the airport and finished it on the plan. It's so simple and yet so brilliant. I can't wait to go back through the exercises. I am the key to my own peace and there is enough love to fulfill the whole world. A wise man once told me "Love can take you the whole way, if you let it." Those words have stuck with me everyday since. Feeling so beyond inspired, all the while knowing I am exactly where and who I need to be, no action or doing nessisary. #love #iamgrateful #iamabundant #thankyou #iamsafe #iamdivinelove

Today my heart became me. It opened right up and enveloped my everything. Together we beat in effortless motion. There was no distinction between her and I. And as I lay there in Shavasana I knew that I was fully supported, that I had the courage to be my most brilliant self. That I am whole. Now ain't that some beautiful shit. 💖💖💖 #Heartisme #findyourjoy #loveyourselfeverydamnday #iamgrateful #justsayyes #yogaeverydamnday #shavasana

I. Am. Safe. Three little words that can transform a feeling from unbearable to tolerable. Our emotions can be so potent that they can manifest into the physical form in our bodies, or just rock your day in every way possible. A simple breath in combination with these three little words can make a world of difference. Choose your words wisely for they are creating your life in every moment. Kindness begets kindness, love attracts love, your gifts will almost never look how you imagined them. Practice gratitude especially from deep within the most uncomfortable of places. #iamsafe #feelmorefacebookless #findyourjoy #itrusttheprocessoflife #wordscreate #bekindtoyourself #trustlife

I Love You. The second time I met this woman I told her I loved her. @rosieacosta has showed me the magic of yoga and helped me create ritual in my life. Before her class I thought that yoga was an exercise class for flexible people who looked good in leggings. She has deepened my practice and helped me to explore deep within myself to allow yoga to live within me, which has gone so far beyond the asanas. This is my friend, teacher, soul sister, spiritual gangster, and an all around amazing human being. My gratitude for you is so deep my sweet, words cannot comprehend how special you are to me. Thank you. I love you. You are a light in my life. @yoga_girl #yogagirlchallenge #yogaeverydamnday #ILOVEYOU #sograteful #myteacher #findyourjoy #lightworker (at The Yoga Space)

I’ve been baking this pie in my mind for two days. I had two big leeks, and 4 pears that were getting too ripe so I decided of course I will make a pie with leeks, pear, eggs, and brie cheese!!! Have I ever made a pie savory or otherwise? Nope sure haven’t! Did I use a recipe? Nope sure didn’t! I am beyond excited because it came out just as I imagined it in my mind! This is Cooking With Intuition at it’s finest!!! And so here is my recipe for the worlds simplest most delectable savory pie:

- I used a simple frozen pie crust because time was short. - Chop and cook 2 large leeks in butter with salt and pepper. - Peel and chop 4 pears - Slice a good amount of brie cheese (with the skin). - Whisk 5 eggs and a dash of half and half or milk, salt and pepper for flavor. - Toss leaks and pears into the partially pre-baked crust. -Top with brie cheese slices evenly. - Pour the egg mixture evenly overtop. -Bake for 30-40 mins on 400!

BAM!!! Viola! Pie ala heaven!!!!

I love you Altar!!! This is my most favorite place in my whole house, maybe even the world. This is my sacred space, where I meditate, pray, cry, think, get inspiration. It is so special because I've filled it with things I love, and gifts from people I love! Things in nature that I've found, and it is me. I don't ask or checkin or see what people think of it, I just build and change it to my hearts content. There is something truly transformative about a place in your house that is dedicated and devoted to you and you alone. Respect your altar, love it, and allow all that is you to be there. @yoga_girl #yogagirlchallenge #yogaeverydamnday #sacredspace #houseofritual #goddesslife #findyourjoy #yes #love #magic

When I look at this photo I see strong women, and man. I see body's in nature, and for once I don't see myself sticking out like a sore thumb. I'm not different, I am a strong beautiful woman too. I.

Here's to CLEANING OUT the old ego baggage with compassion and love!! Today has been such a beautiful lesson for me in allowing, loving, and letting go!!! I hold on to a whole lot of mind clutter and rethink over and over again what I said, what they said, what I shoulda, coulda, woulda said! Throughout this month as I have focused on these challenge prompts I've been digging in and finding new and sometimes dark space within me. It's taken a lot of compassion and tears to see that we are all our own special blend of perfect. We are all full of light and love and specialness. There is no one that is You-er then you.... Isn't that amazing?! Today It took me some deep feeling and a few tears to see just how special and ME I am. So I am cleaning out the old tired mind chatter ego bullshit and starting fresh in every moment. Because I am different and more me, with each passing millisecond. 💖💖✌️🌚🌞 @yoga_girl #yogagirlchallenge #yogaeverydamnday #findyourjoy #beherenow #youarespecial #rumi #lovethemoonwithin #waxandwane #expandandcollaps #breathe #cry #openup
