My life as a single mom... Vegan food, Yoga, Gratitude, Amazing kids, Rediscovering Myself and finding Balance in every bump along the way.

When life gives you almost nothing to work with, grab whatever leftovers and stray ingredients you can. This is millet in a coconut milk/peanut gravy (made with tomatoes from the garden, cashews, carrots, zucchini from the garden, ginger, garlic, whatever spices I threw in and roasted red peppers) with chick peas & sweet peas topped with avocado, lime and red pepper flakes... Holy yum... #vegan #delicious #whatdidijustmake #playinginthekitchen #cleaneating #realfood #yum #organic #getinmybelly

I just want to pour my soul out on someone and not have to worry about the mess I’ve made.

Oh. My. God. Mixed fruit salad with a light "dressing" of lime juice, oj, coconut water and a little honey topped with my Chocolate coconut cream mousse, topped with brown sugar/sea salt toasted almonds and a sprinkle of raw coconut.... Amazing. #vegan #chocolatemousse #fruitsalad #epicfruitsalad #dessert #yum #getinmymouth #nothingartificial #foodporn #partyinabowl

Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others.

You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.

god i fucking love people like right now someone is kissing their baby on the forehead for the first time and someone just went into a french bakery and is deeply inhaling and someone is dyeing their hair the color of the sky and someone just confessed their love to someone and you’re reading this post but you are alive and you will be okay and you will be happy

The poison leaves bit by bit, not all at once. Be patient. You are healing.

I will apologize for a messy home. I will apologize for a messy car. I will not apologize for my messy heart, soul or hair. Messy means alive. Lived in. Worked on. Improved. Broken. Fixed. Maybe broken again. Accepted…Messy is not dirty. Dirty means filth. Nasty to be near. Messy is being real. Comfortable. Striving for balance, for learning, growing and digging deeper. For screwing up, for being weird, for laughing at yourself. For loving. For being brave. For breaking down. For TRYING. Most importantly, messy is being ok with being messy & not ever saying sorry for it. So I will hang on to my messy life. And my messy hair. They suit me.
