You know that celery is good for you. Celery juice is amazing and I love it too. However, to make celery juice, we use the stems, but not the leaves otherwise it would be undrinkable. So what to do with these large bushy leaves my friend my sister?
First, you can consume these leaves in a juice but with apples to sweeten it. I add lemon, ginger and turmeric.
Then, the celery leaves are delicious thinly sliced in a salad because they provide sodium and enhance the taste. No need to use extra salt afterwards.
Some people use celery leaves in the dehydrator. Reduced to powder, it can then be used as a condiment.
And you my friend my sister, what do you do with your celery leaves?
My friend my sister, our life circumstances are just that. Let’s remain sovereign about our personal vibes. I choose my vibe. I don’t let the outside circumstances become my internal landscape.
I know that some superfood powders taste bad but are good for us. Instead of taking them with water (impossible!), try this recipe. No blender needed, no vegan milk required. I use 1 spoon of klamath, 1 spoon of cinnamon, 2 spoons of chocolate powder, 3 dried apricots, 2 mashed bananas, 1 spoon of raw almonds and grated coconut on the top.
“Man feels superior to nature and wants to dominate her. However, such violence and patriarchal arrogance are doomed to fail. Nature always wins in the end.”
I bought a cork yoga mat because yoga mats are used very intensively at my home, for hours of yoga and fitness every day.
I am so disappointed with this purchase because the cork yoga mat was shipped directly from China so it took more than a month, while the store promised only a week for delivery. Moreover, the value of this cork yoga mat is $10 while I paid more than €60 for it.
In conclusion, cork yoga mats may be worth the money but on a serious online store. Please share names of brands and stores if you have already ordered a good mat and are satisfied with it so we can help each other my friend my sister. There is a website I can recommend for quality yoga mats but they don’t offer any cork mat: https://chin-mudra.yoga/.
We are in October 2020. The iron curtain of this café has remained shut since lockdown in March. There were more than ten tables on the terrace. Here, we are in the South of France and the weather is nice even in winter. I’ve never seen the tables empty. There were almost only men in this cafe, gathered around an espresso, a beer or a glass of wine. This café is not my world and besides I would change sidewalks when I walked in this street, to avoid feeling the men’s eyes scrutinizing my body.
Yet I want to cry when I see that gray curtain closed permanently. Because there was life in this old-fashioned café, which showed a multitude of green plants through its windows, as well as an old babyfoot. This café allowed people to communicate, exchange views, and feel alive. Of course, some customers will have found other places to meet. But not all. Some men will stay home, possibly falling into isolation, depression or alcoholism.
I am also thinking of the cafe managers. How decades of hard work evaporated in a matter of weeks. I think of you, my friend, my sister, because you may also be concerned, as a restaurant manager, a gym manager, an exhausted health worker or other.
You know, I firmly believe in people’s intelligence, despite appearances. As I was sharing in a live stream lately, intelligence has nothing to do with the number of years of schooling or degrees. I also know that fear is poison. We need compassion for each other, especially for those who are afraid. I think of you and if you are suffering I want to be there in my own way, continuing to share, being present for the lives even when I’m tired, talking to you about serious or light things, inspiring you to add pretty colors to your plate and take care of your body. And your heart my friend my sister.
Besides, I want to believe in good. I want to believe that good will win in the end. Sometimes I must admit that I doubt it. But we have to believe my friend my sister. We must always embody our values and move forward despite the fear.
Yes I am convinced that there will be a lawsuit against those who allowed, even wanted, this disaster, but it will be too late.
What is left then? Resilience to overcome. Resilience.
