A great way to start your day is with fruit. There is so much summer stone fruit in season, I encourage you to make yourself a bowl of your favorite season fruit, add a tablespoon or two of seed or nut butter, cinnamon, cardamom, sea salt and local honey. As inspired, try it out and let me know what you think.
Summer Tree Friend
These beautiful Tipuana or Tipu trees are shining bright in my neighborhood. The yellow flowers and bright green leaves have been speaking to me. They are the pride of Bolivia and from my perspective are a selfless provider of shade. They exude a certain playful calm. If you see one around, take a seat below its canopy and see what Tipu has to offer you. Remember that trees are the masters at reflecting and embodying receiving and giving.
As inspired, practice receiving and giving daily.
Summer Plant Friend
Yarrow has been sprouting up everywhere since Spring. It is still in full bloom here in California. If you want to calm down, you might harvest some, clean it and then make a bedtime tea. Alternatively, you can crush it up with and use it as a natural “band-aide”. Finally, if you have to much summer heat you can soak your feet in a yarrow foot bath. If you want to know if yarrow works with your system and lifestyle, send me a direct message.
