This life....figuring it out
Weird Energy
I’m not sure what is happening in the universe right now but everything feels off. I’m attempting sobriety, once again in life, but it feels different this time. Incorporating healthy mindfulness, physical health and managing my nutrient intake, it’s a lot. I have strong beliefs in astrology and the energy of our galaxies on the human psyche. The energy is strong at the present moment. I’m feeling it more intensely because I’m not destructively self medicating. If we can a

Natures nourishments...
If nature is providing us a source of nourishment, then our bodies are meant to consume it. Some are medicinal, some are fuel sources, others support mental health through beauty.

Consistency
Flowing This is where success lies! And I failed! I fell off the wagon BIG time. I let everything stand stagnate. My path to mindfulness, healthy lifestyle, blog posts, everything. I'm finally feeling like I am getting back on track. Started first with drinking less, much less. I'm working on none at all. I've struggled most of my life with drinking, so this is a big one for me. Back to my exercise regime and eating healthier, all with mindfulness and full intention. T
