Your soundtrack for the following musings. Please press play and read on...

For the unification of my breath, the beat and my feet
all carrying me both towards and away from
with each deliberate step.

For not knowing where the rain ends and my sweat begins, 
and for not caring as both feel equally delicious as they dance across my skin.

For the certainty that this goal,
this spirit igniting goal,
which today seems so very far away
will soon be my undeniable reality.

For the time earned wisdom which reminds me that these obstacles,
they are merely building strength to catapult life forward into an expression of even more joy.

For vast nothingness.

For lost trains of thought.
Concerns processed, now the past and released.

For the opportunity to run directly into the wind.
The wind; the request from the universe to decide and commit.
As I lean in, it blows away any superficial shit
and leaves behind only space for commitment to my souls desire.

For hitting the edge of my comfort zone.
For acknowledging it, and yet still running on.

For sweet, soulful solitude.

For an insatiable hunger for love,
and for inspiration,
and for passion,
and for life.

For the opportunity to practice that pausing to catch my breath is not failure,
in fact it may be the key to a more pleasurable journey to success,
whatever success may look like in the end.

For a deep knowing that it's not just going to be OK,
it's going to be fucking glorious.

For all of this and more,
gratitude.

Namaste.

Step 1...spend the afternoon in the berry field with munchkins running around, babies sleeping and two mumma's visiting all the while filling baskets full of beautiful red raspberries.

Step 2...taste test said raspberries in the field. then on the drive home. then again once getting home. if any are left, proceed to step 3.

Step 3...make scrumptious Lemon Raspberry Muffins:)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl beat together until fully emulsified:

• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 cup honey

Beat into mixture:

• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 eggs
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 cup unsweetened Almond milk

Gently add (mixing only until combined):

• 2 1/2 cups whole grain spelt flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder

Fold in (being mindful not to crush the berries):

• 1 cup fresh raspberries

Spoon into muffin tins and back for approximately 25 minutes (depending on the oven). You are looking for a golden colour and if you gently touch the top, it will spring back.

Place on cooling rack and cool completely before storing in an air tight container...if they aren't eaten before getting there!

Makes 20 muffins.

enJOY!

Namaste
