/ M E A L T I M E /

My body remakes itself strong, healthy, and radiant with every bite. ~

Last meal before prepping for Ekadashi, the Ayurvedic practice of fasting on the 11th days after the New and Full Moon.

Intentionally fasting for wellness and skin health has greatly transformed my relationship to food and the quality of time I focus on my mind, body + spirit.

Last month I began to commit to a fasting practice. I was surprised how little I felt the desire to eat when I was pursuing much needed slow space, enjoying quiet moments of reading, journaling, and long walks.

I give gratitude for this meal, marveling at the colors, the flavors, and the experience of preparing it.

I know it not only nourishes my body, but brings space for contemplation and invitation of mindfulness.

Even if fasting is not for everyone, I wish for all of us to embrace taking in the beauty of mealtime as a sacred practice.

/ B O O K O N E / Happy February! In true to me #taraocity fashion, I start my three intentions of 2023 on the second month of the year.

Intention #1. No buying books for myself (thrift books included). This one is going to be a big challenge as I love a good book haul from a dusty vintage store.

Finished January with my copy of @jedidiahjenkins book that took me longer to read than it took him to complete his journey biking from Oregon to Patagonia. I bought this book at a crossroads in my own life. I mused over his journey to discover the real wonders to discover that lie within each of us.

And like him, it was worth the long journey.

Do you like travel narratives as much as I?
