Not really one to post news stories to my blog but this news is worth sharing (click the blue link above). If you have children and live in this "very costly city" I hope you are getting all of your child tax deductions (which include the parents of the children who come to my kid's yoga classes too I am sure)! This video is a reminder and was just posted today on our CBC.

community and garden are two really beautiful words.
Not really sure how, but my (neglected) garden plot still manages to put food on our table. I haven't been around the garden much the past few months but hey...it happens to all of us. That thing called life! Now that summer is winding down I will be making the garden much more of a priority again. Luckily for us here in BC we can garden all year long and grow much of our own food. Here are a few pics of the garden this morning. Every garden is just such a heavenly place to be. In spite of my neglect I've still got lettuce, potatos, beets, peppers, squash, basil, cilantro, thyme, parsley, chives, pumpkins, rosemary, onion...I can't even think of what else right now. Soon I will also have eggplant, and hopefully a few carrots. I am looking forward to growing garlic this year as well. Hope I don't miss the boat again on the planting of the garlic again! Really can't recommend enough, growing your own food. It is truly something I wish I started doing long ago for countless reasons.

“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.”

**There is Just one spot left in Wednesday evening's Prenatal yoga. This class WILL have a waiting list come Wednesday so if you were thinking of registering I would get on it asap.
All other classes at both Mount Pleasant and The Roundhouse are still accepting registrations! Looking forward to seeing my old friends and meeting many other new ones this week! Yay!
Namaste & Cheers to what's going to be an amazing, blissful, chill, healthful & happy fall ♥
This doesn't look like the most appetizing thing in the world here I know, but it's my favourite way to enjoy kale.Last year I had such an abundance of it in my garden that I had to get creative in finding ways to get it in me and this is by far, my favourite way.
Kale chips. My boyfriend isn't a fan (and I'd be lying if I said that they tasted better than potato chips haha), but they are delicious as far as I am concerned, majorly healthful, and perfect for that crunchy salty craving. I made these last night and they seriously take 15-20 minutes. There are many variations for the recipe but I keep it simple. I just wash and dry the the kale (certified organic or from your garden preferably), break pieces off the stems (bite size), turn the oven on to 300 and lightly toss the kale in olive oil (extra virgin/cold pressed if possible). Personally I spray a very light coating on. I sprinkle with sea salt, bake, and minutes later voila! I start crunching away!
It is important however to keep a close eye on them, turning them every ten minutes, as they burn easily. I don't overload the pan either. I like them crispy like chips so I don't crowd the pan. Dark leafy greens have more nutrition per calorie than any other food source and with cold and flu season coming it's good to up the nutrition quotient any way we can! bon apetit and namaste.

One of the truest quotes I know. In my life anyways. Burdens really are the foreunners of pleasure, for without the burdens, the pleasures of life wouldn't be nearly so sweet...
