Thought this would give us all a little laugh, as we can all relate. 😁

This made me laugh! The world is a stressful place these days. We are here to support you, uplift you, and hopefully inspire you and offer you the occasional chuckle. Ever eaten flounder? If you're not a fish person, it's very un-fishy. I've baked it with butter, garlic, and olive oil, and have also pan-fried it dipped in a mix of parmesan and a little bit of almond flour. It mostly takes on the flavors of whatever you cook it with/in. Anyone got flounder ideas? The fish, not the behavior. ;-) Happy Friday!

Are you there? 🤔 🙂 Just dropping this post link here - would love to hear from all of you on where you are at in your journey and how things are going. 👇 https://www.skool.com/lifestyle-evolution/lets-all-check-in-for-wellness-wednesday?p=b20fbfc1

Bone broth is not a trendy superfood. BUT, it is one of the most healing, nutrient-dense whole foods you can consume. And it's been used for thousands of years because it WORKS. Here's why... When you simmer bones for 12-24 hours, you extract: - Collagen - Rebuilds your gut lining (the barrier that keeps bad stuff out) - Gelatin - Seals intestinal permeability ("leaky gut") and reduces inflammation - Amino acids (glycine, proline, glutamine) - Repairs and heals gut tissue - Minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus) - Absorbs into your bones and joints - Hyaluronic acid - Lubricates joints and reduces pain For your gut: If your gut lining is damaged (from processed foods, inflammation, stress), food particles escape into your bloodstream. Your immune system freaks out. Inflammation spreads. Bone broth seals that lining. Heals it. Restores it. Result: Better digestion. Better immunity. Better nutrient absorption. For your joints: Collagen and gelatin literally rebuild cartilage and joint tissue. If you have joint pain, stiffness, or arthritis—bone broth is medicine. Not a supplement. Not a powder. Real food. Here's the ritual - Instead of coffee tomorrow morning, try this: Sip bone broth like you'd sip coffee. Warm it up. Add a pinch of sea salt. Grab your favorite mug. Sit with it. Breathe. Let it warm you from the inside. You're not just drinking broth. You're feeding your gut and joints with every sip. Why this works as a morning ritual: ✅ Warm liquid settles your nervous system (way better than caffeine jolt) ✅ You're starting the day with healing, not stimulation ✅ Minerals absorb better on an empty stomach ✅ It's grounding and intentional ✅ You can still have your coffee after if you need it How to make it: Throw bones (chicken, beef, or fish) in a pot with water. Add onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Simmer 12-24 hours (shorter in an InstaPot). Strain. That's it. Roast them in the oven ahead of time for some added depth of flavor.

The older I get, the more fun it is to look back. I am not sure how old I am in this pic - maybe about 13 or 14. The hair...had to tease those bangs back in the 80s! 😆 And the shirt - I loved that shirt. I got it on a trip to visit my Dad in Colorado (when we still lived in NC) and he took us to Cripple Creek. I wore that shirt for years until it had a ton of holes in it. 🥴 I would love to see some old school pics of some of you! Drop them below 😁 👇
