Today’s a fabulous day to post any -offers you wanna share in the Thrive Community, -Skool communities you’re enjoying (including your own!), -products you love, etc! By the way, you do NOT have to wait for me to announce this! If it’s Monday in your time zone, just post away! Also, it’s a wonderful day to share the kind of movement you’re doing that lights you up. You can share in the comments below or make a new post! I’ll pin posts I see throughout the day.

It happens in my house every day, when my teenager calls me a “Hippie”. He doesn’t mean Hippie as in , “You challenge the dominant paradigms and you’re so free-flowing, connected to nature, and creative, and I really respect that, mom. “ He means Hippie as in, “You are embarrassing and lame mom, and why won’t you ever cook meat when we live around a bunch of ranchers and some of my best friends are ranchers?!” I’ve learned not to take it personally or to get upset by it. I’ve told him when he stops being a teenager, I can stop being a Hippie. It will be a while! When he’s out of the house, he won’t care if I’m being a Hippie or not! It’s important to be yourself and to do what makes you happy and makes you feel good, even if others (including family members) don’t understand it and make fun of you for it. I choose to be a vegetarian. I live in a family of meat eaters, and I completely respect the choices others make around food. I’m grateful to live in a time when we CAN make choices about what to eat. I spent a year eating meat and salads when I was working on clearing Candida! It’s ok to choose the kind of eating style that makes you feel the best, whatever that is. And it’s ok to change when it’s clear that it’s necessary, or you feel like it. Below is the so-called “Hippie Dinner” I made the other night, Coconut Cauliflower Curry. Sharing the recipe cuz it was absolutely delicious and pretty simple to put together! I added peas and a pepper to the recipe to add more of a variety of veggies. What do you do when someone labels you, whether it’s a family member, friend, acquaintance, or total stranger? How have you dealt with that in the past?
