One of those things for me is gardening 👣 Do I need to put in a garden at this rental house? Do I need to preserve land isnt "truly mine" ? No. Does it bring me joy to be out, playing in the dirt & conserving some wild flowers to help the bees? Yes!! So that's what I did today. The landscaper is coming tomorrow to mow....and I was having mixed feelings about cutting all these flowers, even though they are technically weeds & so disorganized. Instead, I put a fence around the area where I had already planted lavendar & rosemary, where the wildflowers are in abundance. I put in 2 types of salvia, rosemary and blanket flower** (not sun blast 😂😂). And by "bee problem", I mean, my dog for stung one night, swelled up like a balloon and got covered in hives. The 'lax approach to my yard all of a sudden became a priority, but I didn't want to disprupt the ecosystem completely. Long story long, spend your hard earned money on things that bring you joy & peace. Because at the end of the day, what's the point of it all? Isn't the goal everyday to find contentment? ❤❤❤

Remind yourself where you come from. In today's fast paced, synthetic world, it seems normal to always be lost, confused & stressed. As humans, we are so disconnected from our origins... Mother earth. Last night while walking my dog, we got caught in the rain. The Little Kenny in me felt so excited, (Noble was not 😂)! When we got home, I decided to stay out in the yard and embrace how alive the Earth truly is. Its been getting pretty hot here in Florida already, so I took the time to clean up some dead palm branches. Yes, in the rain. This is your reminder to let go of the expectations for a few minutes.. Reconnect with yourself through this sacred land & be at peace in the NOW 💗

I always go for all organic. Very rarely do I deter. Usually only for fruit that I love and can't get good in organic, and only if it has a thick skin. Melons mostly. In Florida, I get Mamey sapote that's local, but not organic. Foods I would simply pass on if there is no organic option due to pesticide levels, aka glyphosate: Berries Grapes Apples Lettuce Oats Corn Rice And if you eat wheat, always organic, prefferably imported from Europe.

Take notes from a puppy.. enjoy what is. The NOW. Find joy in little things, we really don't need much. Noble likes leaves & old ropes from the bottom of a garage better than $30 toys. Take notes!

Beyond the kitchen, my friends! Content boundaries are SO important. Is what you are paying attention to energizing or draining you? Is it distracting or teaching you? Books are easier to be intentional about than social media, that's for sure. Reading is always good, don't forget to slow down and take it back to prehistoric times before blue light & 3 second attention spans. These are 3 of my favorite women right now. They are all smart, raw & funny in their own ways. To say I've learned a lot is an understatement. Now the hard part is implementing my studies on a day to day! LMK what you're reading right now that'd fueling you!!
