A Paleo observation ...

It's no super-revelation.
But I feel it's a worthy note.

Paleo is simple.

There. I said it. It's just simple.
A little almond flour here. Coconut oil there. Sea salt and baking powder/soda.

I can pretty much put together a tasty entree or baked treat at any point if I have these items on hand, plus some fruit or meat. Btw, if you are shopping well, you have these things on hand :)

Done.

Just sayin'.

Feeling Reflective Today ...

Spring, I love thee. Even on a day like today when you are barely there.
Still, you are beautiful. Full of hope.

This has been my most recent RE-revelation: hope is simply and always there. Even in my days of great despair, it's the green buds against the flying snow. It's the cars and people that show up to a garage sale in 37* and mist for weather.

It is sitting with my sister, laughing and dreaming; remembering yet thinking forward. Eyes misty. Souls connected.

If only I will just be still, and acknowledge the healing of its' presence.
