Thank you! I'm sure you've no doubt felt the same many times on your nightly walks. Really can't think of a better way to have the senses come alive (maybe my username should be dedicated to nature!)

You are so right. Our egos subconsciously make so many decisions for us based on who we think we should be/should look like. And yes, the beauty/pain of being human. We never get there, but the release

Thank you so much! Grateful for this community for bringing so many great minds together.

Thank you! I'm really hoping that will be one of the lasting changes from everything that's going on; an emphasis on slowing down, which can lead to more mindfulness. The world would be a lot better off

Wow. This is incredibly powerful. Rawness is felt in writing like few other qualities, and I commend you for being brave enough to be public with your healing. Thank you, and I hope you getting it out

Love your honesty, and how you've found ways to make the trait into a positive! We're all just works in progress, and this is a beautiful reminder of coming to grips with being okay with that. Excellent

Gorgeous! It's like we get two autumns.

Absolutely. Another beauty of the human life. The autonomy to write our own stories.

I dunno which is better, your garden or your neighbors! That's incredible that they planted some of the things for you. Beautiful garden, you've got a great resource there!

Awesome, I just joined the Natural Medicine community from those links and look forward to learning/posting in there! Nature has such a powerful healing power, it truly is Natural Medicine. The word can

I am SO happy I came across your account. Ram Dass is one of my favorite spiritual teachers of all-time, and deserves all the recognition in the world. Your posts are all fantastic (looking through them

Nothing like being surrounded by the beauty of nature. Forest bathing is so powerful.

This is awesome! I was a Muay Thai fighter for about six years, transitioned into coaching now, but this would have been a great tool to have for preparing for the ring.

I'm no nutritionist, but think even mindfully eating it (which is great practice in general!) would probably still spike the glucose fairly quickly. Who knows though. That's always the hardest part with

Grow your wings on the way down! Love it.

Thank you! The only thing that would make me hesitate about breaking with an apple is the blood sugar spike it would cause. Could definitely be an option though. Good on you for sticking with it for so

Amen! I stay away from all foods made with oils (except if it's coconut/avocado oil). I was thinking the nut butter was to blame, but you may very well be right about the oysters! I'll avoid those next

Well done, seriously. Most people would not be that brave. I've heard of parasite cleansing fasts that seem similar...not sure if you experienced any of that? Maybe TMI for this post lol.
