“To forget how to dig the earth and to tend the soil is to forget ourselves.” ~~ Mohandas K. Gandhi~~

A positive effect of the  less than optimal economy has been Gardens and Recession Diets. Whether planting your own garden, being a part of a community garden, or buying from a Farmers’ Market or a CSA… REAL food can help keep you lean, clean, green, not to mention surviving & thriving! It can in fact help with finding your passion and purpose. Freeing the body of toxic waste frees the mind of toxic thoughts and vice versa. ”Forgetting ourselves” becomes unfortunately easier when the diet consists of cooked, processed, and/or fake food with labels.

Gardening will not only lower your grocery bill and whittle the waist,  it will add years to your life and life to your years! Think you don’t have a place to garden? Pots, wheelbarrows, and even lil red wagons serve quite well as a place to grow your own food. The beauty of growing in small moveable objects is you can follow the sun.

Consider giving your thumbs a try at gardening, you’ll be glad you did! Saving your seeds and or buying organic seeds or seedlings can feed you and your family for days and decades to come!

He who knows others is wise, he who knows himself is enlightened. Lao Tzu

Who did you dream of becoming when you grew up? Does your identity of being, doing, and having align with your vision, values, and goals? Knowing the answers to these questions, believe it or not, will help you age LESS!

Have you put yourself on “autopilot” in a 9 to 5 job (you don’t care about), day in and day out, year after year? Is this really YOU? Holidays AND birthdays come quicker with each passing year. Life is short and even shorter when YOU DON’T TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! Don’t be one of the many to accept and expect to become fat, fatigued, or diseased with age.  Why not age less, on purpose with passion? Learn and live using the talents given to you when you were born.

What might those talents be? Your soul knows…

Finding your passion and purpose does absolute wonders in helping you age less, eat less, weigh less, worry less, stress less, and be happy with less.  Giving you more of what is important… all aspects of their ideal life (and body, mind, and spirit)!”
