Detox Mentor Daily Updates UPDATE

campingPardon the sporadic updates as I continue to be in HouseSitting/Nomad/Hotel mode enjoying the last few days of warmer weather and the grounding effects that camping have brought.

“Life itself is the proper binge.”  ~Julia Child~

I didn’t realize how much insight I’d gather from this round of growth and reflection. I do know I’m about ready to throw in the towel – getting rather bored and restless. One can only read and be what feels like stagnant so long – it’s time I start doing! We rest we rust.

Irritability aside, I look so forward to the simple pleasures that my own refrigerator can bring… eggs, real butter, raw milk, and what my own space will allow me to make again… homemade kefir, kombucha, and yogurt OH MY! A garden will be icing on the cake!

Traveling light these past 8 1/2 months as a gypsy has had some interesting moments (to say the least). Thankfully what didn’t suffer too terribly was my diet. Amazing what we can make with just a few ingredients and no fridge. I was able to follow mother’s lead of making something out of nothing (and make it taste and look good). Doing it off grid more than once has been empowering – loved it!

I’m thankful I’ve been able to read and research on and off grid with bouts of working on next book. A day hardly goes by that I don’t read, learn and want to share. You know you’re living your passion and on purpose when you simply can’t shut if off. This is me and precisely why I’m in dire need of some sort of routine to take it to the next level.

Ali - JessieDown time does a body, mind, and spirit good. Done in moderation (and with time spent wisely) is a win-win from head to toe, inside and out. Another upside to my… just shy of a year long detour, has been getting to know a few siblings (there are 7 of us) better.

The one person in particular I will never do without is my beautiful godchild/grandniece, whom most know as Mini Me. I thank the gods that be that our relationship did not suffer during this time. This lil 7 y/o has continued to love me unconditionally through it all. She’s my barefoot Trooper, my lil soulmate, the love of my life.

May we all have a love for life and life of love like my precious sidekick exude. Mother Nature’s prescription doesn’t get a whole lot better than this.

As Mini Me would say… Peace OUT!
