Monday & healthier breakfast toppings to share!

 





Good Morning.

Monday...last day of March 2025.


I have spent most of the winter much like this.

Disappointed with ao many people I decided to turn inward and work on the only

thing I could.... me.

I connected to the season , the grounds and the animals who visited me every day.

I focused upon my faith, family and healing as much of the damage done

from the past few years.

No longer am I a slave to whatever news story is of the moment...why?

They dramatically pass so quickly anyway like a Spring storm.

I pulled myself out of the madness so I could stop being influenced by

people who I now know had no care for me in the first place.

If I need to know something I will simply look it up myself.

I do not need anyone nor anything to tell me what is best for me & my family.

OR to hate on me because I do not align with their beliefs.

The very fact that people have turned their backs on loved ones

to pursue an intangible ideology  is mind boggling to me.

Silliness 

Or

Madness.


I wanted to nothing to do with that kind of relationship anymore.




 Spring is here or so they tell me.

This weekend was cold and wet.

The Lenten season has me still looking inward though.

Just a few more weeks until Easter and the promise of hope.

It is exciting.



Growth, a fresh start.... just what was needed.

But the Winter had to happen first.

***************







I have always known that the human body is capable of doing

so much more than we were taught.

Positivity is not just a negative buzz word used to silence

people who understand that sharing your happiness  is healing.

If you listen...truly listen to the signals one gets from a body

that is trying to heal itself , you find that little is needed to rectify so

many ills. But first you must remove what is standing in your way of

true health, be it stress, unhealthy food choices, outdated health decisions...

once removed we can see the healing power of energy and people.

People need friendships, neighbors, caring should around them

to lift them up, share milestones and lives with.


Family is sometimes not close by and waiting on people to

pop in in the country is simply unheard of.

You must make peace with that.

God places folks in your life at different moments.

The folks who enter now are obviously here for my future and to celebrate 

our past. I can not tell you how many childhood friends we have reconnected with.


I was able to focus upon what matters and that opened my world in a big way.

Holistic living , meaningful relationships, deeper faith and connections

with this beautiful place I get to live in.

The distractions filtered out.




Here in my new ( 4 year old) home. where I finally am settling in.




Thank you to all of you who have stayed here and kept up with

my growing pains. Your friendships mean so much in a world where

 so many have given up on simple decency and kindness.






Holistic to me also means finding simpler, purer ways to eat well.

Breakfast on the weekend usually means Gf homemade sourdough

bread. Both of these recipes I have made and both are just amazing.

Who knew that with a few simple ingredients and little effort you could

eliminate most of the junk in your breakfast foods.

I made my blackberry jam a few weeks ago - which is lovely!

Like summer in a jar!

This is what I meant by elevating your life.

Try these recipes out!















When life slows down, you can really appreciate the wholesome

goodness of pure foods.


Believe me.....

A few months ago I was still frustrated, trying to fit my round peg of me into

the square hole of what the world has become.

I have done this before yet this time was the hardest to realise that

I had to find my own way if I was ever going to find peace again.

and here we begin again.....

If you are interested in my life here at Stone Hollow, where

I will post about the New England seasons in the countryside, 

folklore from Mother Nature ,  holistic healing, yummy recipes for the body & soul,

 heart healing notions and words woven into this journal of sorts....

Then please stay.


I welcome you and the perspectives you will bring to my 

small place in the world.

Happy Monday friends.

Blessings,
Raven
xoxo
