Here’s what shocked me about not celebrating thanksgiving: nothing. It’s a silly holiday. Gratitude is a daily practice that liberates the depressed mind and brings about abundance. It’s not a cover up for a day that normalizes subjugation of human lives. . . We love food and holidays but we don’t love genocide. Here’s what we made for brunch today using indigenous foods from our yard and csa farm share. Cuz it’s always cool to post yummy food pics, but not because of some pi...lgrims. . . In-season local winter fruit salad: kiwi, persimmon, pomegranates by @urbantilth . . Grain free almond flour waffles by @simplemills made vegan with flax eggs , technique in my cookbook, click bio link! . . Sweet potato yuca air fries with radish and green onions from @urbantilth queso fresco is vegan feta from @violife_foods and Parmesan sprinkles by @goodplanetfoods . . . Pine nut cream sauce and pressure cooked white beans from our garden - took a whole season to get 3/4 cup dried beans. We learnin!! Puréed the white beans with basil pesto, also in cookbook . . All this inspired by #lectinfree anti inflammatory diet so our food may be our medicine! . . Ps. I have limited space for one-on-one teaching / food coaching therapy if you want to transform your holiday into a new tradition of health!! Link in bio to schedule @ Richmond, California See more

It’s my second baby’s first birthday. I wrote about my rebirth transformation! I promise to write more birth story ish this week.... it was soooo good!! Thx everyone who held space for us.

Om shantih to this journey!!! What I miss most about my life before motherhood is my meditation practice. I mean I used to meditate *uninterrupted* daily AND frequently attend silent retreats where I meditated all day! I did a 6 week residential retreat during my first trimester pregnant with my first baby and it was the hardest thing. I guess it was an intro to being a mother meditator! . . Now that I have two babies it’s a miracle to find time for silence. Thank Goddess I... learned about @expectful , the #1 meditation app with realistic guided meditation for all stages of motherhood from fertility to parenting. Today I don’t have a babysitter but I still need to work so I chose to listen to the Baby Carrying meditation for 5 min. Btw you can adjust the length of the meditation to suite your needs and available time! Trust me, there’s nothing more important than setting aside even 5 min to be present - I achieved this whilst doing an eating meditation today . I know how critical this is during these times so I partnered with @Expectful to gift a free trial of the app to my mama tribe. Use my link expectful.app.link/babymommarachel (see stories and bio!) to get your free trial started and let me know what you’re listening to. Ps they also added sleep meditations that you can play for your children who might need a lil help to GTF to sleep. Thank me later!!! . . #Expectful #ExpectfulAmbassador #iamexpectful @ Richmond, California See more

Seriously wondering how people get anything done without baby wearing

Forget distance learning - undo racism instead! Thanks for the good read by Heather Reed and Monkey Bars
