For some of us, being stuck in the same place all the time is a little boring. There’s a big world out there waiting to be explored, and while travel is certainly fun, it’s also necessary for the overall improvement of one’s life. Here are five benefits of “globe-trotting.”

The Cosmic Story: Libra New Moon, September 30, 2016

Big Love!

New Moon nights are magical times. The night sky fills with millions of stars with no Moon in the sky to enchant our eyes. We look up and look out into the universe, just as the far side of the Moon does. We look into eternity. And a new seed gets planted in our collective psyche.

I had read about the kiwifruit and knew that it “packed a punch” of vitamin C. There was one sliced open, and I was intrigued by its beauty as well. What an interesting looking fruit it truly is. Of course, it went into my grocery cart along with the rest of my items. I had to try it.

Feeling a bit festive? Try these gram flour fritters with Indian chutney for a spicy evening indeed…

We all like to eat healthy for sure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t spice up your menu once in a while! This “cheat” meal is still balanced out by enough veggies to keep you on track!
