    Should I feel ashamed? I am one who hides in fear, and one who hides in sadness. ⁣ ⁣ I hide instead of facing confrontation. I hide instead of watching the news. ⁣ ⁣ I hide in response to my emotions. I hide because I am depressed. I hide because my brain and body ask me to please give them some space. ⁣ ⁣ I hide because I am so compassionate that I hurt when others hurt.⁣ ⁣ Nothing I can say is “right”. Nothing I can do is “enough”. Nothing I feel is justified. ⁣ ⁣ Everything I do is wrong because right now I am hiding, and because I am privileged.⁣ ⁣ Should I feel shame? ⁣ ⁣ Am I not enough being exactly who I am?⁣ ⁣ I am someone who hides to cope.⁣ ⁣ I am writing this post for all of my fellow humans who are also hiding and reading posts that tell us we should be ashamed of ourselves for being quiet. I think we are enough just being exactly who we are. We are not the problem. We are who we are, and we are compassionate, loving beings. ⁣ ⁣ We all process things in our own way, and this is how it is for me.

    I want to express my sheer amazement and appreciation for a handcraftsman named Phillip, from appleblossomwoodworks, who made this gorgeous acacia butcher block. Eric ordered this custom cutting board for my birthday, and I feel gratitude every day I chop on it. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I feel so good knowing we were able to support a small business, and we got rid of the middle man (this 2-inch thickness would be priced $50-$100 more at a retail store). I highly recommend the incredible tables or butcher blocks from appleblossomwoodworks.⁣ This is not a sponsored post, just my way of showing appreciation. ⁣ ⁣⁣ The board is super heavy, so to clean it you simply wipe it with a damp cloth right after cooking, using a castile soap and water spray bottle to clean off strong-smelling foods like garlic and onion (sometimes I use a spray vinegar with baking soda if needed). I nourish and condition with board oils and conditioners to keep it richly colored and moisturized for a long life-span.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If you’re still reading this then you must understand my excitement! Makes an amazing gift for the home cook (take it from me, cooking is my favorite thing to do!). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #acaciawood #appleblossomwoodworks #handcrafted #notsponsored #supportsmallbusinesses #etsyshop #handmadegifts #butcherblock

    She’s the one who goes over the top for everyone else when it’s celebration time, and it feels so good to return the gesture. My Mom is one of the most creative, loving, fun, and thoughtful people I have ever known. She is the best cook, the best Mom, and she gave me the best family. Surprise! I love you Mom! cuisine648 ❤️🥳🥰⁣ ⁣ I’m feeling very grateful to share this incredible design by aniasz77. Thank you Ania for your beautiful work and spirit. It looks AMAZING! 🎈🌹

    Honest answers now... which type of eater are you now that you're at home most of the time (and bored or stressed out)?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I'm "C", balancing both—sure, I'm really health focused; but I'm not as focused on my diet as usual. It's been a constant teeter-totter experience I have to be conscious of, and it requires quite a bit of effort (but not as much effort as type A).⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Swipe to see what my snack-shelf looks like now...it's usually pretty bare, but the baskets are full these days. I'll list our go-to snacks in the comments below.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What about YOU? Type A, B, or C in the comments 👇 and let us know what it's been like for you.

    You’ve likely heard there’s a meat shortage that could get pretty serious for a lot of families and communities. Last night I spent about 45 minutes reorganizing my freezer because I received a new bulk order from sevensonsfarms…⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ When we placed this order, I thought to myself “Is this hoarding?” But then I realized, this is what we ALWAYS do in my house (the video and paper-wrapped meats are from JANUARY when we purchased 1/4 cow from a family farmer). We bought this extra freezer years ago, solely for bulk beef and meat purchases from local farms...⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ It’s been a value of mine for around 5 years now, and I stopped shopping for clothes and shoes so I could always shop for quality meat and food. I buy in bulk so we can save and always have variety (variety in nutrients, and in what we cook and eat).⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I felt sheer gratitude and pleasure while organizing the freezer—even though my hands were frozen through my gloves—because I know how blessed we are to have this extra space, this budget, this priority, and access to this regenerative farm and quality meat.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I also feel good knowing we can help family and neighborhood friends who may need the extra food (if the meat shortage affects them). ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ If you live in Northwest Indiana, or if you are my family or friend in Illinois, save this post and remember I am here for you if you need food. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ P.S. nearly an entire shelf is filled with bones and organs for the dogs and for making bone broth. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ #NoFoodWaste #SupportLocalFarms #Meatshortage #KnowYourFarmer #grassfedbeef #buyinbulk #PrimalHealthCoach #WiseTraditions #PastureRaised #regenerativefarm

    This is a list of the freezer items I stocked up on while we're basically on #lockdown. Keep in mind that I live in a rural area in Northwest Indiana, with no food delivery options except for two pizza joints, and we have an extra standing freezer typically stocked with pastured meats from sevensonsfarms...⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Are you wondering what's in my pantry? Check out my list from two posts back marisa_moon_⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ I am gluten-free and primal or paleo-ish, and I typically eat a lower-carb diet. If I had more time I would be making paleo/keto breads/pasta and treats homemade and freezing them. ⁣This will obviously save lots of money.⁣ ⁣⁣ Do you have questions about my list? ⁣⁣⁣ What's in yours that I don't have here?⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #shoppinglist #PrimalHealthCoach #FreezerList #SacredCow #regenerativefarming #grassfedbeef #supportlocalfarms #buylocal

    This was a special interview for me. You know him as the co-founder of whole30 and co-author of NYTimes bestseller #ItStartsWithFood. dallashartwig is on The Foundation of Wellness to talk about his new book, #The4SeasonSolution. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It couldn't be better timing with everything going on in the world at this moment.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This book, and this interview, is about finding BALANCE in your life; making small, yet significant changes to live in accordance with the seasons and what your biology expects from you.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In return, you find a deeper sense of PURPOSE, optimal health, and deep satisfaction.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Are you ready for more balance and fulfillment?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Listen to episode #79 on foundationofwellness_podcast.

    This is a list of the pantry items I stocked up on while we're basically on #lockdown. Keep in mind that I live in a rural area in Northwest Indiana, with no food delivery options except for two pizza joints...⁣ ⁣ My workload has remained the same, but my need for cooking has increased. I will be staying home for a long time to come, and only leaving for essential items, because my husband Eric works in the Emergency Room where he'll be regularly exposed to the #coronavirus.⁣ ⁣ My list includes many shortcut items like sprouted quinoa and lentils, and soaked beans that are pricier because I will be short on time, but we only cook these foods if they're prepared the old-fashioned way (soaked/sprouted = less toxins in legumes and grains). Save money by doing it yourself. Plenty of great advice for that at nourishedkitchen .com⁣ ⁣ I am gluten-free and primal or paleo-ish, and I typically eat a lower-carb diet. But, with a possible apocalypse, I had to get smart and stock up on bulk items like rice and beans. I also have plenty of organic extra virgin olive oil, organic lard/tallow, unrefined coconut oil and avocado oil, sea salt, and spices.⁣ ⁣ Do you have questions about my list? ⁣ Did I forget anything? ⁣ ⁣ #covid19prep #CoronavirusAmerica #CoronavirusTips #PantryList #PrimalHealthCoach #coronavirusprepping #Paleopantry
