A BIT OF GRACE

Break free of the constant need to grade and rate everything. Most teachers’ response to anything new is to grade it, they are trained for judging in their jobs. When a person’s first response is to be critical, there’s no chance for change or growth in their life...

Fermented drinks and fermented foods have definitely improved my digestion and overall tummy comfort. I’m going to share a favourite fermented soda recipe I’ve had fun creating. It’s such a lively summer flavour, I thought you might enjoy it...

Have you ever had the opportunity to go berry picking? I’m not talking about the little packages of berries you’d pick up at the store. I used to do a lot of berry picking when I was young, and it was a favourite activity...
