Riches of Simplicity: Canada's Food Guide

http://richesofsimplicity.blogspot.com/2013/12/canadas-food-guide.html

View my complete profile. Sunday, December 15, 2013. When I was younger, Canada's Food Guide seemed to be considered by many around me as the epitome of nutritional information. I was fascinated by it, especially while learning which foods fit into which category. It was a good learning tool for exploring the basics of food-categorization and for learning the importance of nutrition. Among my primary guides today are http:/ www.nutritiondata.com.

Riches of Simplicity: Death

http://richesofsimplicity.blogspot.com/2013/11/death.html

View my complete profile. Saturday, November 23, 2013. The next 24-48 hours may be the last for the father of one of my daughter's friends. I dedicate this post to her. There's an inner shift that happens when you know that someone close to you, someone. You care for, is dying. It changes the way you think and feel. And there's a completely different depth to the time. You spend with your loved one. When my Nan died, I was with her. I was at the hospital as she was brought in. I was there.

Riches of Simplicity: Light

http://richesofsimplicity.blogspot.com/2013/11/seeing-through-desperation.html

View my complete profile. Saturday, November 02, 2013. Today I came across this draft that I hadn't posted last year. I remember that I'd considered deleting it last year. Today I realized how pertinent it is to my present journey:. Last week, I was sitting in a closet-sized room at a hospital lab where the only view included the three bathroom-stall walls around me and the empty wall on the other side of the corridor. Against the wall was a metal shelf unit on wheels, housing folded hospital gowns.

Riches of Simplicity: Lake-aholic me

http://richesofsimplicity.blogspot.com/2013/12/lake-aholic-me.html

View my complete profile. Sunday, December 08, 2013. I wish I could do justice in showing the lake in its splendor: the textures of the frozen ripples of water, snow and ice; the subtle shifts in shades of blues and greys and whites. One of many nature-made quinzhees along the shoreline. I continue to be in awe of the wonders of beauty when I look out over the lake. There. Are so many shades in the sky and across the snow and ice. I remain grateful and inspired. Posted by Our World. Some Of My Paintings.

Riches of Simplicity: Holiday Treats

http://richesofsimplicity.blogspot.com/2011/12/holiday-treats.html

View my complete profile. Thursday, December 22, 2011. I was reminded this morning that there are folks looking for quick and easy gfcf holiday recipes. At our house, quick and easy is a favourite when it comes to treats. I've done quite a bit of experimenting with food to find what works for my son's needs as well as our finances. Here are some of our favourite sweets. Drop by spoonful onto waxed or parchment paper and enjoy! Alternative 1: I usually put a couple of drops of peppermint extract into the ...

Riches of Simplicity: Morning Shift

http://richesofsimplicity.blogspot.com/2013/12/morning-shift.html

View my complete profile. Monday, December 02, 2013. Fall of 2013 has been the first season in his entire life when my son has been consistently getting up on his own in the mornings (and not at 4am as in years gone by) and getting dressed and ready for the day independently. I'm very proud of him. And very healing for the body, mind, and soul. This morning's first breakfast started with a pumpkin smoothie (frozen,/cooked pumpkin, banana, hemp hearts, water, chia seed, dehydrated kale, dehydrated spinach...

Riches of Simplicity: The Pleasures of Pumpkin

http://richesofsimplicity.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-pleasures-of-pumpkin.html

View my complete profile. Thursday, November 28, 2013. The Pleasures of Pumpkin. Mmmm Simple, nutritious, chock-full of healthy stuff.. For hours on end, grinding some down into a powder. Then I learned that pumpkins, like tomatoes, actually have some sort of additional nutritional benefit when cooked so I baked the rest and filled the freezer with orange goodness. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how many seeds small pumpkins could hold. They're packed! And what a great, low-cost food item!

Riches of Simplicity: Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera

http://richesofsimplicity.blogspot.com/2013/10/coconut-oil-ive-been-using-coconut-oil.html

View my complete profile. Thursday, October 31, 2013. Coconut Oil and Aloe Vera. I've been using coconut oil regularly for about a year now and am still impressed by its versatility. Coconut oil feels so good on skin. When I first started using it, I overdid the amount and thought coconut oil was greasy because of it. Eventually I learned that it doesn't take much coconut oil and it doesn't take much time for skin to drink in all that goodness. Who knew that such a tiny amount could go so far! Simple the...

View my complete profile. Wednesday, January 04, 2012. Wispy, angled points and soft elastic waist. Upcycled from a curtain. I found an airy white curtain at the thrift shop, trimmed the edges into pixy wisps, slipped a soft elastic into the curtain rod sleeve, and stitched up the back. Very simple with only very basic cutting and sewing skills required. Layers of netting tied onto a soft elastic waist. Upcycled from mosquito netting. Next to no sewing skills required.

Riches of Simplicity: Choices

http://richesofsimplicity.blogspot.com/2013/11/choices.html

View my complete profile. Monday, November 25, 2013. I choose to see beauty. I believe part of that is intrinsic and part of that is conscious choice. We can choose to carve out all sorts of good stuff in our life whether we're feeling sad, happy, angry, etc. Where is our energy? Is it inner peace? Yes Is it possible to easily tap into a sense of happiness even when there's nothing different happening that would "cause" the happiness? Posted by Our World. Wed love to hear from you!
