| I am a holistic mom because: I needed to find my tribe. I needed to surround myself with women who's beliefs were in rhythm with my own. When I have a question, a wanted to be able to trust the answers because our basic beliefs stemmed from the same place. I honestly needed to hang out with people that can be as weird as I am and not think twice about it. :)
My holistic passions are: Healing, food, birth, breastfeeding, attachment parenting and beyond, raising intuitive children that trust their instincts, friendships that are real and without judgment, living in a spiritually connected way that might be a blend of many different traditions. What inspires you about HMN or holistic living? The sheer force of information in the hands of powerful women. I feel like I have everything I need in my one little community. Whether it's nutrition advice, help with a legal concern, a business question or growth in a relationship, I can find someone in HMN that will guide me with love and a gentle spirit so that I don't have to become the expert in all areas.
One of my favorite healthy recipes: Sautéed veggies with ground beef and seasoning. It's simple and it's what's for dinner more often than not. Even the girls help with this one. Brown grass-fed ground beef with the seasoning of your choice. Sauté peppers, tomatoes, onions, mushrooms, zucchini and spinach, Kale or Chard with salt and pepper. Mix together with the meat and fill their bellies.
