It's a good thing there are lots of Dandelions around. I left too much green on the flowers I picked this morning. I'll taste it non the less. Next time I will be much more careful and get the green off. This spiced version sounds lovely.... https://atraditionallife.com/dandelion-spice-tea/

Life is definitely worth the effort. My journey is up and down. I spend much more time in a good space. Thankfully I never drop so low as to be destitute. I never have. The reality for many isn’t so great though. ... Make sure to check in with each other. Don’t let your bubble wiggle out of interaction. Someone maybe really needs to hear your voice today or see you smile on a video call. This is a really open honest organization. Please share with anyone you think may need their support.

I’m going to try something new today, rather than mow the heads off. I just notice that the flowers close up if it’s raining. Yesterday they were all shut. It’s only taken me 55 years to let that land. Make sure to wash well before you start though. ... How to make dandelion tea at home: Place about two cups of clean dandelion in a sauce pan. Cover with about four cups of water. Bring water to a boil. Allow the tea to infuse for three hours or overnight. Strain out the dandelion and reserve the liquid for your tea. Dilute the tea with water if the flavor is too strong. There are lots of great benefits; I’ll let you research for yourself though. It’s fun to research, we have time right now.

Everything’s coming to life in my garden. No award winning photography. I couldn’t help sharing the vibrancy. I love the colours and the textures and how the rain droplets sit on the foliage. Make sure you stay hydrated too. Note: it’s much better for our bods to drink warm and room temperature water and herbal teas. ... I know that was corny but true non the less.

How did I miss this. I’d better make a few loaves.

Isn't this a beautiful meditation. Share with the littles in your life. A virtual bed time story would be a lovely way to connect.

My life is filled with puzzles right now. Puzzling has given me focus. It’s helping me with the building anxiety. I sit, I put pieces together and I breath. What to do? A question many of us are asking and have been asking this past year. ... Today I breath, listen to the rain and look forward to teaching the one of 2 online yoga classes I teach. Sending hugs out to everyone who needs one today. #clankindness #puzzles #quilting #scrappyquilt #yogaforquilters #jigsawpuzzles #fibromyalgia #spoonielife #aprilshowers #breathe #intuition #listen #focus

We had so much fun with Molly. She was a joyful addition to our family for over 14 years. A good girl. She was always waiting patiently on the stairs, tail wagging, for my students to arrive. May she Rest In Peace. ... I’m really visualizing she has regained her youth and is hoping around through the long grass again. Miss Molly Melville will be missed. #dogsofinstagram #clankindness #borderterriershitzu #family

Something fun to do outside.

Thanks for your support, both in person and online. Feel free to PM me about yoga and movement options that will suit your needs. I’m growing into teaching online. You can too.

I enjoy juniper in my Epsom salts bath soak blend. It’s my go to thing to do when fibro flare shows up.

It’s always best to run through the self assessment tool before heading out to class of a public space. Be safe everyone. https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/

Do you remember my excited post from late summer. The one where I heard the pipes when I was out walking. Now you can hear them too in a specially Robbie Burns concert. ... Posted @withregram @highlandcreekpipeband #robertburns #freeconcert #pipeband #scottishcanadian #clankindness #robbieburns #

I’m smiling and enjoying sitting in a fully organized, purged house. It’s taken me over 3 years to let go of some things and now it’s done. I did have some help for the final stage. I was very overwhelmed and anxiety was high. Of course I left what I considered the worst till the end. ... There is no shame in asking for help. It was well worth hiring someone who was a logical thinker and not attached to my stuff. In fact, I was able to sell my stuff and cover the cost. It’s well worth looking into getting some organizational help if you need it. Can you guess what’s in the jar. This was a timely find. It looks like rock sugar but in fact it’s Frankincense resin. I’ve been burning a wee bit every day. My house smells lovely. No more selling on local Facebook pages, donating or recycling for now. I can rest easy in my home. For a while anyway, although I’m already eyeing up a few things I could do without. I’ll be starting out the New Year with lots of space in my life. I had no idea the no essential stuff was taking up space in my head too. #cleansing #nohoarding #aparigraha #organizing #purging #homeorganizing #leparfaitjars #clankindness #chronicpain #fibromyalgia @organizedbyjules

The prettiest little nibbles for coffee time this weekend. These little bites came courtesy of @isabellaschocolatecafe. They were delicious. I hear they are opening up tomorrow again. ... Yes, this is a shout out to a fabulous local business. #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #tinytreats #coffeebreak #clankindness #adventcalendar

Monday is here once again. The second Monday of 2021. Did you blow your intentions already? ... Will you continue to do so, until next Monday or even February 1st? How about finding a comfy seat on a chair. Somewhere you can be without fidget. Ground through your feet. Feel the left foot in the floor, the feel the right foot, then both feet. Let you hands rest on your thighs. Feel the top of you head gently drawing you upwards out of any slouching. Close your eyes if it feels safe. Inhale......exhale. Repeat. Try and sit for a few rounds of breath. Whatever feels comfortable. There you go.......now you can start afresh. May you be happy May you be healthy May you live life with ease and in peace Repeat after me: May I be happy May I be healthy May I live life with ease And in peace #metta #breath #peace #stillness #breathe #focus #within #inhaleexhale #fibromyalgia #fibromyalgiaawareness #managinganxiety #managingpain #selfcare #motionislotion #healing #nojudgement #babysteps #yoga #meditationpractice #mindfulness #clankindness

Sigh, once again a broken toe. That’s 2 toes in 2 years. I might have to start wearing footwear in the beach and in the house. This will put a damper on my distance walking for a wee while. ... It won’t curb my purge of all purges though. I’m on the home straight. Ironically I tripped/kicked clutter waiting to be donated. My house is starting to feel restful. I can focus much better. #brokentoe #theconquerorchallenges #walking #hiking #nesting #gentleyogi #clankindness #declutter #purge #organize #niyamas #yamas

I over proofed overnight, but on the upside I’m getting a better handle on oven temperature. The temperature and humidity in the house is changing so I need to watch more closely. The process was a challenge this week. The starter took longer, I missed optimum on my first feed, second I watched more carefully. ... My gluten free starter, fed with buckwheat is nice and active. again slower though. My Monday bake is tasty and there was a decent rise during the 14 hr tin rest. As usual I added lots of seeds and a few dried cranberries. #sourdough #breadmaking #sourdoughbread #glutenfreesourdoughbread #seedybread #meditation #kitchenexperiments #kitchenaid #flours #clankindness

This is a great time to shop, but only if you need something. These are the products I use in my studio. A Canadian company.

Are you here? That hit home. Breath is our home, awareness of breath is the bridge from the chatter of the mind to being present. It’s the focus of all my classes. ... Would you like to join me every morning to sit and breathe together? I’ll be on Instagram every morning at 8:30 a.m. EST. I’m GentleYogi on IG. https://youtu.be/Fw0fZkBW7iM

It was so pretty walking through Heber Downs this afternoon. Friday we walked in T-Shirts today snow boots and winter coats. I love the quietness of walking in the snow. My winter goal is to get out in all weathers. ... #snowboots #snowfall #heberdown #ontariotrails #hiking #walking #winter #clankindness #fibromyalgiaawareness #chronicpainwarrior
