Sacred Rest ￨ You Are Worthy

Are you tired? So am I! When our tank is low and we feel like we’re running on fumes, it’s time to pause and prioritize sacred rest. Rest is not a privilege reserved for a select few, it is an absolute essential for all human beings. Sacred rest is accessible, nourishing, and steeped in simplicity; it’s found in the quiet moments that feed our bodies and spirits. As we listen to the sounds of the night, consider your energy tank, are you running on empty? It may be time to center sacred rest in your life. What am I reading?The Rainfall Market by Yeong-Gwang translated Slin Jung https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593952665The Scandinavian Guide to Happiness by Tim Rayborn https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781951511210https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat’s playing on repeat?Don’t Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty and the HeartbreakersWhat’s for dinner?Creamy Chicken Orzo SoupIngredients:Olive oilButterAll purpose flourChicken breastOnionsGarlicCeleryCarrotsOrzoChicken brothCoconut milkHerbs de ProvenceSalt and pepperRed pepper flakes Instructions: Heat tablespoon of butter and olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
