Shed Comparison ￨ Enter the Horse

The Year of the Snake is coming to a close. This is the perfect time to shed that outgrown skin. We must let go of the old, heavy energy holding us back if we’re going to meet the fast-moving energy that the Year of the Horse is bound to bring. One of the greatest drains on our energy comes from comparing ourselves to others. Every time we measure our worth against someone else, we snuff out our own light.

Let the shedding begin! What am I reading?The Witch’s Daughter by Paula Brackston https://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781250004086Be More Owl: Life Lessons from our Feathered Friends by Alison Davieshttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781837834068https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat’s playing on repeat?Violet by Hole What’s for dinner? Fiber Fueled Sweet Potato Ingredients:Baked sweet potatoProtein of choice - plant based “meat”, grind chicken/beef, shredded rotisserie chicken, fried egg, beans Cheese of choiceGreen Veggie of choice: broccoli, kale, spinach, Swiss chard etc.Red/orange/yellow veggie: bell peppers, tomatoes, cornToppings: guacamole, salsa, hummus, crunchy chili oil, Greek yogurt, sour cream Fermented add-on: kimchi, pickles, sauerkraut, pickled beets/carrots/onions Fresh herbs of choice Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
