All About LOVE and Nature


Nurturing Nature


My attempt at poetry.... if the words don't rhyme it's not poetry for me.


Nature Love

I love fluffy clouds
As they float on by.
 I love the azure blue
Of the day lit sky.

My love is for wildflowers,
Beauty of my dreams,
My love is for the musical babble
Of fast moving streams.

I so love the birdsong
In mornings so cool.
I so love the coldness
Of a deep mountain pool.

Scudding cloud beauty,
Wildflower spread,
Running water babble,
Brings peace to my head.
                   Carol Young 2015

Stopping to smell the flowers sometimes makes one focus on other beautiful things around and about.

Loving Life and Laughter

A loving Legend


Legends say that the hummingbirds float free.
They carry our hopes for love, joy, and celebration.
The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that
life is rich, beauty is everywhere, and every 
personal connection has meaning,
and that laughter is life's sweetest creation.

We need to find beauty in all things we see 

.... most of all in nature and people we meet.

 We need to share the beauty in ourselves 

in every connection we make with others.

Life is definitely rich and it's ours for the taking.

Treasures In The Garden

Life is an adventure, an experience......


The adventure of life
is to learn.
The purpose of life
is to grow.
 The nature of life
is to change.
The challenge of life 
is to overcome.
The essence of life
 is to care.
The opportunity of life
is to serve.
The secret of life 
is to dare.
The spice of life
is to befriend.
The beauty of life
is to give.

....... too short.... so.. enjoy!

My word for today"EXPERIENCE!"

Healthy Living With Nature

More of the good stuff

In 2013 we went to Singapore to holiday with Christian and Bek. That was where the next phase of our HEALTHY LIVING began. We learned to make our own DAIRY FREE MILK, GREEN SMOOTHIE, and CHIA MOUSSE.

  

Making Chia Mousse:

Utensils:
! teaspoon, 1dessertspoon, 1 tablespoon
! 1/4 cup measure, 1 sifter or sieve
! glass or ceramic jug, 1 plastic coated hand whisk

The ingredients: 
Raw Cacao powder 
natural / organic vanilla essence
Natural/ organic honey
Organic Chia seeds
2 1/2 cups almond? cashew/ oat/ rice/ coconut milk
( these can be bought at the organic shop or health food department
or make your own) recipe in a recent blog

Method:
Place 21/2 cups of milk into your jug 
Sift 1 dessertspoon of raw cacao powder into your jug( Whisk)
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla (Whisk)
Add 1 tablespoon honey and whisk again
Add1/3 cup chia seeds whisk again. Then whisk 3or 4 times at 
intervals so mixture won't glug. Then cover and refrigerate- ready
for use. Give another mix when about to serve up.

Kids find this yummy for breakfast or as a dessert. Sometimes
 I add prunes, but any kind of fruit would be nutritious and delicious .

 (It's a great way to get GOOD food into children's tummies without a lot
 of fuss.)

And along with this we teamed a green smoothie.


Making a green Smoothie  


Utensils  A BLENDER that is about 600 watts. Below that still works , but they break down after continual use. We have a Kenwood. My sisters have Ultra Bullet and my chiropractor uses a Ninja), some LONG GLASSES, fresh mint to serve


( Our Recipe)

A handful of ice

Natural yoghurt 
crushed almonds,
maca powder
camu powder,
fresh Kale( chopped)
cup of water
Place altogether in your BLENDER and whizz it up. YUM!

Lots of recipes in "30 days smoothie challenge" (see link on "In The Kitchen" page.http://youngshope.productsthatfascinate.com ) More recipes in PINTEREST.

We love what the BLENDERS can produce.

Have FUN CREATING!

Gardening Gabble



To Nurture a Garden:

 

is to not just to feed the body.......

 The glory of gardening:
hands in the dirt,
 head in the sun,
heart in nature.

.......but feed the soul as well.

Sharing with Nature


Treasures In The Garden

Take time to look around ourselves .........

In the garden
nature will share
her secrets of peace,
 calm and serenity.

and enjoy the beauty that nature shares with us for free.

 

My word for today is "NATURE!"

Accumulating Wealth

Treasures In The Garden

 

Accumulating material things.......

 

Focus in on non-material values
and their amazing benefits.

Enjoy the beauty of a sunset/ sunrise.
Forget watching television.

Look after our health
 -take a walk
-play with children.

Recognize that consumerism
does not improve our own well being,
or that of our nation

.......has camouflaged the riches

we have within ourselves, in our country and in nature.
