Sunday Smoothies ~ Butternut Squash Smoothie

JANUARY 1, 2017

**WELCOME FIRST DAY OF 2017!**

Here is a sunny first day of the year smoothie for you.

I tend to not make many smoothies in the Winter months
as they can be too cold and my body wants hot soup to begin my day,
yes, hot soup for breakfast!

But if all of the ingredients
are at room temperature to start with,
this can be a delicious way to start your day
or as a pick-you-up in the afternoon.

Wishing you all the best for this new year ahead!

The Retiring of a Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

Labyrinths provide us with a path to practice change. Some labyrinths have withstood the passage of time for thousands of years. Others are here for just an afternoon, drawn in the sand at the edge of the ocean. Many modern labyrinths were meant to last for years, but because of unforeseen circumstances their time is shorter than intended. And they once again help us to practice letting go and giving thanks for the time they are with us. The Labyrinth of Life at the Sebastopol, California Teen Center reached such place of letting go and is at the end of one chapter and the beginning of another chapter that is yet unknown.

Making A Three Circuit Labyrinth

By Lea Goode-Harris • 05 Aug, 2023

Sometimes... a labyrinth can take years to become a physical reality. In 2018 I met with my friend Deb, to discuss her desire to have a labyrinth on the beautiful land she lives on. Despite our plans and several meetings, listening to the land and finding the right spot, the labyrinth did not come to fruition. Fast-forward five years and in the blink of an eye... it happened!
