A Path for Healing People & Planet
We truly, literally, are what we eat. I invite you to pause a moment and let that sink in.
Food is not only the fuel that makes your body run, what you eat forms the building blocks for your cells, for your child’s cells. Our babies, our children are what they eat—physically, mentally and emotionally—literally made of what we give them or allow them to eat.
Once we really understand this—witness the truth of it—we will see every food choice with new eyes. We will clearly see food as energy, as fuel, but also as forming and regulating every cell in our body—as immunity boosters and powerfully healing and sustaining.
We’ll want our food and our children’s food—including snacks, treats, holiday favorites—to have the most light and life force possible and the sugar-filled, chemically-loaded faux foods will no longer have power over us, no matter how skillfully they market to us, no matter how deceptively they are packaged.
We all deserve new traditions based in health and the true happiness that results from eating well—the joy that comes from an empowered life, caring for our bodies and our planet, too. -LeAnn Brown, excerpt from l&l life. Read the full post here: Do they really have us that spellbound?

Join us for our 2nd Group Work Day at the Garden!
Everyone is invited to join us at the Community Children’s Learning Garden located on the south end of the Mt. View Elementary football field (9th and Logan).
This will be our second work day at the garden. This time we will be focusing on planting a variety of seeds and starts throughout the garden.
Thank you to the kids of Mt. View Elementary for their artwork and requests! The number one request was sunflowers, with strawberries as a close second! We will be planting these and much much more. Come see your ideas come to life.
Join us for as much or as little time as you’d like!
UPDATE:
Come at 2pm to paint rocks for the garden!
We have a special treat this work day! We are so lucky to have Sherry Weston Thayne from Sherry Weston Art joining us for a garden craft!
Please bring your own water bottle (there is water on-site), snacks if you’d like, gloves, small or large shovel. And, if you can’t bring anything – please bring yourself and a can-do attitude! ~Kassadi Dunn
