Written and posted by Jackie Olmstead, March 22, 2022– I think it’s time we make peace with our physical bodies. Whaddya think about that? I know it’s time for everyone to do this… whoever is ready, of course. This isn’t an easy task, I know. It shouldn’t be hard, but in our world and era…
Written and posted by Jackie Olmstead, March 7, 2022 – We all have some kind of guidance system inside our hearts. Maybe it was someone from our past perhaps that showed us the way to do things the way that were “right” according to the way that they were brought up. Our compasses inside our…
So when we are wanting some goal–for example, to go whole foods plant based (a very worthy goal) and we are overwhelmed by how big it seems, I am reminded by taking things one step at a time.
Perhaps this week you can focus on converting just your milk to plant based milks. Perhaps it’s that for breakfast you will expand your palate to WFPB (whole foods plant based).
It’s super easy when you do it like that. And when that one step is done and you can say, “I’ve got that.” or “ok done! What’s next?” then you can do the next step. Maybe then it’s when your goal is so much closer than when you first discovered that going WFPB was the best thing for you and your family.
Written and posted by Jackie Olmstead, February 20, 2022– Something clicked in my head today while I was at the gym: “NO ONE can do it for you, Jackie. You are here to do YOUR thing. You’re an adult, right? You can do ANYTHING! You can do the stuff you dream of.” You know, for…
Written and posted by Jackie Olmstead, December 4, 2021 – I saw a great image today of what my life situation feels like. Every day I look to my guides and the universe around me to help put into the physical what it is I am facing. Everyone has their own way of consulting that…
(The big step between I can’t and I won’t is here, knowing WHY to switch) You can buy it from the stores OR you can make your own EVEN if you don’t have a Vitamix/Blentec blender. Secret to making your own: Always soak nuts/seeds overnight, drain really well, FREEZE in bags. After frozen, smash it up with your old meat tenderizer (flat side) or hammer (gently). Then it’s always measurable. Most of the time you can use a 1:4 ratio depending on your preference. Lately I’ve been using a 1:5 ratio (i.e. 1 cup nuts and 5 cups filtered water).
What are your feelings about the possibility of there being a shortage of good or loss of electricity, connectivity? We truly won’t know until it happens. Panicking about it is not healthy and if we can just get our mindset into gear about the fact that we do the best we can to prepare for life stuff in general. If it’s that we need to get our “supplies” updated and stocked up but with the determination that we are simply taking care of ourselves and our loved ones, awesome. My feelings are that it doesn’t hurt at all to do some stocking up with pantry items, toiletries, etc but to not do it out of fear.
Good luck to you and let me know if you put together some bowls for your family. This is only one example of being able to create a master meal from some of your favorite ingredients around your kitchen.
Published on 9/9/2021 by Jackie Olmstead — Good afternoon, my friends! I recently had a wonderful conversation with my good friends about how I am feeling regretful about not being as on “top of” my writing or business goals. So actually, upon reflection, I have been doing so many other things in the background to…
Published August 7, 2021 by Jacqueline Olmstead What it used to be like I’m not sure what medicines they gave me when I was diagnosed with asthma at 6 months old in 1968, but I do remember having to use inhalers, the breathing nebulizer and taking steroids, theophylline and theodur by pill in the 1970s. …
