If I knew then what I know now.

There are discoveries about yourself and life that you can only learn when you experience certain seasons. Until you go through challenges yourself, you really have no idea. You think you do though. You always see the world through your own glasses, eyes, truths and wisdom.

Take parenting for example. Let’s be honest. We don’t have a clue about what we are doing. Nor should we. We’ve never been a parent to that particular child before. And there is NO one who knows them like you do. And life now is totally and utterly different than when we were little. Home work on screens … man what is the world coming too. Really? Where are the sweet wafts of new paper, the ink splattered fingers and the scrumpled homework sheets at the bottom of the bag gone? Mmm maybe things will come back around? There’s definitely a whole new crowd of makers, creatives, people who want to do things differently emerging. That excites me. Infact, next week I will be visiting the Artytime in Crowborough, which essentially allows you to pay an annual fee to browse their donated scrap. I love to forage for materials, it is so inspiring and so brilliant that it won’t be packed in landfill. Perhaps it will make something beautiful instead?

On another note, I’ve been taking a keen interest in working out what foods are going to keep me healthy. I don’t know if it’s because I’m feeling a little bit older these days… there are defo some bingo wings emerging! Time goes way quicker than you think. And what you busy yourself with forms you. One lifestyle change seems to be to eat more plants, for more variety, less rubbish. Apparently it’s good for our gut microbiomes. Who knew! Anyways you can download my free poster for your fridge to help you, buy and eat more plants! I’ve left some more space at the bottom of the list for you to write your own go to veg in. Like cauliflower … oh my. I love a cauliflower curry!

You can download this for free on my website.

Enjoy!
