Full Moon Ritual
One of my most loved full moon rituals is to fill a glass with water and place it outside overnight to absorb the energy of the moon. In the morning - drink it slowly and embody the magical essence ~ satiable and energizing ♥

Wild violets with their heart-shaped leaves are beautiful and have been the inspiration for much folklore, art. and poetry
Violets are also a great source of nutrients and remedy? They can be ingested simply in a salad or as a tea, herbal infusion, syrup, jam, or yummy sweet candied flowers. I have included a couple of recipes below.
So the next time you are looking for a purple food for your rainbow try violets.

Avocado is one of my most favorite creations on the planet! It's absolutely delicious, nutrient dense, alkalanizing, and highly versatile -- you can even make ice cream and chocolate mousse with it. Bon Apetit!
