The recent Fall Equinox brought us transition and change. From one season to another. From one cycle to the next. This brought to mind the significance of mindfully closing cycles.

If you have picked up a Time Magazine or New York Times newspaper anytime in the past year, you most likely have seen or heard something about of the Mindful Revolution sweeping the Western Hemisphere.

The night air was charged. Electricity bolted across the sky, and the houses rattled with the thunder. If you know me well, you know I quickly become giddy with excitement.

The saddest statement I have ever heard sounded something like this…“I am [a pessimist, realist or fill in the blank here]  because [fill in the blank] happened to me, and it’s just the way I view the world now. It’s who I am.”

Cooking is an experience that awakens and nurtures the whole house. Like preparing a sacred space for painting, preparing to cook in the kitchen is similar. I get the whole apartment ready for the process.

Sometimes we all need a reset button. Let’s face it. Things go stale, get off track or have come full circle to a completion. Life is designed to be a constant iteration of itself. Change is constant. When things get “stuck” it's life communicating to us that it is time to let something go.
