Smelling old books, woodstove fire, and the feel of soft pages

There is something so intoxicating about the smell of old books - and my FAVORITE old book finally arrived! I was in Mr. Loomis' class in 2nd grade, sitting on the floor, completely enthralled in the story of the peasant traveler who came to bring community to a needy village. Even as a young girl, something about that story resonated with me on such a profound level.

The man had nothing to give but his ability to help them to drEEm. hehehe And in the end, not only did he show them how to fill their bellies, but he gave them the "soup stone" so that they could duplicate their efforts again and again.

I'm on day 7 of this detox, and this was the PERFECT way to spend my afternoon - eating clean, sauna relaxation, bathing in childhood memories by the fire.

It's so important that while you're on a detox, you find the space to just relax. Be calm. Stretch your body and mind gently. Soak in the stress-free zone.

If you want to relax with me, I'm happy to read Stone Soup to you on this video. Find a comfortable chair, get cozy and warm, lay back, put your earbuds in, hehehe close your eyes and drift off, if you like!
