Red Lentil Soup

October 29, 2013 · 2 Comments

Red Lentil SoupMy third week of the 28 mind and body challenge is slowly coming to an end, just as I begin my half marathon training. I feel energized and whole again. The cravings, well when all you see is candy and Halloween treats, it’s a challenge overcoming those, but I’ve stay dedicated and found healthy alternates to satisfy my sweet tooth. The three-day Flair-A-Fair craft fair this past weekend, the last event and busy time at work, which is why I knew I had to stay on top of my clean eating, even though my schedule prevented me from coming home to eat a healthy meal.

I made a large batch of this perfect warming fall soup to help me stay satisfied while on the go. It’s not the first soup I’ve made lentils the star ingredient, this one is one of my favorite summer soups. The red lentils in just one cup of this soup contains just 200 calories, but as an excellent source of fiber, it’s a great way to keep your digestive system running smoothly when everything seems to be getting more hectic. Quick, simple, and comforting, that’s what a healthy fall soup should be.

I’ve never been one to connect with the color pu I’ve never been one to connect with the color purple much, & yes I believe everyone connects to colors in certain ways. And yet, Clematis are some of my favorite flowers🌿

For a brief few Spring days each year, the garden is a vision of purples....deep rich violets that almost look black, their sheen like velvet, delicate lavenders & pretty mauves that flutter in the breeze. Nature is a true delight for the soul🤍

They’re calling for a too hot, too soon kind of weekend, but we’ll be surrounded w. love celebrating a special wedding at a lovely location! Hope this weekend brings you moments of rest & joy, that allow you to look at all that is blooming🌱…
tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight tiny joyous things🌿 ... I try not to lose sight of the fact I get to create & "work" w. beautiful flowers; one of the things I love so much & one of the joyful parts of creating & sharing my work w. others. But this whole social media thing is weird right, the world is weird & broken right now -- as creatives seems like are new age question is "do I post this pretty picture when this is really happening right now?! but it's also kind of my job to put my work out there for others to see, right?!" ... but I’m learning, funny enough, by some inspiring women on this platform, it's ok to feel all these things while also sharing the joyous, cool & helpful things we are all working on, creating & hoping to bring into this world. Life is filled w. beautiful & sad moments, happiness, joy, grief, fear, doubt, love. All the tiny things🤍

& if anyone watched last night's This is Us, how beautiful was their telling of one's final moments, looking back at life. Ugh my heart😢
There’s one word to describe the first full even There’s one word to describe the first full event of the season…ethereal🤍

Event season is in full swing & it’s nice to finally step aside from planning to bring all the ideas, time & details to life!
“We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, “We are like {blossoms}; holding on, letting go, rising & falling into our weathered souls…” - Angie Weiland-Crosby🌼

May is the start of a busy few months of events, so I’m going to make sure I prioritize Rest whenever I can. But also plenty of garden days, living & cherishing simple moments — because when the busy days will feel like a blur or the state of the world (big/small) only adds to the mental drain, I know these will be the things that keep me going🤍
