Thanks to Brandon Brazier and his lovely book The Thrive Diet for introducing me to the recipe for these energy bars and thank you to Hanli for first showing me the book (sometimes I take a while to learn lessons, hehe).

I basically used the first energy bar recipe as a base and then added my own tasties to suit me. Added shelled hemp seeds and LOADS of Maca powder, as well as some cranberries, sultanas, sunflower seeds, raisins and a few other tasties.

Can’t believe I somehow thought I needed to make eighty bars rather than forty! Ten days, four bars a day…FORTY bars Nathan! Hehe, have to laugh, I had fun anyways:)!

No-one told me snow fell so silently, brought silence with it, coated everything in silence, left silence in its wake. The silence allows space for the One, the I to observe, unobstructed by the surface chattering of ego self. All that is left is this gentle love, this silent and slightly amused awareness. Nice:)

Here I am mere days away from my next adventure! Last night I made myself a test batch of raw energy bars, using Brandon Brazier’s recipe from his book the Thrive Diet as a guideline and then adding my own stuff to it (hemp seeds, maca, sultanas). Had to use my blender as a food processor which is always interesting, because too fast and you’ve got baby food. Suffice to say…they turned out AMAZING, yay!Now I only have to make another seventy of them and I’ll be all good to go, hehe.

I have a black garbage bag full of clothes, shoes and items I’m letting go of. I’m streamlining my possessions. Discarding layers of material baggage, allowing myself to be light and flexible again. This is what it means to float, to drift like a seed on the wind, floating in trust until the time is right to settle in the Earth and let roots discover life beneath the surface.

So Nathan, what are you doing with your life?
