Mat as Mirror

Parmesan Roasted Green Beans Recipe

By

I love Roasted Green Beans a lot because boiled or mushy green beans don’t have great taste (in my opinion though).

Guided meditation: The Safe House

By

Everyone wants to have a sense that they can be safe. Secure. Protected. They want a place where they can unwind and completely relax. Exhale the day away.
