Evening #Meditation:
In this time, I am falling in love again with what matters to me and my family the most. ✨
In this time I am falling in love again with time, the time to be still, the time to pause, the time when I get to catch my husband looking at me with adoring eyes, and that smile that makes me melt every-time. The time listening to my grandkids asking me the most interesting questions and the voice of my sons when they say, Ma, I love you. ✨
In this time I am falling in love again with how blue the sky is, all the beautiful colors of green that are springing up around me. ✨
In this time I am falling in love again with my God, the love and compassion of Jesus, prayer and meditation and my yoga practice.
✨
In this time I am falling in love again with what my mom and dad's many teachings about helping others where you again, how to stretch a dollar, no matter how many you have or don't have. ✨
In this time I am falling in love again with the power of community and our unsung heroes. My friendships, new and old. ✨
In this time we have been given the opportunity to practice falling in love again and again. Let's practice with every moment that has given to us.

Whispers of Silence excerpt;
💕💕💕
Something really amazing is happening right now. Miracles are happening, dreams are coming true, people are being healed, hearts are falling in love, heroes are being made, and prayers are being answered with “Yes!!” Where there is a “No,” there is a “Yes”. Where there is darkness, there is light. Where there is hate, there is love.
So I give my energy to the miracle, the dream, the prayer, the hearts that are falling in love, the healed, in spirit and body, the heroes, the yes, the light, the love. Whether it shows up in my personal life today or tomorrow, I will live in the happy now, whether it is yours or mine.
Whispers of Silence
Lisa Washington 🙏🏾 Just in case you need to hear this again or for the first time. I wrote this in my book "Whispers of Silence", on a day I was very ill and my doctors didn't know what to do for me. ✨
✨
I decided in my bed to sit up and close my eyes and see all the people in the world that was being healed, getting good news that they were cured, all the people in the universe that woke up feeling amazing. ✨✨
✨
I decided to allow myself to rest in that flow of energy and let it flood my energy field. I prayed, "God I connect to this energy now." In just minutes, I felt good in my body, my soul and mind. ✨✨
✨
Now it took me a few days practicing this and feeding my body and mind with what it needed, before I felt completely better fully in my body, but it worked.
✨✨
✨
Now I have been chronically ill from birth, so I get it. I know that healing starts in your mind, it starts in your soul. It's hard to practice plugging into the positive, when you have been plugged into the negative energy way too long. It takes practice, but it is possible, with God and connection, everything is possible, you just get to choose to unplug from what brings you unnecessary suffering, so let go, let God. Unplug!
When you want to make a little #antipasti board, but you don't have some good crusty, but soft on the inside bread and it's #vegan. You make it. #bread #dough #yum #bake #fromscratch #homemade
Easy Vegan Italian Herb Bread ( my vegan version adapted from Justtaste.com )
INGREDIENTS
* 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus a generous amount for kneading
* 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 tablespoon Italian herbs, or more, if you prefer
* 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1 cup vegan buttermilk/ 1 cup of non dairy milk and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar * 3 tablespoon olive oil, divided
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, herbs and salt.
Add the vegan buttermilk and 2 tablespoons olive oil and mix until combined, do not over mix.
Generously flour your work surface. Scrape the dough onto your work surface then sprinkle the top of it with additional flour. With very light pressure, turn the dough so that it is coated on all sides with flour then knead it a maximum of eight times. Shape it into a 6-inch domed round.
Transfer the dough to a nonstick baking sheet or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, cut a large "X" across the top then brush the top with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Bake the bread for about 35 minutes or until it is no longer doughy in the center. Remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool before slicing and serving.
