Letters to the New Year:
dearest new years,
your rays reflect so strongly off the snow i can see into myself.
thanks for the update,
jessica

dearest new years,
what are you but new soil to plant myself in?
sprawling scratchlings within my journal have become seeds
such i have planted in your soil
i know they need tending…
will there be a harvest at the end of the year?
a distribution of my own being?
jessica
. . .
dearest new years,
i have to remember
that the most important step in filling this void is
truly deeply loving my, self
with, out comparison
i will become what i feed
i will bloom from what i have already affirmed
until if there should be a next letter,
jessica

Breakfast Couscous
Thy, self!
- 1 tea cup filled with milk* or water (mine being half flax milk, half water)
- half a tea cup filled with raisins
- 1 heaping spoonful of nut butter
- pinch of salt
- half a tea cup filled with Moroccan couscous
- half a tea cup filled with blanched almond slivers
Brink milk, nut butter and raisins to a boil in a small saucepan. Add remaining ingredients and continue to boil for one minute longer. When plump and steaming, eat right from the pot with a wide spoon. Or be civil and set in bowl with perhaps a smaller spoon.
*If using an alternative milk I would recommend flax as it holds up fairly well when heated. I’ve had perils with almond, separating and then just to make sure I got the picture, going sour. I’ve never tried hemp or oat, or coconut for that matter! Be what may. I lesson will be learned in the end anyhow! But you know, regular milk will do wonders!
