A BEAUTIFUL PLACE

Last week, I spent two days in Sedona, Arizona with my mother…
It was everything I imagined it to be,
breathtaking, breathtaking, breathtaking.
Again, I was blessed with amazing weather,
high 70’s and sunny!!
Rainy or cold weather can completely ruin a vacation,
that’s why I was so thankful for the perfect temperature!

Sedona is a quick drive from Phoenix,
so I am quite ashamed I finally trekked my way north six months after I moved here!
I waited way too long to experience Arizona at its finest!
Now I will be dragging Malcolm to Sedona in the next month or two.
…I will also be dragging him to this vegetarian restaurant my mom and I discovered,
ChocolaTree Organic Eatery.
It’s soy-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, GMO-free!!
How does that even exist right!??!!?
Well it does.
and I had NEVER tasted food so ALIVE and FRESH in my entire life!!!!!!!!
It’s so hard to describe what I mean by ALIVE,
but that’s the only word that feels right,
yet completely wrong at the same time.

here is my favorite meal from ChocolaTree,
the Mediterranean wrap:

This man was sitting HIGH on this rock, near an energy vortex,
playing an indian flute.
it was SO beautiful to sit in nature and have that background music…

It’s so easy to feel small in this world….
so I found that standing on a mountain is empowering!!!!
