The art & science of choosing happiness 😃
How to create your own happy hormones? Plus a truly inspiring podcast & hiking retreat pics.
Hello my beautiful friends,
Life is a gift!
I feel the most profound gratitude for life, for breath, for the senses, for the ability to appreciate the divine beauty in this world. And I am not talking about living in lalaland. I am talking about seeing the beauty even amidst the adversity. How we perceive the challenges holds an important key to joy and genuine wellbeing.
Our mood is usually effected by external circumstances. But do you realise that you might have more power and control over your mood than you might think?

The science of being pleasantly happy
This week Rich Roll has posted a super inspiring podcast with Dr Laurie Santos, an inspiring professor from Yale. Thanks to her research and deep wisdom she combines the art and science of happiness so beautifully. They look at what happiness is and how to make the shifts in perception that can lead to a truly fulfilling life. Highly recommended…
My plant-based hiking retreat last weekend…
We enjoyed the most delightful weekend here in South Wales, with de-e-e-elicious food, new friends made. Joy, joy, joy!
Please note: As well as being a plant-based chef, I am also a qualified hiking leader. If you would like me to hire me privately, or host your group on retreat, feel free to drop me a line…
Coming next week…
What to do with beetroot greens???
Next week, I’ll be sharing the most delicious recipe for using up beet greens (can also use spinach, kale or any greens). This is a mushroom & beet green medley with a cashew, ginger & turmeric sauce. Super easy too!!!
Thank you for tuning in.
Until soon!
Love & plants
