I caught up on some much needed sleep last night with the help of some tea I picked up at work. Tea has become a big part of my life in sobriety. I would say my collection could rival anyones liquor cabinet. After my trip my internal clock was all messed up. It had me falling asleep too earlier, waking up in the middle of the night for a spell and then back to bed and up again all groggy. It was a roller coaster of lethargy and I was done with it it. I brewed a cup of sedative tea and TKO! I was knocked out cold. Amazing. The tea is a powerful blend of lavender, skullcap, passionflower and valerian root. Herbs man, they work! I prefer an herbal remedy over western medicine any day. I get that from my mother and I am grateful for it. I love and rely on a lot of teas we make at work. I drink our Flower Power tea for my sexual health. The blend itself is really beautiful and it tastes great. Red raspberry, Nettles, Hibiscus, Calendula, Vitrx berries, Linden flowers and Chamomile. Our Adrenal support tea got me out of a doctors office and back into my life. Now it has completely replaced coffee for me. Not that the transition was easy, I love coffee. I learned to love Nettles, Oatstraw, Rosehips, Borage, Licorice, Wild yam, Schisandra, Red Clover and Stevia though. Soon these teas will be available online I will put them up here on a resource page I have been working on. Until then..

Day 210: Roasted sweet potato, ghee, yogurt, basil pesto (another win for herbs), avocado, fried farm egg and some malibar spinach from my garden. If I had a little breakfast diner I would put this on the menu. It really hits every note. Earthy, sweet, a bit tangy, fatty, filling, fresh, simple and just kinda unexpected.
