My Happy Mother's Day Open Letter To My Late Mother

My Happy Mother's Day Open Letter To My Late Mother 0

Dear Mom, my Sunflower!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MY QUEEN!

MY Swizzy! MY Ma G! I love you more than I can ever express! You're my best friend and I miss you everyday! Our hugs and how I would always come back for another one saying, "Okay Mom, last one" and still sneak another before leaving you! Our songs and how we would create a cool melody on the drop of a dime! Our car jams to Stevie Wonder, John P. Kee, Hezekiah Walker, The Funkadelics & Parliament! We had an amazing bonding experience in Cancun and I'm happy we got that week together! Remember I surprised you with floor seats to Stevie Wonder's Keys of Life Tour!? You had such a great time lighting up with every song! Happy I have that memory! I think and smile of the story you told me of being pregnant with me and dancing your butt off at a MC Hammer concert! You were life and the light you brought to any room will never be replaced but I'm happy to know I'm a piece of you. That smile! You inspire me and encourage me everyday! You are driving inspiration behind my natural wellness brand, business, and birthright missions to the people! An amazing mother and I couldn't think of anybody else doing a better job with an ambitious girl like me and I think I came out really good! I use many of the tools, wisdom and knowledge, resources you passed down to me and I love that! I'll keep continuing to accomplish all the things we talked about and I know you're my angel with me every step of the way being that motherly protection whenever I need it! Girl you are so beautiful and I love your spirit! I'll see you when I get there Mom! Until then keep reassuring me with your spirit pop ups cause your Gika needs them! Love you now as much as I always have and it continues to grow stronger! Gika & Swizzy Forever! 
 Always Your baby girl with Love,
Gika Mooonbeam!
Greening Me Down Veggie Burger [Recipe]

Greening Me Down Veggie Burger [Recipe] 1

Stay rising beautiful souls! I have one of my favorite quick veggie burger gems recipes I created and I want you to try and work it well in your kitchen! This fun and tasty recipe below from the Gigi Amanata Wellness Kitchen that's great just in time for your Spring Wellness Get Right! It can be customized any way you like feel free to add or replace an ingredient with whatever your taste buds desire!
Let’s balance!

Greening Me Down Burger

Greening Me Down Burger

-Favorite burger bun of your choice
-Living Butter Lettuce
-Organic Broccoli Floret Bunch
-Organic Leeks
-Purple Onions
---
-Organic Garlic Powder
-Organic Black Pepper
-Organic Bladderwrack Powder
-Organic Cayenne Pepper
-Organic Wheatgrass Juice Powder
-Raw Hemp Seeds
-Organic Grapeseed Oil or Organic Avocado Oil

 

*I cooked my dish ingredients in a cast iron skillet and wok.

 

Cut up your desired amount of Organic Broccoli florets into the size you wish to eat, I recommend to cut very small. Move cut Organic Broccoli into a bowl and sprinkle your desired amount of Organic Bladderwrack Powder, Organic Garlic Powder, Organic Cayenne Pepper, toss, and put it to the side.

 

Cut up your desired number of Organic Leeks strips into small square pieces. Move cut Organic Leeks into a bowl and sprinkle your desired amount of Organic Black Pepper, toss, and put to the side.

 

Cut up your desired amount of Purple Onion into small square pieces. Move the cut Purple Onion into a bowl and put to the side.

 

Heat up your selection size of oil or butter choice in your desired cooking pans, sprinkle a tsp of Organic Wheatgrass Juice Powder into the warming oil or butter of each pan, gently toss to mix evenly.

 

Evenly distribute and toss your chopped Purple Onion into both of your warming oil or butter. Let your onions simmer alone for 3 minutes, toss periodically.

 

Throw your seasoned cut Organic Broccoli florets into the pan and mix to evenly coat your veggies. Spread evenly in pan, cook and mix until it's to your taste buds destination. Transfer to food container.

 

Throw your Organic Leeks into the pan and mix to evenly coat your veggies. Spread evenly in the pan, cook and mix until it's to your taste buds destination. Transfer to food container.

 

Toast buns in pans and transfer to plates to dress your burger to your liking and don't forget to pull you off a few strips of Living Butter Lettuce and top off your Greening Me Down Tower with some Raw Hemp Seeds.

 

GREAT JOB at making a meal prep recipe for a green filled week when maybe salads aren't doing it or you want to try something new. If you're staying away from carbs then DITCH, the buns and just wrap your chef magic Greening Me Down Tower into some strips of Living Butter Lettuce for a tasty alternative super green wrap!
