Grandma’s Cooking: Cherise, A Family Recipe

 
As a child, I loved food. I would always be pointed out for my large appetite and that's not something I've ever been ashamed to say. 
 
Food is life. 
 
Food is something that brings people together. I grew up in a big family, so our meal times were always hectic, but memorable. My great grandmother was from Portugal and she spoke very little English. Anytime I would have anything on my plate, she would say eat, eat, eat, you are too skinny. And so I did.

Through the Eyes of an Educator: Normalize Rest

In my teenage years, I remember clearly going to a friend’s house and finding her Dad in his favorite chair, resting his eyes in front of the television. I remember thinking, why is he always napping whenever we’re over? Little did I know then that his napping wisdom was far superior to mine. 

Sure, when we’re tired, we might rest, but for many of us, that zeal to be productive usurps our consciousness and a voice of should screams, “there’s something else we should be doing,” so the rest often falls by the wayside. Bob was right.

Religious Refugees

The plight of religious refugees is a pressing issue in today’s world. Refugees often face harrowing journeys and uncertain futures. Some flee to neighboring countries for hope of sanctuary, even if temporary. Some are forced to leave home but are forced to stay in their homeland, as they do not have the resources to leave. Some make it to Western countries and willingly face unfamiliar circumstances and cultures just to feel safe.

India is a diverse country, with numerous famous places. One place that I love to mention is Bhakti Hindu Temple, which is in Kunda, Pratapgarh, India. It was founded by Jagadguru Kripalu Maharaj Ji in 2005. This temple is very famous for its beautiful scenery and artistry.

Land-Based Cultural Healing Camps and Why You Should Try It

Aanii, My name is Kadence and I am from Ontario, Canada. I would like to share my experience with Indigenous land-based cultural healing camps and how life-changing it was for me. These cultural practices are especially needed in smaller remote communities; because they are so isolated from the rest of society, they lack the privilege of good education, social opportunities, and new experiences. This can have a negative effect on the mental and physical health of people who live in these communities.
