The Kale is a great liver and blood cleanser, while the mushroom mix are great immune boosters. The Leek (onion family) is also good for lowering blood pressure and boosting immunity.  The best part is that this soup tastes delicious!  Enjoy! Ingredients 6 cups of Water 1 Tbsp Miso Paste 1 Leek chopped 2 cups of Chopped Mushroom (Shitake, Maitake, Baby Portabella) 1 bunch of Kale (chopped) 1 tsp of each of the following spices: Thyme, marjoram, basil, oregano, rosemary) either fresh or dried Braggs Liquid Aminos Directions: Combine the water, miso paste, chopped leek, and spices and bring to a boil.  Add the kale in, and lower the stovetop temp to Medium.

Well, the holidays are over, now what? Do we allow the same people who were hungry during the holidays to go without daily meals because Christmas isn’t around the corner? Do we stop providing the unemployed or under-employed with financial support just because we no longer have the holiday spirit? I certainly hope not. Oprah Winfrey, an entertainment mogul and one of the greatest philanthropists has the true heart of a giver. She sees a need, opens up her wallet and gets major corporations to do the same. You may be thinking, “If I had as much money as Oprah I’d give away millions of dollars too.”  But it’s not just the money; it’s her love and attitude towards giving.

Self-love, not to be confused with conceit or selfishness, is in my professional and personal opinion one of the major factors in man’s (or woman’s) lovability. In other words I strongly believe that person is limiting themselves on how they can receive love from someone else if they don’t first learn how to love themselves. This may be a tough pill to swallow for some, but I encourage you to open up your mind and heart to receive this. We often read and hear of major ways to build our relationship with others, but we rarely focus on reason and ways to love ourselves. Here are a few reasons on why we should learn to love ourselves: •           If we learn how to properly love and appreciate ourselves, we’re more likely to truly see and appreciate when others do. •           We’ll be less likely to become needed of pats on the back and accolades, because we know our worth. •           We’ll have a better chance of [...]]]> http://drlifespeaks.com/2012/02/16/learning-to-love-yourself/feed/ 0 http://drlifespeaks.com/2012/02/15/self-love-through-acts-of-love/ http://drlifespeaks.com/2012/02/15/self-love-through-acts-of-love/#comments Wed, 15 Feb 2012 18:00:13 +0000 DrLifeSpeaks http://drlifespeaks.com/?p=1791 Sometimes we are so caught up in taking care of others that they forget to engage in the basic acts of self care. Today, take an hour to yourself; read, listen to some music, take a walk or even a nap.  Acts of self love are important for building the muscle of loving others.
