pecan, dried cherry, dried pomegranate & (honey)

I say (honey) because many people who choose not to eat animal derived ingredients will not use honey.  So, for those people I encourage the use of brown rice syrup and/or agave as substitutes.  I love this combination of flavors, it’s a very wholesome taste.

Ingredients:
1 C cooked oatmeal
2 T dried Trader Joe’s pomegranate seeds
1 T pecans, chopped
1-2 T dried cherries
1-3 t honey, agave or brown rice syrup

Directions: Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!

mOMent: Take a moment to think about the air around you, the weight of it, the texture of it, the contents of it.  Is it heavy or light?  Is it still or moving?  Does it have an aroma?  Does it seem different to you when you stop and notice what you’re breathing?  How is it different?
