February is my birthday month and I take the whole month to celebrate a little at a time. This has been a month of accomplishments and epiphanies &#8211; my two favorite things! One of the biggest epiphanies was that perfection does not look like what we think it looks like. Perfection is not the absence of problems, the lack of challenges, or when everything is working exactly according to plan. Perfection, is when there is one or even a few things in the process of being created or solved to then be put on a growing pile in the win column. Perfection is a flow of mystery, accomplishment, the next mystery that becomes a win, then the next challenge that is solved, and so on. Having something you are working on and a pile of wins from the past. That is perfection for me. With nothing to solve or create, life is boring. But with nothing in the win column, there is little motivation. So I celebrate the ever growing pile of wins as equally as I celebrate the mystery or creation I am working on at the moment. Both are part of the balance of joy for me.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>But just in case your joy might be found in a batch of really great vegan keto fudge; here is a really simple recipe that I discovered that is no-sugar, no-grains, no-carbs, vegan, gluten-free, and everything else. You need only three things: Coconut oil, almond butter (or your favorite nut butter), and 100 percent baking chocolate. Melt them together in equal parts in a pot, pour it into a wax-paper lined tray or box, and pop it into the freezer. Cut it into small cubes before it gets completely frozen solid. Keep it in the freezer for up to three months. A little goes a long way! Each bite has lots of protein, good fats, medium chain triglycerides for brain function and flavor by the truck load. Enjoy!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I have a good feeling that this year will be one of the great ones!
