To Mom for teaching me the basics of cooking
from the time I could stand.
To Dad for believing in all of my wild aspirations.
To your radiant health – now and always.
An empty lantern provides no light.
Self-care is the fuel that allows your light to shine brightly.

Acknowledgments
Life is a constant lesson, and the human condition is just one medium through which the Universe works to assist in evolving our soul. I am forever grateful to each and every other soul – animals included – who has touched my life and enhanced my personal journey.
I will always give primary credit for the words I share to the thousands of clients and workshop participants I have had the privilege to know and assist in their healing journeys. My mission is to help you evolve, and as a result of knowing you, I evolve further as well. Thank you.
My deep gratitude also goes to the many authors, teachers, health educators, and spiritual leaders, whether in this world or beyond, whose wisdom facilitates my own evolution. This allows me to advance the evolution of others – a gift I greatly welcome and humbly deliver.
One of the key ingredients to my own radiant health is my connection with the members of my soul group. You know who you are. Read this as a reminder that you are cherished, honored, and very much appreciated. You feed me at the deepest level possible. Thank you from the bottom of my soul to the furthest reach in the Universe.
Special thanks goes to Carol Walsh, friend, suite mate, and master of words. I appreciate your willingness to peruse the pages throughout various stages of this book’s development. I also appreciate our frequent recipe swapping and taste-testing when we find those golden gems.
Continued thanks go to Chara Murray, my amazing and visionary graphic artist who gets me and pictorially captures the concepts provided in this book – as well as pretty much everything I have produced in the last twelve years. The we can conquer the world
title lives strong in my mind, heart, and soul and continues to motivate me to do everything I can to help this world evolve and continue on my own soulful path. Here’s to many more adventures before us!
Many thanks go to Carol Hildebrandt, chief wordsmith and editor for stepping in to fine-tune the words before you. Without you, the Recipe might have missed several key ingredients. Your swift and magical work is greatly appreciated.
Finally, my gratitude goes to everyone who reads this book and puts to use the thoughts and ideas that will help you to create a more radiant life. In evolving as both a human being and soul, you also participate in the evolution of this planet. Just imagine what this world would be like if each and every soul chose to love and care for themselves enough to live more radiantly! Thank you for investing in yourself, which also invests in the Oneness of all.
A Note from the Author
Do you want to feel more alive? More balanced? Have more energy? Be more radiant? If so, it is time to care for the most important part of you – your soul.
To me, self-care IS soul care. When we tend to the various aspects of our human lives that need attention, we also care for our innermost ally. But few of us know exactly what we as individuals uniquely need to feel more radiant. Instead, we have ideas about what all of us need to achieve good physical health – frequent exercise and good nutrition with a little bit of relaxation sprinkled in. However, as unique as each of us is, we all need more than this to really feed and sustain us. We each require our own personal combination of soul-care activities – our unique recipe
