9.27 Make Soup! · Just Enough Joy

Sarahn Sankofa: Hello, beautiful people. Today is September the 27th, and today's calendar challenge is Make Soup. Mmm. Our theme for this month of September is nourish yourself. So we are pouring all the love into our lives and we are starving the things that drain us, that take away from our peace, our happiness, and our joy. Today, make soup. Soup is more than a meal. It's one of those foods that can feel like a warm hug. And across cultures and centuries, people have turned simple ingredients into something nourishing and deeply healing for the soul. Soup is present in every culture across the world and has long been associated with healing and care. There's something powerful about it, right? It's just simple, it's easy. It invites you to slow down. You have to take your time with it, and it's not complicated. It can last you a long time. You can do it with almost anything you have, and it has a spiritual energy to it. That really feels healing to the body and to the soul. So today, make a pot of soup without overthinking it. Sometimes joy doesn't need to be complicated. Actually, joy never needs to be complicated. It just needs to be a familiar smell, a warm soup, and a feeling that somebody or even yourself took the time to care. Just enough is more than enough, Sarran says.
