Welcome to The Purple Almond!
My name is Tamara Hoerner. I am a student at Hawthorn University working toward a Master of Science in Health and Nutrition Education.
For me, the name Purple Almond symbolizes “Good, nutritious, whole food bringing light and life to the body, awakening the inherent healing mechanisms within.”
I'm all about getting back to the basics, good old fashioned traditional organic, whole food, the kind your great-grandmother used to eat. You'll find no processed foods here. Just good food to heal your whole body.
I also believe a healthy body isn't just about food. Stress plays a large part in the physical health of our body. I, therefore, believe in using anything that relieves stress and heals the body, including: mediation, yoga, music, laughter, inspiration and helping others. You'll find all these included in my blog as well.
Beautiful and moving Tamara…God bless!
Ever Thankful
As this morning calls my eyes to open
Leaving me to feel your joyful presence
You lift my mind into very high places
As my heart is now embraced by Your love
It gave birth to a million radiant smiles
And just as many blushing childish grins
While the very first thing that came to mind
Was to thank You for letting me live again
And I could hear the soft gentle pattering
On my window as the rain began to fall
And even as its voice was speaking clearly
I could hear the blessing of Your loves call
And as all living things began their dance
Joined together their voices rose up to pray
Happily thanking you Lord for another chance
To send out from their hearts sweet praise
I thank you, this morning for the reminder
Which always assures me Your spirit will stay
No matter whether one is truly good or bad
You give many of us another chance today
My heart joyfully embraces all of these thoughts
While bringing a love song to rise within as I pray
And along with my spirit, they give birth to a psalm
Thanking you lovingly for another very special day
To seek you out again with open hearts and arms
Again feeling the spiritual hunger grow inside
As we bathe anew in your sweet blessing of love
Realizing that last night we could have died.
