The 'holiday season' has begun, a time packed with
emotions, expectations, and possibilities-for
reflection, insight, and acceptance.
The days around Thanksgiving are a particularly good
time to stroll off by yourself, and spend a few
minutes, or moments to take and appreciate some
full, deep breaths, while becoming aware of that part
of you that's thankful for the possibility each breath
brings; and become enlivened and uplifted by the
potential of each one that will follow.
When you start out, you may get distracted by
thoughts of your problems, but keep breathing, and
remember that a problem recognized is a solution in
progress.
So, in the spirit of thanks-giving, we wish you, and
everyone in the BIOM community, health and joy as
we move closer to the winter solstice and back into
the light.
Wishing you health & well-being ...
Kitty & Michael

| |
Jack and Jackie O' Lantern, renowned and loved
master jack-o-lanterns, stopped by BIOM to rest up a
bit after their busy Halloween tour of the Northwest,
where they inspired people with their bright smiles,
and luminous lore about the benefits of quiet
reflection, and ways to nourish yourself during this
dark time ... until the light returns.
Kitty: So, Jackie, you and Jack attended
many ceremonies celebrating another successful
harvest. What were some of the highlights for you?
Jackie O' Lantern: Before I tell you, I just
want to say how nice it is to see you again Kitty. It's
been wonderful cooking with you and sharing health
tips. The synergy between people and pumpkins
always amazes me, and makes me glow in a very
special way ... so ... the highlights of our trip ...

| Thanksgiving Interview with Jack O'Lantern |
| |
Michael: Welcome back, Jack. Thanks for
stopping by to see us, and kindling that good
Thanksgiving spirit.
Jack O' Lantern: My pleasure. Glad to be
here again. Jackie and I had a great time this Harvest
season; lot's of great celebrations, and fun with kids
of all ages; but the middle-aged ones seemed pretty
dismayed just after Halloween. They seemed
out-of-balance in a way; kind of thick-skinned to the
celebrations that were going on.
Michael: I think you were sensing the
anxiety, fear, and disappointment a lot of people felt
because of the recent elections. Do you keep up with
those kinds of "people" events?

Peaceful Pumpkin Soup is a very nourishing seasonal
dish, that's high in nutrients. It helps bring the
body into balance, and a balanced body is a healthy
