There is one particular state of consciousness that can change your life forever. This holy moment can only be described as 'ecstatic' in that your connection to life expands significantly. In this profound state of being, you feel that life is full of beauty and sacredness – yet this feeling is not subjective, but is instead an objective phenomenon that is outside your personal self. Theologian Rudolf Otto called this experience 'numinosum.' But in this article, we'll refer to it as the mystical experience. All throughout history, the mystical experience has been referred to as a 'religious' or spiritual experience, where the

Angel food cake has always been a favorite dessert of mine, so I decided to make a vegan angel food cake version! This cake is all you have dreamed about and even more. I prepare this on every occasion I get. Notes An angel food cake is challenging enough to prepare, however, a vegan one is an even larger challenge. To ensure that this version turns great for you, I suggest that you read the whole article. It’s best to spare 10 minutes extra than to waste every penny and second make something that fails. Is This Vegan Angel Food Cake Worth Your Time and Energy? If you are on the hunt for a plant-based alternative to this divine sweet cake, this recipe is totally worth it. Similar to its original counterpart it has: -A greatly fluffy texture and fine taste -Lower calories compared to the real thing -Lower fat-one 1g of fat/slice You also need only 20 minutes to prepare it, despite the several steps involved in making it. Ingredients for Making Vegan Angel Food Cake: This recipe requires only six ingredients and therefore it’s best to measure these with caution and do not use any replacements if possible. Follow the recipe to a T! Aquafaba: a liquid leftover from cooked chickpeas that is a great replacement for egg whites. If you whip it up, it will become the best vegan “meringue”. Cream of tartar: this an acid substance that helps set aquafaba when beaten. Ground sugar: beat the regular sugar granules in a food processor or blender until finely dissolved into fine powder. Vanilla extract: for extra aroma and flavor Chickpea flour: a typical vegan egg replacer that helps set the meringue. All-purpose flour: use just one cup and tbsp of all-purpose flour passed through a sifter. Pin Ingredients: -¾ cup aquafaba (the liquid leftover from a can of chickpeas) -1 tbsp vanilla extract -1 cup & 1 tbsp all-purpose flour -1 cup granulated sugar -1 tbsp chickpea flour 1 ½ tsp cream of tartar Instructions: Preheat your oven at 330F/165C. Beat the granulated sugar into fine sugar in a blender or food processor. Place ¾ cup of aquafaba liquid into a big mixing bowl with vanilla extract and cream of tartar. Whip for 6 minutes minimum with a hand mixer initially on low and then slowly at higher speed. Incorporate the powdered sugar gradually in several parts while beating up the meringue on high speed for a couple of minutes. Once you have beaten the aquafaba for 8 minutes at least, grab a tbsp of the chickpea flour and beat for an extra minute or so. In three increments, gradually sift the flour combo into the egg mix through a mesh strainer, while carefully folding in with a rubber spatula after every part. To prevent any shrinking and loss of cake volume, don’t add the flour mixture in one part. Add gradually in multiple increments. Place and spread the batter into an unprepared 9X10” cake tubular pan. Shake the pan on a flat surface to even out the bottom. Bake your vegan angel cake until you add a toothpick and it turns out clean, for approx. 45-50 minutes. Take off the oven and let cool (while it’s still in the pan) for 2-3 hours. Once it’s cooled down, pass a small knife around the edges to gently detach the cake from the pan. If you wish, sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar. Serve with fresh berries on top and a small part of vegan whipping cream.

Please let me know in the comments how this cake turned out for you, I will be happy to answer it!

For those of you who have been using some of the Whole Brain Teaching strategies out there, how have they been going this year? Maybe it's just me, but I feel the bulk of the first trimester is spent doing so much guided practice, setting up routines & procedures, and teaching expectations, it feels good to be in the second trimester and actually getting to the meat and potatoes of teaching & learning :) I am excited to share this next part that we learned once upon a time at the Whole Brain Conference this summer, but I'm just starting to practice and use regularly now (oops!). To be honest, though, the world of Whole Brain Teaching just seems so vast, I am glad I went nice and slow introducing the many pieces and parts, otherwise I would have run out of steam by now! One of the ways to keep up momentum and keep interest high is with WBT's "Super Simple Lesson Plan". Chris Biffle explains it beautifully below and it's worth a watch if you have some time: So many things stick out from this video, as usual! Some of the most helpful tidbits I took away are: Teachers can often be "talk-a-holics" and the longer we talk, the more kids we lose- guilty! "Practice makes permanent"- I heard this a few years ago and love it, but love Shannon from technology rocks. seriously's even more!! I think this gets kids thinking about the process more than the product. Click the poster above to be taken to Shannon's AMAZING wealth of talent :) At the conference this summer, we practiced this a LOT in small groups and it was so helpful! The thing with Whole Brain Teaching is that it isn't only fast-paced and engaging for kids, it is for you as the teacher, too! Being prepared helps keep the lesson moving forward and keeps the energy high- you see lots and lots of smiles when you use this plan! Here's the basic setup of the WBT Lesson Plan: There are five simple steps and they go like this: Start with a question, like "What is a noun?" Answer the question, give the definition Give an example Give another example Have kids give each other examples Voila! Before each section, have a Class-Yes and use one of three techniques- Scoreboard (smiley/frown), Mirror or Mirror-Words, or Hands & Eyes (for more clarification of each step, click the term to be taken to its definition). I have listed all three as a possibility, but only circle one and that way you can remember to vary it throughout the lesson delivery. Then, in two-three sentences, go through the step (see the video for great examples). Give the kids some simple directions of how they will teach this to their partner- this is the "BR" section for "Bridge". A good example would be, "I want you to turn to your partner and tell them what a noun is, using gestures, until I call you back." This step is especially crucial at the beginning. Otherwise, many kids have absolutely no idea what to do when you say "Teach!"-- this way, there are clear expectations after each step (yay!). You will then clap and say, "Teach!" and the kids will respond by repeating your clap and saying, "Okay!" They will turn to their partner (I have my kids sit knee-knee) and practice doing what I asked them and using gestures until I call them back with "Class." **Tip: I assign "Teaching Partners" in class- it's pretty much a Turn-and-Talk buddy, but with a fancier name and when it's minilesson time, the kids know they have to sit next to this person so when I say "Teach!" they know who to turn to immediately :) While the kids are practicing, I can get up and wander around the meeting area. During this time, I am P/P&L-ing- I am Praising ("Great gestures!") or Prompting ("Bigger gestures, please!") and then Leaving (I don't hang around, I move on after my quick P/P). This cycle repeats itself through the five steps and holy cow- you will notice the difference in the focused and meaningful energy of your kids. **Tip: I highly recommend starting this in a subject like math or grammar, where the gestures, the questions and answers, and the examples will be easier to come up with. To me, it is so much easier to thing "What is multiplication?" or "What is a verb?" and develop a lesson from there. Build up to the harder, more complex lessons and soon you-- and even better, your kids!-- will be thinking of gestures for everything! If you want a copy of my own version of the WBT Lesson Plans, they are available for FREE both on TpT and Google Docs. I have saved it as both a PDF and a PowerPoint. The PDF is easy-peasy, but hard to edit. If you are interested in adding in text boxes and such, opening the PowerPoint file will be best. TpT Files HERE Google Docs PDF HERE Google Docs Editable PowerPoint HERE I will be happy to post some examples that I am using, but there are already a handy amount on Whole Brain Teaching's website in their "Lesson Design & Delivery" FREE e-book. I highly recommend reading that cover to cover and exploring more of their videos on WBT TV. Thanks so much everyone and have a great weekend! On a fun side note, I am working to add more of my freebies to Google Docs (it seems the WBT Rules on TpT sometimes download all funky) and am working to create more editable PowerPoint files- I'll keep you posted on Facebook as I complete these projects.

☾∙✦∙☾ From the vastness of the universe to the littlest spark in our eyes, we see dualities that play their parts to nourish the whole. There’s good and bad, right and wrong, big and small, male and female, and light and dark. These counterparts balance each other out to bring total equilibrium in the grand scheme of things. The sun is the yang to the moon’s ying. The sun is the father and the moon is the mother in the Milky Way clan. Although the moon is seen as a lustrous heavenly body, she only reflects the sun’s light to bring illumination to mankind. She, then becomes the mirror of our hearts, gleaming with wonder, emotion, fertility, clarity, transition, intuition, and balance. All these are captured in a gem that emulates the ethereal luster of the moon. This gem holds the power of the moon deep inside its crystalline form. Moonstone Gemstone The Romans believed that Moonstone was actually formed from the moonbeam and that it displays the image of Diana, the Moon Goddess that bestows love, prosperity, victory and wisdom upon the possessor. Other legends claim that it contained the gifts of prophecy and clairvoyance. It is said that Moonstone could calm the mind and allow the wearer to gain wise thoughts, while keeping the heart and mind in sync. As primeval as the moon itself, Moonstone holds the power of mystery. Its secrets are locked beneath a pearly veil, and with them, our own hidden truths. That is why when we look at the moon, we somehow pause to look inside of ourselves. Only when we appreciate its reflected light can we begin to see what it has to teach us. Moonstone is deemed as a talisman of the inward journey. It delves into the deepest part of the self to bring to light what isn’t there and what needs to be there. Moon Magic inside the Gem Since the beginning of time, Moonstone has been a true testament to the magic of the moon. It’s celebrated as an amulet of protection for travelers, a gift for lovers for passion, a channel for prophecy, and a path to wisdom. As it waxes and wanes, it hails the tides of the Earth and the tempos of our emotions. Moonstone soothes and inspires, schooling us the natural flow of life. When the moon wanes, it teaches us to release, let go, and let everything simmer down to a silent pause. New moons remind us of a fresh start and that every falling star can be born again. While the waxing moon urges us to take what we learned to heart, take action, and reach for our dreams. And finally, the full moon is a mirror to our peak – our attainment of clarity and wholeness. Like the moon, Moonstone’s play of light reminds us of the lunar cycle. That we are subjected to change all the time, but we must keep our feet on the ground for constant battles and our spirits always soaring for new beginnings. ☾∙✦∙☾
