Time for Quiet Reflection

You can find answers to your questions when you give yourself the time and space to think about them.

Giving yourself the time and space is as simple as sitting quietly for 5-10 minutes witout distractions from radio, tv, phone, internet. You might find that turning off the radio while driving can open up a flood of thought and resolve.

You might find answers to: “how can I do this…reset your intentions…control cravings…forgive yourself…find peace…”

Be kind to your mind every day; find time for queit reflection.

Goals and Dreams

Success in reaching any goal happens when you’re truly committed from the heart and head-when both are in sync, success wins.

If you fight with yourself, if you hate what you must do to reach a goal then you’re most likely not going to follow through. If you have to find excuses or reason with yourself every step of the way, then you’re heart isn’t in it.

Being and living healthy shouldn’t be a chore, it shouldn’t feel like work; it should feel like renewal, like the new you….the vibrant, energetic, positive you!

Set your mind and heart in sync. Love who you are and who you want to be. Never give up on your goals – never be too old to dream big!

Your favorite herbs-mine were parsley and cilantro, Himalayan pink salt and freshly ground black pepper

extra virgin olive oil and your favorite apple cider vinegar-mine is my home seasoned garlic scape ACV

I didn’t measure anything, I just added until it looked right…use your creative freedom!

Chill or serve immediately. Enjoy!

My own garlic

This is the first time I’ve grown garlic and thanks to farmer Clem I was successful! I pulled it up today so it needs to dry for 2 weeks then I’ll store it and use it.

Eat some delicious, nutritious watermelon since it’s in season!

Millet, another whole grain

It’s slightly nutty and slightly chewy-in a good way! I made a small batch to refrigerate for future meals but took a little out for today’s lunch. I added olive oil, pink Himalayan salt, walnuts & tomatoes. There is 17 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, I used about 1/2 cup, and the walnuts have 5 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, I used about an 1/8 cup.
