This was no typical day 11 years ago...it was a warm and sunny Friday. ..I learned a lot of things that day...I still learn a lot from that day...and the biggest thing for me is that I'm so grateful for Divine determination. Nothing can get in the way of radiance and love on its way into our lives. All you have to do is be here and be willing to witness it in action
#thankyouGod for such a great blessing as this to enjoy and hold. Enjoy your "air"day Reds.A focus on the whole package (health, wellness, spirituality, and all it's connections) and how to live the best life I can.

Success
My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and talents. ~ Mahatma Gandhi

I love my homemade hot chocolate
WOW!I make some of the BEST "hot" chocolate. ..
Been perfecting this "recipe" for years...you can ask what is in it, but you may have no clue what it is LOL . #superfoodingredients #immuneboostingseason #recipeinmyhead #stayinghealthytastedangggood!
Change! Celebrate sharing in supporting and believing in it
Good morning! I'm not going to share what I choose to do...and think...oh wait! That is a total lie. I said good morning. ...I already shared that I think it is good and that I chose to share my opinion.
Are you willing to let your thoughts change in the light?

Don't get stuck in the Doldrums. Keep moving
Good morning! I guess. ..I'm reminded of a childhood movie that we watched at the school I attended ...The Phantom Tollbooth. (I can't even describe how that move stuck with me my whole life! It helped shape the way I see the world to some degree ...) there is a part where he gets stuck in the Doldrums. ..the only way out is to get moving...or it will consume you...I can't say I have been stuck, but lacking in proper sleep reminds me of this...this is when I am glad that my mind LOVES to be on the move...even when I am not feelin' it.

How to deal with a "bully"
I'm not into "anti-bullying" (because as my kids put it, it's still like bullying) , but I am into empathy and positive self (and other) image. This vid reminds me of a brave kid...that after years of bullying (being constantly bated and harassed) stood up for someone else without backing down and feeling intimidated. It's one thing to hear about this kind of kindness and courage, but I am "epically" (<=== totally a word...don't care what spellcheck says) inspired to the core...

Lights on the moon...
Good morning! Got the boys set up with scope and binoculars observing the moon...I still think someone flicked the lights on
Shephard's pie reflections
Last week the hubby asked for shepherds pie...I made a bean and quinoa loaf the night before and he got inspired. So I shared the pic with a few friends and they asked for the recipe. Truth be told, I modify everything. ..so recipe will be out later. But what I can share is...I was super tired making both the loaf the night before and the pie the following day. So I used ingredients from my freeze dried stash. Along with the right spice blend, it was awesome! The base, the veggies in the middle AND even the potatoes on the top. I think I was more encouraged that it took so little of my time that I actually got to enjoy it more...

November break 2016
I get to hang out with my boys for 6 consecutive days!! Starting today!! And it's sunny! And we are going to cook and bake together!
Benefit the space you are at within
This one comes to mind today... "... “Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.” "

Observe to see the good
For a moment. ...would you be willing to suspend ...imagining (creating and expecting ) the worst outcome out of life...and observe. ..to see how the good is working around you like unseen and unacknowledged ants...always on the move...making the most of even crumbs.
Ready to use my imagination for the GOOD
Yup! Up bright and early (according to the time change), well rested (finally), and ready to use my imagination for the GOOD! I have a beautiful vision of how we as neighbours and communities continue to grow in our love for one another...authentically allowing one another to see their own fears and to give them space to feel safe to put them down and see what is available to them now....support, listening ears, and welcoming hearts...

Word of the Day: Maniacal
Good morning!
LOL. ..ROFL....That word though! Has fooled me for years...I've just realized that I have never had to read or write it....LOL ... I have only said it...until today....to describe crazy, disjointed laughter. Maniacal. ..well played.

The unconditional presence matters. Giving a hug counts
Good morning. It is...as our souls cry out for connection and our egos just desire to be heard...and held like teddy bears. Let's talk about teddy bears....most often given by the giver because there is something about having something to hug (and is cute too). It's often received with a smile...and a careful touch of its texture...and then hugged. We give more it seems to the teddy bear than it could ever give in return....and what it gives...is unconditional presence. That it is okay...to just be there....and valued for the gift of presence. I hug my boys like teddy bears each morning...admiring them and snuggling into their warmth. I don't care what attitude they may be having (one is not quite a "morning" person), or what agenda they have for the day....or what they got done or get done. That is not their value or significance for me. It's in that infinite moment where we connect in a space of love and just glow...from one another's presence
