Is it Okay to Look Back?

Absolutely!  As long as looking back makes you feel better and aids you in imagining what you want to feel right now. 

Here's to Looking!

Remember to Accept

I observed a friend today, being offered a small gift.  She was delighted to receive it.  Her first thought after that feeling of gratitude, was, "I must get a gift for her in return."
I chimed in and suggested she leave it at "Thank you" and continue with simply graciously accepting, rather than immediately seeking to re-pay. 
Accepting with grace.  It's simple.  But not always easy.  Accepting without repaying directly is a stretch that allows us to stay in the flow of giving and receiving with ease.

Save the Sea Life Soup

I love being plant-based!  It's fun for me to try new recipes that are low in fat, free of oils, and all plant-based.
I made another of Isa Chandra Moskowitz's recipes. 

This is her New England Glam Chowder soup that I made last night.  I love the name!  This soup got it's creaminess from soaked and blended cashews and is loaded with veggies and some seaweed that lends the seafood flavor.  And, it's loaded with health-protecting mushrooms.  
I believe that eating plant-based eliminates angst from my life that I was carrying as a result of eating animals who have suffered.  Have you given that idea any thought?

Divine Oneness

I'm just about finished reading Mutant Message Down Under
 

and am taking a pause because I don't want it to end. It really opens up your mind and heart, further and wider to re-think your relationships to yourself, others and nature.  Today, choose to be open to expanding yourself, AND accepting your imperfections as perfect, as well as those of others.

Don't Let Reality Get in the Way

Reality is right before your eyes.  And it's pushing your buttons, frustrating you and raising your stress level.  But what if what appears to be "real" is just getting in the way of you feeling good?  Could you feel better if you didn't "see" what was before you.





You can choose to see a situation as an obstacle and let it get to you.  Or, you can fill yourself up with thoughts that feel good and align with positive energy, despite the obstacles in your life.  Play with this and see what happens.
