Variety of Peppers
What’s your favorite?
I eat these at least once a day. I love them. What color is your favorite? I normally buy an orange.
Today’s Affirmation Release Hurt & Resentment
We all carry some hurt and resentment in us. How about we release them. Today and everyday. Slowly let go and reflect. Be at peace. Forgive. Don’t be jealous or angry. Love yourself. Focus on inner peace.

Week-End Reflection...
Here’s your reminder. I want you to reflect on the week you had. Now think about all the positive things that happened. All the good. This is your end of week reminder to all the good that happened to you this week.
I will list some of mine.
I reconnected with two old friends. One reached out to me. Another I reached out to him. Short conversations but nice to reconnect and know we can be in eachother lives and we all still do care.
My week was full of a ton of spontaneous last minute plans.
My little ones had a great week. They started an after school program at school.
My oldest and her group one the award for best project that they spent almost five days on the prior week.
My dad received awesome news on a scan he had.
I booked a couple fun weekend activities away.
Wow I could keep going. Try it. See how easy it is to reflect on all the good.
Enjoy your life!
Mung Beans Have You Heard?
I have never heard of these before. I walk into the kitchen and ask my mom if she made lentils. Nope mung beans. Um what?
They were delicious. They look like sprouts but do not taste like it. They are low in carbs and full of antioxidants and fiber. They also taste like a snap pea. Really delicious.
It’s Ok...Do Better Tomorrow
This post says a lot. I don’t think it’s so much to do with babies but definitely as kids grow and our responsibilities grow and change parenting gets really tough. Luckily I never experienced postpartum but it’s real. It happens. I will say while I was going through marital problems it was hard to keep a routine. To stay happy and calm. To not be short tempered. I always saw posts that say “ I had to keep it together infront of my kids while I was falling apart inside”.
It’s true it’s the reality.
Now luckily I am at a happy place I never wanted my kids to feel my sadness or tensions or concerns. I didn’t know how I would be single and manage a household and job and kids etc...
Regardless if you’re married or single or whatever you need to understand it’s ok. You will have days that you wish you could do better. Be better. Then there’s days you are a rockstar. It’s about balance. Don’t be hard on yourself. We’re all trying our best. Regardless your kids love you and they know you love them too.
The Jack Fruit....What Is It?
My girls have seen this on TV so when I saw it at Trader Joe’s I had to buy it. I will not lie. It wasn’t the best but it was really cool to try. Jack Fruit is full of awesome antioxidants. It’s an Indian tropical fruit.
It’s not sweet at all. It looks like artichoke hearts. They suggest vegans cook with it and eat it as a form or protein. Have you ever tried it?
You Are Worthy...You Don’t Have To Prove It
Don’t look for justification. Don’t look for people to think you’re worthy. Think for yourself. Love yourself to know what you bring to the table. You don’t need to prove yourself to anyone.
Today’s Question...
It’s important to think about this and be sure to change what’s not making you happy!
Be Young At Heart
I have hung out with people 10 years older than me and 10 years younger. Must say the older once had amazing energy. Never judge a person on age or status or anything. It’s all about energy and synching and vibes you get from one another.

It’s All Good
There’s always going to be that one person or situation that is poison to you. We all have that person. I can tell you know the patterns are predictable. Don’t let it get the best of you. Remove yourself from the person or situation and when problems still arise try not to give it importance.
Living in New England Weather
Stay warm everyone!!
I was working out at the gym and look over and see the streets covered in snow. It was super pretty. I won’t lie at first I thought I better go before it gets bad but I don’t mind driving in the snow and just took my time
working out with a view.
I love our seasons. I love how one minute feels like Spring and the next it’s Snowing. Not really sure what I would do if I didn’t have these fun seasons to look forward to.
When You’re Not on Vacation But It Feels Like It
Go brush your teeth. I said to my girl friend on the phone. I am coming over to get you.
I was coming from Milford and didn’t feel like heading to the gym yet so I call my soul sister and I love this girl because even though she was just getting out of bed her response was “ok I will go get ready”.
Let’s go to one of my favorite spots I say. Sono Harbor Café. I love it here. It feels like you’re in Boston. We sit at the bar top area. It’s so great inside.
I came here a ton of times and it’s delicious every time.
She ordered steak and eggs. I ordered a breakfast burrito. We split a half stack of pancakes which are so tasty and delicious. They don’t even need syrup. They even have real maple syrup. The coffee is amazing. The staff is so friendly and they kept filling our coffee. Awesome place and great price.
I love when unplanned plans come together.
Chocolate and Wine Pairing
At Sunset Meadow Vineyards. These are so much fun. I did one of these before around Halloween and it was awesome to see how certain candies enhanced the wine flavors.

What A Great Life...
At least once a day say it. Say it to someone or alone. Say it out loud or to yourself. But everyday at least once say “What a great life.”
There’s nothing perfect about life. Trust me I get it but being positive doesn’t hurt. Do it for you. You’ll feel better. You’ll shine brighter.
Embrace life for what it is. I found my favorite flower at Trader Joe’s today made my day.
Now think about all the things that made your soul happy today and say “What a great life!”
2020 Is About Growth
It’s about saying the way I was living wasn’t enough. It didn’t bring out my highest good. Change. Look within and change. You can blame others. You can say your companion isn’t giving you what you need. But deep down it’s you who needs to change.
It’s self reflections. No more blaming others. You created the life you have. What you don’t like you can change. You have the power.
Bloom. Grow into the person you’re meant to be.
It’s National What Day...
My daughter brought this up. Yesterday she asked what’s today known for? I had no idea so I said look it up. She said did you know everyday is “national” day for something. I didn’t I said. I never really paid attention to it. So now I will be sharing some National day items with you all readers because every day is Happy National...Day.

My Chocolate Fix at The Spread Norwalk
I love the vibe in this place. It doesn’t matter if it’s packed or not it’s always super comfortable and fun.
I needed a chocolate fix. I didn’t know it until we stopped in for a drink after dinner and looked at the menu. A chocolate martini and a brutella was what I ordered and I will tell you I would totally order it again.
The brutella is a chocolate Nutella creme brulee- it was so rich but amazingly delicious.
The martini was a sip type of drink. Chilled with vanilla vodka and chocolate and a bunch of yummy chilled perfections.
Totally was a perfect way to end the night.
What Are You Grateful For?
It’s the little things...
Of course it’s your kids and family and friends. Your job. The people who fill you life with positive vibes.
I have a friend. She’s my soul sister. She is legit a ray of sunshine. We can be going to a grocery store or a restaurant or partying in different towns and no matter what we are doing we are having a blast. We are real with eachother. We see the beauty in small little things.
What are you grateful for? Who are you grateful for?
You Create Your Current State
Look at your life...at one point you envisioned it the way it is today. You asked for it.
I did. I always said I was the happiest single and wanted to bring myself back to that happy place. I did. I am.
Look at your life.
You asked for this. Whether it makes you happy or not you sent out to the universe this vibe. Your worries. Your dreams. It all manifested.
You can change it at any moment in time. You can change your life, your thoughts, your desires.
You can say I want and watch it manifest. Try it!
Embrace this moment...this moment is your life.
