Transforming Thoughts

Ever hear the saying “Life is 10% what you make it and 90% how you take it”?  I like that phrase, because much of life is “how we take it”-our thoughts and subsequent actions based on said thoughts.  Perception can become reality in our minds. In Paul’s letter to the Romans chapter 12 verse 2 …

Wait Patiently

Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.  ~Psalm 27:14 God put this in my inbox, I’m sure of it.  I needed this reminder and I think my friend did too.  I am trying to be patient every day, my friend is too. But it can be very …

Out of my Rut

I’m in a rut. While enjoying some different foods from others helping me out this week, it has made me think of how I get stuck in ruts of eating the same things over and over.

Realizing this rut and then reading cooking magazines and watching foods shows all week, I’ve decided to keep trying some new foods & recipes-want to join me?  Each month I’ll highlight a new recipe (or two) I’ve tried that is healthy and appeals to more than just me-ideally the family. For me it doesn’t work unless there’s some consensus in the family.

We are on a wellness journey together, so let’s keep it healthy and with minimal ingredients!  I love reading cookbooks with intricate recipes, but in reality those occur once or twice a year for me-so simple and healthy is more realistic for everyday.

You have the Wellness Granola and the Wellness Journey Snack Mix recipes, so how about we start with a healthy, simple and interesting entrée?

Submit your recipes or chime in with ideas and next month I’ll highlight one or more that fit into our wellness vibe.  Comment here at the end of the post, email me at jill@memoryminders.net  or join the discussion on Facebook or Twitter.  What fun-each month we’ll get a new recipe (or more depending on how ambitious we all are) to try and keep us out of our ruts!

Today and next Friday I’ll share some little things I’ve changed in my diet. I think these have made a difference in my overall mind and body health:  this week-beverages.

Where Mindfulness Leads

Life changes quickly which I have been very mindful of this week.  Even though I anticipated changes with my knee surgery, I couldn’t anticipate everything, which has me mindful of many things.  Each has its own lesson to learn.  Here’s one for each day of the last week. While being mindful this week I: Realize …

Two for One

I love a great deal-like getting two for one.  You may know I had some knee surgery this week.  I had been preparing for it for a while and was actually quite busy right up until the night before.  That night it hit me how life would change in the next days, weeks and months, …
