Seeds and Garlic...

I'm getting spring fever so today I'm going to plant some seeds. I already have garlic growing from when I planted it in the end of Oct-Nov. If you've never grown garlic you should try it. You don't need a garden, you could use a fair size pot of dirt and take the cloves ( don't even need to take the skin off) and put them, one clove at a time ( because each clove is a new plant - plant pointed side up) in the dirt. And in the spring you have garlic! Just know that you may want to plant more then you think. I use a lot of garlic and I thought "surely a dozen would be enough - nope." This year I planted twice as much and I'm not sure that will even be enough. But none the less I am excited about it. So easy ~ So yummy! Happy Planting...

Dream...

Welcome to the entrance of my dream home!

Laughter...

Laughter is the best medicine...

 This picture reminds me to not take life to seriously. I use to have a dog that would smile like that!

Today I'm going to allow myself laughter, to be light hearted and practice grinning from ear to ear.

Inspired...

Today I decided to let a picture inspire me. This one struck me as what I want to do everyday ~ To get up every morning and say " welcome world, I'm ready." I want to wake up excited about my life and all that it holds within that day ~ in that present moment! To have childlike wonder, that anything is possible, if only I believe!

So today I offer to myself - a gesture of self-love... To believe, to be excited and to just ENJOY this present moment I am in.

Love...

February is know for the month of love. So my thought was how can I for the next twenty eight days ~ Self - Love

Today I allowed myself to just sit and knit in the middle of the day while watching something inspirational to my spirit. Thank you self  - for your love today.

A Writing Kind of day...

Today was my second time going to a writers group that meets once a month. It felt good! I actually felt like a writer today. Everyone loved my fiction story I've been working on, on and off for years. And it was nice to visit the story again. I've been nurturing my story for about 10-15 years in my mind and on paper. I found out though someone today that it doesn't cost anything to publish a book on Kindle, and my thought was " Oh maybe someday I CAN send my baby ( my story) out into the world through an e-book." For some reason that excited me and it really doesn't matter why ~ it's a good thing!!! I may actually call myself a writer...

Simple...

"Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple."

Simple - is what I felt like I was. But I am finding out as I'm constructing a business of making cooking  simple, my brain is complicated. I struggle with trying to convey what I've learned in simple terms but it's not coming out that way and I get overwhelming and ends up getting nothing done. So my goal is to see if I can break my ideas into small pieces and FOCUS on just that. As my cooking style has changed over the years it has granted me wisdom and a lot of pleasure which I'm looking forward to sharing with others.  If I could just open the hatch of my brain and dump it on the paper I'd be making head way. But it's a challenge that I'm willing to work on because it will produce amazing results.
