Morning Wattage!
Me – my shadow and my thoughts.
A beautiful autumn day.

Morning power walks have been a longtime part of my lifetfyle though there have been times I haven’t been as diligent and disciplined. Now – if I don’t feel like going out, I tell myself just go – even if you do a 10 minutes it’s better than nothing. My goal is usually 3 miles and I’m always happy when I exceed it with 4 miles, 4.5, 4.1 – I’m like Yess!

Walking is a great way to relieve stress, lower blood pressure, increase your heart health and overall mood. I make it a point to look around at the beautiful trees and flowers, the sky – the things that remind us the beauty of nature and life. There are so many blogs are I see really heavy on promoting who’s wearing what super expensive designer item..and not being judgmental because I love nice things..but as life goes along and getting older you appreciate or should appreciate that many of the best things are free. Taking moments of solitude to clear your mind of cluttering thoughts, social media, news.. is important. If you don’t live in the best neighborhood find a local park.

Whatever you choose to do the point is to keep moving and never take for granted just looking up – whether the sky is gray, full of clouds or blue – it’s another reminder to appreciate life and not get jaded. The autumn season is perfect to really be reminded of the beauty of changing seasons before it gets too cold to be out – take advantage of it. Do something good for your mind, body and spirit daily.

Things You Love. Daily Life Hack.

I love candles which inspired me to create a signature line. Currently available exclusively in my online shop ‘Sanctuary’ and ‘Comfort’ with a third scent in the works!

There are so many things in life that we can’t control. I tend to try to focus on the things within my control or reach especially when it comes to home..as I always like to remind you – surround yourself with things you love. Your house may not be that mansion on the beach, or the penthouse apartment with a view of Central Park or any abode of your ultimate dreams, however you can still give your spot the love and bring to it a sense of joy and peace-always in gratitude.

Meatless Monday and Music. Vegan Black Eyed Peas

1 cup black eyed peas

1 cup chopped mixed veggies (broccoli, green and red bell pepper, carrots)

1/2 cup chopped celery, onion and garlic

2 cups veggie broth

Garlic powder, black pepper, crushed pepper, pink Himalayan salt or kosher salt to taste

You can add a bay leaf as well.

Sautée chopped onion, celery, garlic with olive oil medium heat in same pot to cook peas until clear – you can substitute with any type of beans.

Add peas, and broth – seasonings. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes, add chopped veggies – Cover, season to taste – continue to simmer on low heat until tender. Cook with love dance around to your favorite feel good music. My soundtrack today included “The Healing.”

Make your favorite mixed green or kale salad – homemade salad dressing or simple olive oil and a balsamic vinaigrette with squeeze of fresh lemon juice is best with fresh cracked pepper. Lay off the croutons – add a few almonds or pecans if no allergies for crunch.

Going without meat gives your body and the environment break. Try it!
