Poof! All gone … until I want it back.

Sometimes you just have to make things all gone.

I moved into our new home the end of May. Somehow, believe it or not, most of the rooms still have one or two unfinished projects hanging out.

In the bedroom there is the unhung painting of lovebirds. In the living room my doll collection awaits a display box, posters wait for frames and … In the dinette an army of little nick knacks litter the window sills.

I’ll stop now before I totally stress you out too.

Unfinished projects are a part of life and so is choice. Today I chose to put these bits and bobs into a big plastic bin that slides so nicely under a table. Poof! Just like magic the “to dos” fade back, the guilt is gone and I am enjoying the house more.

What do you need to pack or bag? Give yourself permission to not be perfect today or tomorrow or this month.

Now, enjoy the rest of your day. I will.

Walk Away & Hold It!

Walk Away.

Is a toxic relationship sucking you dry?You don’t have to stay – you can, literally, walk away.

Often the simplest solutions are completely overlooked.

And, those Energy Vampires can cross the line – phone line that is. The phone version of the Walk Away maneuver is called Hold It!

It’s simple. Just ask them to “Hold It.” Push that hold button & take a break. Take the time you need to collect your thoughts, breathe deeply and relax. Then, when you are ready, get back on the line and handle the situation calmly.

Feeling victimized is exhausting. Remember – YOU have choices. Use them!

Psst. If “boundaries” is difficult for you, tune into this interview, Nice Girls – Toxic Love & Breaking the Ties that Bind.

Tuna Fish PLUS Anti-Oxidants. Yum.

I have simple tastes, comfort tastes. Tuna Fish sandwiches bring back memories of me and mom – I can close my eyes and see her piling tuna fish atop a saltine cracker. This little meal was invariably topped off with a couple peanut butter or jam crackers.

I had an urge to update and eat this fav today. Here goes …

Mom’s Tuna Fish Sandwich Mine!

Can of Tuna fish Can of Tuna fish
MayonnaiseDeleted – Used Plain, Low fat “Active Culture Yogurt”
Sandwich bread or saltine crackers Whole wheat sandwich wrap


ADDED: 1 Celery Stock, 1 Diced Carrot, 1/2 Diced “Sweet” Onion & 1 Garlic Clove
2 TBSP Parsley
1 TBSP of the marjoram spice

Notes
: The plain yogurt is less caloric and the “active cultures” promote the growth of healthy bacteria in your colon & boosts immunity; the celery stock, carrots and onion add fiber which helps digestion and keep your colon healthy; the sweet onion contains quercetin a powerful anti-oxidant (see below); Garlic is another super anti-oxidant; Parsley is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin K. It is also a good source of iron and … an anti-oxidant! Finally, the spice Marjoram (or lemon balm, ginger and cumin spices) dramatically up the anti-oxidant value of any meal.

Now – about all these anti-oxidants. Bottom-line – Antioxidants help prevent cellular damage, cellular aging and dis-ease.

Gotta love that! Yum.
