Simplify "A Hero's Journey"

Healthy Cooking Made Easy! One of the fun ways I have found to healthy eating is with the use of a Bamboo Steamer.  Easy to use and inexpensive.  It is a true KISS technique in cooking! First assemble your ingredients.  I like fresh Veggies.  Slice and dice!  Get all the prep work done.  Be creative in placement in the Bamboo steamer. If using proteins like chicken or fish I recommend a small plate in the steamer to rest the chicken or  fish on.  When using shrimp,  I like using parchment paper.  Wrap the shrimp by folding the paper up tight  and place in the Bamboo steamer.  You want to protect the Steamer from the oils of the fish and chicken.   Once the Bamboo Steamer is full, put it back together.  Get you water boiling in a pot.  Once the water is boiling, place the Bamboo steamer on top and steam  for 8 to 10 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add salt pepper and a squirt of lime juice and serve! I was able to get 2 dinners and a breakfast out of all the f

Attitude of Gratitude! The Attitude of Gratitude is a daily practice.  It starts with humility.  Giving up control to a Higher Power. It is a choice.   Every day sit down, write it down!  State it! What you are Grateful for.  Whatever so small.  The wins.  The comfort.  The pure Joy you experience.  The people you are grateful for.  The experience you are grateful for.  The things in your life that make you happy.  Go right now, do it!  Grab a pen, paper and Journal.  Write it down!  Every day!   Then, give it back.  Say "Thank You!".  Serve others.  Share your life.  Share your love!  Share you light in the world.  Practice Gratitude each day.  Ask the question "What am I supposed to learn from this?".  Then say "Thank You!". Gratitude is a practice of constant reflection on the gifts in your life.   "You are free to Choose, you have the power to feel good anywhere anytime it’s up to you to choose to be happy or not!"

Being and staying  Positive is:  Part of the Solution  to getting things done.     It is an internal knowing it will all work out.

Unattached to outcome.   Going for it!   Making adjustments on the fly.  Corrective actions to keep forward momentum  toward accomplishing the Mission.

Be Kind! To be Kind is the innate ability to listen first to understand.  Not listen to just respond.  It is listening from the heart.  You show a genuine understanding and compassion toward another human being.  You not only listen to what the other is saying with their words but their tone of voice and body language is key.  You pay attention to the whole.  You are careful to listen to your inner voice and respond to what your intuition is telling you.  You give support.  You give grace.  You give forgiveness.  You share your joy.  You share your love..  You share your life!  To be kind is to seek to alleviate pain and suffering.  It is to be of service.  To show up when you are needed without being asked.  You share your valuable time unselfishly. It is to do what is right.  When you are kind you redirect the spotlight on to others and  celebrate your team and seek to take the focus off of yourself. Kindness is not just given to others, but to yourself.   Kindness is livi

You are now free of the negative jugements you had of others.  You release the pain.  When you see them rather than feeling your were wronged or hate, you feel love and send peace.  You excuse them from your life or accept them back in with open arms.  It is YOUR Choice!   When you forgive you: Stop holding negativity in your body.  Expelling negativity from every cell no matter how long it has been there. Release Anger. Live with no more guilt. Understand you can not control the

The Duck Pond “The Easy Path leads to the Hard Life, The Hard Path leads to the Easy Life”  Rilke Are you a Duck?  Are you and Eagle?  Are you a Eagle convinced you are a Duck? Ducks: Live in the the Duck Pond. Ducks keep repeating the same thing again and again getting the same results.  They  swim around the pond constantly complaining "Nothing in my life every changes".  The negative Nellie.   They do just what is asked. Never go the extra mile.  They complain "quack" to everyone how unfair life is.  They live within their comfort zone.  The place of cozy and familiar.  They don't realize this is a sweet poison silently killing their inner Soul.  We have all had that waiter or person behind the counter who is rude and can not or will not help you because of "this" or "that" reason.  That is a Duck! Eagles:   Live in the sky high above.  Eagles regularly  get out of their comfort zone.  They think out "of the box&q
