Are you feeling like your New Year resolutions are too big? That you are not up to the task, and maybe feeling defeated before you start? The bible says if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains. It’s important to understand and know that despite feeling or being small, you can move mountains, you are powerful.
Acorn seeds grow into oak trees. Something the size of a half dollar grows to an average of 70 feet tall with a branch span of 150 feet. This fact is a message for you straight from God/Spirt/ Universe. He speaks to us in a million different ways. Starting off small does not prevent you from having a massive impact in the world. Now is the time for each of us to step into who we really are - the oak tree in the acorn, having the power of a mustard seed to move mountains. I’m in my 60s. My days are numbered. I’m feeling pulled to grow and accept who I truly am, to be that oak tree now, in this moment. I’m feeling the necessity to STOP degrading myself and my efforts, and to instead, own my accomplishments, to play big. We are each being called to own our greatness and acknowledge and share our light; to stop focusing on smallness and BE the powerful beings we are. Marianne Williamson expresses it perfectly in this quote from her book Return to Love. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others. Let’s tap into our greatness, and be a powerful force for good. The world needs you!

Come January, diet is at the top of the list for new years resolutions. You may think that diet a dirty word. Afterall, it has 4 letters… isn’t that one of the criterias? My recipe below is definitely a 4 letter word, but not dirty - it’s YUMM!
What makes something a dirty word? I think it’s the feeling that goes along with it. If you are someone who has struggled with keeping a healthy weight, diet may be a dirty word for you, as you may associate it with a lot of restrictions. Oxford defines diet as the kinds of food that a person or community habitually eats. There is no mention of restriction. The definition of food is any nutritious substance that is ingested. That means not only what you eat, but what you listen to, who you hang out with, the thoughts you tell yourself, your environment! Now that is some food for thought! Steve Jobs is quoted as saying, “Eat your food as your medicine. Otherwise, you have to eat medicine as your food”. This is a profound truth. Instead of going on a diet, try to be more mindful when you eat. Use the acronym DIET to ask yourself two questions: Do I Eat This? And Does It Evoke Transformation? Pie, ice cream and soda would be a NO. Fresh, colorful, non-processed food, like this salmon recipe would be a YES. There are so many foods that are healthy and delicious! Okinawan sweet potatoes are high in antioxidants. Beets, pineapple, and blueberries are anti-inflammatory. Salmon is good for your heart. It also helps decrease inflammation and improve brain function. I need that! The other ingredients in this recipe are healthy too. Organic honey - aids with digestion and boosts the immune system. Lemon - rich in vitamin C, Rosemary - reduces inflammation. You may notice a theme here. I’m choosing food as medicine to help with inflammation and increase brain function. Take some time to do some research to see what foods you can eat as medicine and keep you healthy. Video: Honey Dijon Salmon Recipe: Honey Dijon Salmon |
