Triple Omega Fish, flaxseed, Safflower, and Olive Oils (Nature Made)

Baby Aspirin daily

This is it…

I am sticking to this one until I recheck my cholesterol in June.

BIG FAT DISCLAIMER;;; THIS IS MY PLAN.. PLEASE CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR ON ALL OF THE ABOVE. I AM NOT AN EXPERT.

The Cholesterol Project Days Seven and Eight

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011

Still on track and my tummy is already feeling better.. I think I am over the hump with the food and will try to work on getting more fish in my diet this week, making sure I don’t miss any supplements, and continue refining…

Right now… so far so good.

Bingo

Saturday, October 1st, 2011

I spent a large part of last night at the fair playing Bingo… What a fun thing!!!

Just putting those little red tokens on those empty spaces…

Getting them all lined up.

Kind of like life… when you get all the pieces in a row don’t you want to just yell out at the top your lungs…

BINGO!!!!

The moment of surrender

Thursday, February 10th, 2011

There have several moments in my life where I have been wrestling and worrying and stressing over something only to find myself at that moment when you know that it is out of your hands and whatever needs to happen will happen…. I love those moments… it’s like a deep, deep “soul” breath that goes all the way down to the very core of your being and lets in this magnificent surrender to God’s plan and lets out the need to control and push and press and struggle… ahhhhhhh

Hating real work

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Anyone besides me hate “real” work…

I will work my fingers to the bone for something I care about,

something I enjoy,

something that excites me

but I have been off now for a few days for vacation and the very thought of going back to the 8-5 grind makes me nauseated…

however, small disclaimer, in this day and age where a job with medical insurance and security is sooooo important I am also ashamed of myself for feeling this way…

I want to just make tiles like my latest Valentine’s collection…. and somehow make a living at it… are you listening up there? I know you are.

Passive Persistence

Monday, December 6th, 2010

I believe in passive persistence.

If you ever hear someone say they “scratched and clawed their way to their goals or dreams”… this is NOT passive persistence.

To practice “passive persistence”

You must let go of all outcomes or expectations and just keep doing whatever it is that brings you joy regardless of the result.

You keep doing the joyful thing

without expectation

without frustration

without hesitation

No frantic, crazy, goal-0riented, planning, striving, seeking… just keep doing the joyful thing

JUST KEEP DOING THE JOYFUL THING

Writing your Job Description

Friday, December 3rd, 2010

We all have a job description for our lives… sometimes we are lucky and we are able to follow our true god given job description but sometimes our job descriptions are rewritten by life experiences and our own ego.

My self-appointed and unevolved job description is to control everything and make sure everything is done and panic and fear and worry. I am very good at it.

However, I have decided that I will tear this job description into teeny tiny bits, stomp on it, pour gasoline on it and burn it to a crisp.

Then I will take my blank page press it up to heaven and let God’s mighty pen rewrite my life job description in a pure true ink that will never fade.

Amen!!!!

The next chapter

Wednesday, November 17th, 2010

As I find myself contemplating the next chapter of my life… I can’t help wishing for a few more years to get my act together, but while I am wishing time is a wasting so I will just pretend that I do have 40 more years to figure things out… My mama gave me this never-ending desire to reach beyond and push the envelope… Thanks mom,, it makes life so interesting and never boring….

but sometimes it is hard to relax when you always hear that voice that says…. “there is something more you must do” .. sometimes I just tell it to shut the heck up but it never listens.

Freedom’s just another word for nothin left to do

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

 Someone famous said that and I find the word freedom gets thrown around a lot by people who have nothing left to do…. it seems that freedom is only really understood when taken away and then regained. Ask Nelson Madela, or ask a POW, or ask someone in prison for a crime they didn’t commit or someone in prison for a crime they did commit. Freedom means something.. let’s stop saying it as if it’s just another word.
