Life is a vacation. Enjoy it!

Life is a short visit or vacation on this planet.  And I know when I go on vacation I’m more relaxed.  I don’t take myself so seriously.  If I don’t follow the plan exactly it’s okay, whatever happens will be fun and exciting.  So why don’t I live my entire life this way?

That’s my current goal.  Life really is for the living. 

I think my biggest problem is that I have so many things that I want to experience in life that I would have to live to be 230 years old to do it all.  And then I probably wouldn’t be able to do the entire list because the list would have grown.  But I’m working on trying as many things as I can.  And the things that seem to work for me I’m doing more of, looking into them deeper, expanding my knowledge of them.  The things I try, even if they were things I thought were ‘really it’, I’m attempting to let go if they don’t seem to fit me once I’ve experienced them.  

Like hobbies I’ve done in the past.  I have had some wonderful hobbies.  Things I wish I still had time for.  But there are many more hobbies that I’d like to try out.  Something has to go. I can’t put my heart into so many things at one time!  

And I love to try new things.  It’s one of the joys in my life.  

Although the biggest joy in my life is my family.  No matter what, they are my biggest love.  My heart beats in time with the beat of love.  The universe is so full of wonder and excitement.  And there is no bigger excitement or thrill than opening your heart to family and friends.  

So while you’re on this vacation, on our glorious planet, remember to allow your heart to open to new experiences and most of all to family and friends.

try cutting a few of your herbs from your garden and making a bouquet as I did below.  They don’t always have to go in your recipes.  The fresh scent is lovely. 

WHAT A SUMMER!!!

We had a jam packed summer.  I've hardly been home to enjoy my garden...and boy that hurts!

When I have been home I've been working on new raw food recipes! ♡ Oh but that has been fun and rewarding :)

We have been so many places and enjoyed so many activities that I'll never remember them all.  I mentioned in my last post that we had been hiking, camping, having birthday parties, and summer fun.

                                      

That was fun :)

After that (and I hope I have all this in order) we were able to go, (Bill, Cathy, and myself) on a Tall Ship for lunch over on the other side of the state.  It was my sister's wedding anniversary.  We spent the night and shopped in Bay City and Frankenmuth which is always fun.

Plus we got to watch the July 4th fireworks from Bay City!  They are the best fireworks I have ever seen!

Okay.  I seem to have photo's running down in a row on my blog page.  I'm trying to group them together but can't figure out how to do it ~ ugh.

Anyhow, back to our summer :)

It was wonderful!  And I have so many more things to show you that I think I'll make the rest another post.  I hope you summer has been grand!

Enjoy life!

July 14th 2010 - Still learning about the new website.

Hi Everyone!!!

I wanted to fill you in on what's going on a bit.

At the moment I am grateful to finally have my website up and running.  There is still more to learn.  At this point I still need to add recipes for you, shopping, and a contact me page.  At this very moment I'm sitting in the Apple store learning what I can and can not do.

As far as what's happening... I've been working on creating recipes for a new ebook!  Enjoying the summer!  We've been camping (in horrible heat), spending time with family and friends, went to a water park, had summer picnic birthday parties, and hiking!  So far summer is wonderful!!!!  I hope your summer is as good.

I'm sorry this is so short but I'm spending most of my time trying to work on the website. :)

Enjoy Life!
Live Well!

I missed you

It's been a while since I've been on my blog.  I have to admit that I've been disappointed with my settings for this blog.  I have something set incorrectly and have been struggling to figured it out with out success.  So it turns out that it is hard for anyone to find me.  I've decided to keep posting for now and possibly move the blog to a new location.  If this is the way I end up doing it I will copy and paste all the information so no one loses anything.

That being said, I'm having some trouble posting my link for the vita-mix.  You really want a vita-mix, or you would if you knew how great they were.  I can no longer work without it.  I have many recipes that call for using the vita-mix and believe I need to get them posted so you can have access to them.  I want to give it a couple of more days of trying to get the link up and running first.

also, in the meantime... I have started taking an on-line class that I am loving!   Its about running a raw food business on-line.  I finish massage therapy school in April 2010.  I gave notice at work that the middle of March is when I am finished working there.  This will allow me to concentrate on my blog, start a website, start offering classes and massages.  I CAN NOT WAIT!!  I am so excited about life right now!!!  And I hope you are also!!!

Now, I have one more issue at the moment.  We bought a brand new computer.  It's an Apple which is our first Apple.  We both love it.  But I am learning how to use it.  One of the things I have not learned yet is how to upload photo's.  I have a ton of pictures in this computer but when I try to post one, the machine wants to post the entire album.  I WILL figure it out.

So I haven't abandoned you.  I'm just out learning.

Enjoy life!
Live Well!
