Fantabulous Finds

Checking out the 'gluten free' aisles/shelves at all the stores lately and man is most of it $$$.  Oh well, nothing beats great health and feeling fantastic.

Found the 'Riceworks' brand chips yesterday and although they don't differ much in calories from regular chips, they are made with brown rice and natural ingredients which leaves you feeling energized, instead of blah after eating them... just have to remember, "moderation in all things".


 The 'Salsa Fresca' are to-die-for.... yummmmm.  Of course, I bought them in every flavor.


Then, the other night at bookclub, my cute friend who was hosting had a tea party, since we'd read the book 'Major Pettigrew's Last Stand' (VERY English).  She went all out; cucumber sandwiches, biscuits, tarts, little cakes... so much fun.  Anyway. she served the most delicious herb tea... 'Tazo Rest Herbal Infusion' described as: A lulling blend of rose petals, valerian root and citrusy herbs... so amazing I went right out and bought a couple of boxes.  If "pretty" were a taste, this would be it.


Even the box is beautiful.

In July I made a decision.....

Sort of gave myself an ultimatum. No longer was I going to hole-up.... Not because of my health, not because of my body,  not because of any other insecurities that  rob me of moments  truly worth living. And I haven't. And August was one of the best months in  my 49 years of life.   And though sunflowers have always been for me been one of God's greatest  creations, seeing a field of miles and miles of them in northern Michigan  this summer brought me back to the symbol they have always stood for to me  and this simple phrase of words "face the Son".... my new mantra.

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Love languages

http://www.5lovelanguages.com/profile/ I've always known the love language my children speak.... since they were little. Rob took me a bit longer. I know my parents languages and lately I've been thinking much more about my siblings, Rob's siblings, and my dearest friends. It's taken years to figure out which one I am..... since it's been kind of a tie between three.... but recently, it finally happened.  And although it's one I'm not super pleased about, it is me.  It's what makes me feel secure and safe and loved.  And just because someone doesn't show me love in this certain way (because obviously we all have our own language), it doesn't mean I'm not going to have a connection with them.  It just means that in my deeply closest, most personal and intimately emotional relationships, this area is what does it for my heart.... and it's how my heart gives and shows it to others.
