Roasted cauliflower and blackened tilapia

Mixed cauliflower with avocado oil, garlic, s&p, lemon juice and roasted at 425 deg for 25 min (turning twice). 

Tilapia with s&p and sautéed for about 4min per side. Blackened by accident ;)


Gosh it has felt great the last few days to get back to cooking again! I feel fantastic (though a bit hungry in the mid-morning). 

Nice to get back to interesting up a storm for easy ideas. Nice too to not have to wait for the delivery guy to get here ;)

Here's to a happier and healthier and back to my old-self 2015!!! And to you, my friends - all the best! Xoxo

Gratitude. It's hard to feel so sad when I remember how big the world and the universe are. I will try to think bigger thoughts...

1. Grateful for a rewarding and challenging career with fabulous clients and coworkers (and travel perks)

2. Grateful for a generally positive outlook and knowing that it is statistically unlikely that I will actually keel over from heartbreak. 

3. Grateful to have experienced deep and meaningful and completely transformative love in my life, even if it was fleeting. Some people live their whole lives without getting to love like that, and I will not regret a day of it. 

I will work on my grace, my gratitude and acting while in dis-ease, in a fashion I will respect later. As much as I can too, I will love and forgive myself and try to be empathetic to this general malaise and yuckyness that is here right now. 

I will try my best.

Rekindling gratitude.

Been in a less sunshiny place than usual. Kind of funk where you can keep doing the normal routine, there's just a dark cloud over my heart. I am hoping to practice some gratitude daily to help to ease that weight a bit.

1. Grateful for outdoor showers. One of my favorite things of all time!
2. Grateful when my best friend reaches out a hand out to hold mine when we walk. 
3. Grateful to have a home to call my own and slowly make my sanctuary.

Time to remember the world is bigger than my thundercloud. Have to practice.
