"Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity, but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression, and help you to put in perspective that seemingly terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously." -Og Mandino

Zesty Vegetable Lasagna Preparation Box of uncooked lasagna or oven ready, kale, spinach and chard, eggplant, garlic, tomatoes, scallions, zucchini, thyme, basil, ginger, 2 jars of pasta sauce (favorite is Italian herbs or roasted garlic and herbs), brown sugar, and mozzarella and cheddar cheese. Cut up: 1 medium sized eggplant into small squares 1 whole garlic finely 2 tomatoes into chunks. 3 scallions finely Couple Thyme and basil leaves thinly 2 zucchini into very thin slices. Put stove to a low fire and pour extra light olive oil. Add garlic and thyme and stir until brown. Add 3 spoons of brown sugar and stir until melted but not burnt! (Burnt sugar tastes bitter) See picture. Add all vegetables except for zucchini and fresh kale, spinich and chard. And stir right away. Season with your favorite no salt seasonings, sea salt, black pepper, cumin, herbs, garlic powder, paprika etc. You know your taste buds! Let seasoning cook into vegetables for at least 5 minutes. Let the eggplant start to turn brown. Add two jars of pasta sauce and taste. Season to your liking! I personally love a mildy sweet, and mildly spicy lasagna! If you want this add more brown sugar, ground ginger, and a little curry. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Place cooked noodles or oven ready noodles on pan and layer so that there are no spaces in between them. Cover noodles with sauce, then add kale, spinach and chard. Then top with zucchini. Cover top with mozzarella and mild cheddar cheese or vegan cheese if vegan. Skip the ricotta cheese (Way too much fat content with little flavor)! Repeat until pan is complete. Should yield approx. two pans, finish 2 boxes of lasagna, and finish all of your sauce. Place trays into oven and bake for approximately 30min until cheese is a light brown at top. Enjoy!! 😋🍴

Is life unfair or do we have unfair expectations of what life should be?

[holisticmindbodyspirit]

Yes...👌

New Years Resolution

My goal for 2015: write in a diary for the next 365 days. My purpose: to learn, understand and conquer myself. For I believe that self is our greatest limitation. I want to befriend my enemy; know her strengths, weaknesses, visions and dreams. Get inside her head. This should be interesting.😉 P.S. I encourage you all to try it as well.

Truth is Omnipresent for the one who seeks it

"For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." (Matthew 13:15)

This is a representation of a healthy relationship; equally nourishing one another and allowing each lovers mind to blossom freely all the while being supportive and naturally developing similar flowering thoughts and beliefs along the way.

Breast Cancer

Cancer is here and relentless. It does not care whether it is sunny outside, or a storm. It cares little about your energy level for the day. It lives, breathes and multiplies. To fight it our fight must also be relentless, our passion for life, happiness and desire for freedom from its bondage must be dire! Living healthy is an everlasting journey so long as your heart beats. On Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I challenge you to research breast cancer, share the news and make the necessary changes to reduce your risk and the risk of those around you. Peace be the journey!

So this is nowhere near my highschool PR of 18:34. But most importantly I’m still running and enjoying it even more. The adrenaline and the overcoming of your own mind and its barriers is addicting. Tomorrow morning we do it again. Creating traditions of running 5k’s and living healthy. Great photo from Fit&Healthy Mamas 5k. #runforyourhealth #runforhope #OnceARunnerAlwaysARunner
