2019: Great things are happening!!

Last year closed out with a numerology reading at a wellness fair I attended.  Long story made short, I am a bunch of sevens and this year is my 8th in a 9 year rotation...the eighth year is meant to be the year that all the hard work of the last 7 start to come to fruition.  

Last week I was approached by a group of Nicaraguan women in workout garb requesting use of my space.  Entonces, this week we will start offering Zumba classes in OnaWhim, monday-friday at 4pm.  

Last week marked the beginning of a new journal.  That is 2 that I have completed in less than 4 years...lol...I have unfinished journals spanning my whole life but now I have 2 that are full.  I have started a new one for the new year.  Who knows if its completion will coincide with the end of this year.  I change the layout so often its hard to calculate. 


I also baked cookies on Friday and Sunday of last week...they were both so delicious they soldout...very exciting new niche in Hotelito Dulce Mareas. 

A little more about the cookies now.   Both recipes were from a digital book I picked up called Lick the Bowl Good by Monica Holland.  I made the pecan butter balls on the left from page 108.  I made the recipe as it was written.  The midnight chocolate chip on the right are from page 111.
I used slightly less espresso powder since I only had the real grounds to work with.  I loved the cinnamon in them, subtle yet there...They are both on the short list to bake again soon!

I have many goals for the coming year.  I am constantly trying to improve my Spanish language skills, teach more yoga, do more massages, and look after myself better while eating healthy, drinking less and enjoying every day as it comes.  I am looking forward to growth and success in the coming year and I hope you continue to enjoy following my stories.

Week 2: Monday-Thursday

Day 5:  NO spending day.  It was a quiet Monday. Day 6:  I spent approx $6.00 to fill a prescription. I should probably update you on another goal I had for this year.  I have been trying to make it to the gym twice a week since January.  It doesn't seem like a big goal but some weeks it is tough. Truthfully I haven't made it even once in the last  two weeks but I got back on track today with a bootcamp class at the YMCA I go to.  Although I am not noticing much difference in my weight or how I look I have noticed a substantial difference in how I feel......GREAT!  I am also hoping it will translate into an improved softball season. I may never be in the shape I was at 20 again but I can certainly try and be closer than I am now. Today was also lunch date day.....my coworker brought pulled pork sandwiches with carrot stick and cherry tomatoes.  She also made chocolate peanut butter squares....ummm delicious.  I will have to get that ...

Read and read again!

Energy Healing: The Essentials of Self Care This one resonated with me. I could hardly put it down and that is unusual for me with a book in this genre. It all started for me on page 10 with a great composite view of different energy anatomies that had been explained in the preceding pages. For me, it really brought together the Chinese medicine, Thai massage, chakras and aura system in relation to each other. The healing stories through opening our connections to the energy fields of the universe were motivating and interesting to read. The first exercise I tried was the first one in the book "toe tapping". It's a pretty simple exercise so following the instructions was easy. I only kept it up for about a week but I believe I did start to feel benefits. I like to meditate and I am always looking for new ideas. This book provided. I still want to try the metta meditation and many of the other meditations that are throughout the book. I still have a numb...

Another Week

Monday Today I spent $5.21 on ingredients for the lunch I am making for my Tuesday lunch date.  A few weeks ago I made roasted cauliflower with brown butter and linguine.  I did not enjoy it at all and would not make it again.....but I turned the left over roasted cauliflower into soup and froze it.  It is absolutely delicious, I had a bowl for lunch today. Tuesday I bought a cup of tea for $1.77.  I made an asparagus goat cheese toss for my lunch date today.....wow yummy.. I found the recipe on the Canadian Living website.   I will definitely make that again and it was so easy to make. Wednesday NO spending day!  What I did do is finish the third book in The Hunger Games trilogy.  That means I read all three books since last Saturday.  It is a great series even for an adult.  I could hardly put it down.  Now I need to find something else to read.  Any suggestions? Thursday I got gas and took out $20 in cash....so $40 tota...
