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 ...

My Cup O Tea

Over the years I have become a fan of tea.  My favourites are non-caffeine.  Green Teas, herbal teas and rooibus.  Almost any loose leaf tea will do.  I once got chamomile tea from a friends parents and it was really just a whole baggie of chamomile flowers.....it was from a place in Sarnia, Ontario but I am not sure exactly where.  It just seems so much fresher when you can recognize it by sight.... In June while on vacation I found a tea store selling hand tied leaves.  What a fantastic aroma of jasmine.  It is the Madame Butterfly tea by Capital Teas (www.capitalteas.com).  It was very expensive and I just couldn't afford it but they certainly had lots of great teas. My most recent vacation in Florida found me in the Spice and Tea Exchange (www.spiceandtea.com) where I purchased a small bag of loose leaf hazelnut cookie tea.  Ceylon black base so not my usual herbal but wonderful smell and tastes very rich.  An enjoyable tea....
