Hard times are often blessings in disguise.


Hard times are often blessings in disguise.

Let go and let life strengthen you.

No matter how much it hurts, hold your head up and keep going.

This is an important lesson to remember when you’re having a rough day, a bad month, or a crappy year.

Truth be told, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones we need the most.

Your past was never a mistake if you learned from it.

So take all the crazy experiences and lessons and place them in a box labeled “Thank You.”

Pasta Puttanesca Recipe


 

Ingredients

·         1 pound (16 ounces) dried pasta 

·         1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

·         1/2 cup yellow onion, diced 

·         8 cloves garlic, minced

·         (1) 2 ounce tin flat anchovy fillets in olive oil, drained 

·         1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 

·         1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

·         1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, roughly chopped 

·         3 tablespoons capers, drained 

·         1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes

·         1/2 cup dry white wine 

·         1/4 teaspoon black pepper 

·         1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, chopped 

·         1/2 cup fresh basil, roughly chopped 

·         1/4 teaspoon salt, more if needed 

Instructions

1.   Warm the oil in a large saucepan over medium-heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add in the garlic, anchovies, oregano, and crushed pepper to skillet and saute the mixture until the anchovies have dissolved entirely and the garlic is slightly golden, about 2 minutes.

2.   Add olives, capers, tomatoes, white wine, black pepper, and parsley. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat, and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes. Toss in the basil and salt and cook for another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. 

3.   While the sauce simmers, cook your pasta. 

4.   Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil, add a dash of salt then add in the pasta and cook according to package instructions. 

5.   When the pasta is finished cooking, drain well then add it to the sauce and toss to combine.

6.   Plate and top with cheese, if desired.

Be Like a Tree

 


Be like a tree. Stay grounded. Connect with your roots. Turn over a new leaf. Bend before you break. Enjoy your unique natural beauty. Keep growing.



Always grow towards the light.


Even the smallest scratch can have lasting effects.


Grow deep roots.


Provide refuge for others.


Grow sweet fruits for others to enjoy, even if it takes many years for the seeds you sowed to come into their own.

                                 


 Let your leaves return to the earth.


Be supple in the wind.


Grow stronger through your life experiences.


Be impactful.


Here's a dozen of my favorite things never to apologize for:


1) Never apologize for acting on your instincts.
2) Never apologize for being passionate.
3) Never apologize for being smart.
4) Never apologize for demanding respect.
5) Never apologize for saying no.
6) Never apologize for not embracing someone else's agenda.
7) Never apologize for disagreeing.
8) Never apologize for your faith.
9) Never apologize for your own sense of creativity.
10) Never apologize for ordering dessert.
11) Never apologize for being funny.
12) Never apologize for living your truth.


Every one of us casts a shadow.

There hangs about us, a sort of a strange, indefinable something, which we call personal influence--that has its effect on every other life on which it falls. It goes with us wherever we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have it--and then lay aside when we will, as we lay aside a garment. It is something that always pours out from our lives . . . as light from a lamp, as heat from flame, as perfume from a flower.

The ministry of personal influence is something very wonderful. Without being conscious of it, we are always impressing others by this strange power that exudes from us. Others watch us--and their thinking and actions are modified by our influence."

"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity." Ephesians 5:15-16
