Here are a few quick tips on adding some extra nutritional value to your life.
* Serve fresh fruit with pancakes instead of syrup.
* Add whole-wheat oatmeal to your pancake batter, and top with apple sauce (the unsweetened kind, or better from your homemade batch)
* Use whole-wheat tortilla chips with salsa as a snack, or switch to a soy chip, or rice cakes as a substitution for regular chips
* have a bowl of whole-grain cereal as a snack
* always eat whole grain bread, better yet, get a bread machine and make your own, maybe add nuts to your batter, ban the white stuff!
* add carrot puree to your spaghetti sauce, or meat loaf
* use canned pumpkin in cakes instead of the suggested fat (oil or butter)
Use this post as an inspiration to look closer to where you can add or substitute an ingredient. Experiment with your food, try out new things, look for labels that indicate a more health conscious choice. Try them out! Step out there and be adventures. Food is fun! Experimenting is fun! Trying new things is fun!
Have a wonderful day

Passion
What are you passionate about?
That feeling of being exhilarated, that tingling in every part of your being, which propels you forward with such a force, that all the obstacles crumble beneath the power of your passion.
If you know your passion, GO FOR IT! Do what makes you feel alive, lights your fire, makes your time go by faster, and which you could do forever, if you had the time!
May it be making culinary delights, like my husband, or may it be teaching others to soar above what they thought possible - which is mine.
DO IT!
The world will be a better place, just because you, more of you, lived your life doing what you desire to do!
If you have not discovered your passion, set your intend to finding it.
Ask to be shone what makes your heart sing. Be on the lookout, because now that you have asked, you will find it.
Time to light that fire!
Have a wonderful day!

Wishlist
I am sure, if you are like many of us, you have made a wishlist or received one in the last few weeks. Wishlists are a fun way to let someone know what you want, children know the effects, and aparently so do some major online companies, as you can publish your own wishlists, in places like amazon.com.
But have you made a wishlist for your life?
Goal-lists are in a sense a wishlist, for what you want to receive in life. You are asking, in detail what you want to have, achieve, experience.
Do you have a goal-list?
If you do not, make one today. Do not delay, as you have to ask for what you want in order to receive. Again, children are a natural at that fact. They know, they ask, constantly.
How detailed is your list?
Does your list cover all areas of your life? If you haven't take your time to check each of them today, thinking about what you really desire.
Dare to dream, dare to set goals. Set your intend.
And while you are setting your goals, make sure you intend some time for yourself.
Have a wonderful day!

The Core Jobs of an Abundant Life
In order to have a life of your dreams, there are a few core jobs, that need to be realized, to be fully productive in their process of co-creation:
1. Aquiring Knowledge
The more you know, the more informed choices you can make. Learn about finances, budgeting, time managment, organizing or whatever other information pertains to your situation and goal. Go to the expert, learn and watch.
2. Ask for Abundance
You can only receive what you asked for. Ask large, be bold, be specific.
3. Believe That You Will Receive
You would not by a lottery ticket, if you would not see a chance of winning, even if slim, would you? Do not set yourself up for failure by missing this step! You got to believe, what you asked for is possible. No knowing how you will get there, that is not your job, that belongs to the Universe, only that you will!
4. Be Grateful
It makes you feel good, because you are focusing on what is already great in your life, and with that raises your vibration to receive more.
5. Take Inspired Actions
If you feel the urge to take an action, then do it! Your inner wisdom and energy will guide yo toward actions you need to take to reach your goals! Listen to your intution! Do it!
6. Creating the Possibility of Abundance for Others
By being open and accepting of others alone (remember the law of acceptance!), you can raise the possibility of abundance for otherse. It is possible to increase that effect by giving more, whichin return will raise your own vibration. Giving forward brings joy and satisfaction.
Use those steps daily and wisely. Keep your eye on what you want, and go for it! It is time to claim the live you are able to life. Start today!
Have a wonderful day!

Inspiration - What inspires you?
Motivation and Inspiration are, while related quite difference.
Motivation is what keeps you going after the initial spark. It is what carries you through to the next step, even if life through distractions at you.
Inspiration on the other hand, is that spark that ignites the passion. It is what makes you set your intend in the first place, making you take a step toward action.
So, I am asking you today: What inspires you?
Make a list, write it down, and look at it for a moment. Some of those inspirations will come from within, some from outside sources.
Why am I asking you to do this?
Because I want you to look at your list a little closer. Pick one thing, anything of that list, and do that! Go ahead, let yourself get inspired today, to take an action toward change, may it be a change within you or an action that changes a part of your world.
Take a step, get inspired, do something, today.
A life lived full of passion, is a life lived to the fullest.
Have a wonderful day!
