Sunny comes prepared!

Girl brought her Baci Boy, food, treats, training pads, eye cleaner, paper towel and even her Vet folder! She is officially a travelling doggie!
Were all in Laval (the Loire region) for the next three days on a business trip. I can't wait to explore another corner of France. I'll let you know what I find out.

What to do with lettuce the size of your head?

No, no! not Cabbage head!
I said, Lettuce head!!!

We bought an amazing fresh gorgeous head of curly endive lettuce at the market on Saturday and now I am wondering what the hell to do with it! Geeze louise! I've made salads! I've cooked it in omlettes like spinach! I've put it in quinoa! What else is there?! I need help because every time I open my fridge the lettuce head seems to have grown and I am now turning into one!

Love and hugs

Top three


Why worry?
These two words, considered sincerely, can radically reconfigure the landscape of your mind. Worry rarely leads to positive action; it's just painful, useless fear about hypothetical events, which scuttles happiness rather than ensuring it. Some psychologists say that by focusing on gratitude, we can shut down the part of the brain that worries. It actually works!



Where am I wrong?
This might well be the most powerful question on our list—as Socrates believed, we gain our first measure of intelligence when we first admit our own ignorance. Your ego wants you to avoid noticing where you may have bad information or unworkable ideas. But you'll gain far more capability and respect by asking where you're wrong than by insisting you're right.



Are my thoughts hurting or healing?
Your situation may endanger your life and limbs, but only your thoughts can endanger your happiness. Telling yourself a miserable mental story about your circumstances creates suffering. Telling yourself a more positive and grateful story, studies show, increases happiness. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, choose thoughts that knit your heart together, rather than tear it apart.

By Martha Beck
O, The Oprah Magazine


These are the top three questions I need to ask my self every few minutes to ensure mental health and freedom from aniexty and depression. Another one that's not on the above list is to ask for help from a higher source. We are never alone and we can't do it alone so why not pray? I'm telling you, it just feels good!!!!! So I ask you, Why Not?
