🍽️ My Daughter's Culinary Magic: Cabbage, Cauliflower & Sweet Plantains

Where my healthy food loveRs at ?!🤘 Let me spill thee tea on my daughter's latest kitchen creation that's got me vibin' with cabbage like never before. Did you know cabbage is like a secret weapon for shedding some pounds? It's like nature's ninja of weight management!

My beautiful daughter whipped up a blend of cabbage, cauliflower, and sweet plantains that'll you will LOVE. MY daughter's got quite thee sense of humor. She hit me with her classic line of, "Don't complain," as she served it up. My hungry brain went into overdrive, thinking she'd accidentally turned it into a spicy volcano I couldn't handle. Cause thats been done before. I am also on day five of my intermittent fasting  (originally meant to be three days, but life had other plans). But thee real deal behind her warning? Portion control! She wants me to approach it like a bird, while I'm here ready to devour it like a beast with a big appetite. In other words, this is my plate & that is all thee food she made. There are no leftovers or anything left to serve myself more. So i look down at all this deliciousness knowing that once i am done, thats it ! 🧐

Fun fact about cabbage: it's not just delicious, but it's also a low-calorie powerhouse that can help support weight loss. So, picture me, savoring each bite like it's my last meal, hoping it'll keep thee hunger at bay. 'Cause, you know, it's all about chowing down when you're truly hungry. We've got to be smart about what we put into our bellies for our own well-being.

Anyhoo, Thanks for hanging out on this food adventure with me, spiced up with some good ol' family humor. I'm writing this as I eat, belly growling, trying my best not to inhale thee entire plate in three seconds flat. 😅✨ #HealthyEating #CabbageMagic #FamilyFoodFun #hunger #Hungry 

Dear Diary Musings #2: Unveiling the Distorted Mirage of Self-Care in the Cosmetic Enhancement Craze

 Dear Diary,

I find myself deeply immersed in thoughts about thee perplexing relationship between self-care & thee growing trend of cosmetic enhancements. It's a topic that stirs both passion & deep concern within me. 

I can't help but feel that thee concept of self-care has been somewhat distorted in today's world, where people often resort to altering their appearances as a means of self-improvement. While I firmly believe that individuals have thee freedom to make choices about their bodies, it's impossible to ignore thee profound influence of societal conditioning on these decisions.

It's as though we've lost touch with thee true essence of thee self. People may argue that they have thee right to change their looks as they see fit, and they are correct. But my heart aches when I wonder if these alterations truly address thee underlying issues of body dysmorphia & unhealed selves that may be lurking beneath thee surface.

Cosmetic enhancements & life-altering changes have become todays norm & it's challenging for me to accept that this is a sign of mental, emotional & spiritual well-being. It’s really NOT! One has nothing to do with thee other. I feel like many souls are masking their true selves behind layers of surgeries, enhancements or plans to do these things - wanting to do these things that will forever alter their natural appearance without thee possibility of going back.

Call me old-fashioned or different in my opinions, but I can't be convinced that someone repeatedly changing their face & appearance is truly healthy inside their mind, heart, body & soul. Make it make sense. It leaves me pondering how we arrived at a point where people no longer want to be themselves. This is a sad conditioning to realize about thee many people of our world. 

When did self-care become so entwined with thee desire to be someone else entirely? Self care got NOTHING to do with aesthetics to these degrees. It’s only been made to appear to be that way. 

If I could, I would embrace every soul in this world & assure them that they are perfect just as they are. These thoughts on my mind anointed for articulation.  Thee human in me is left with thee most pressing question of all: How did it become thee new norm to not want to be oneself anymore?

Like wtf ? How is this HEALTHY ? 

It’s not ! It’s TWISTED NEW AGE dumbness due to numbness and it’s being sold wildly on thee market at thee thing we must all accept as thee new norm. 

Till next time over and out 🤍

🐱 Meet our MerMCats, thee foodies of thee feline world! 😻

So, here’s thee kitty scoop: Our little #kitten #Eden got a taste for the good stuff and started sneaking over to the #big cats’ food bowls. 🍽️ But, surprise, surprise! The big #cats were eyeing her meal too! 😼

We thought it was all about the food, but turns out, it’s a classic case of “the grass is always greener on the other side.” 🌿 So, we played food #scientist and gave them all the same chow. And guess what? They still insisted on a plate swap! 😂

Dear diary musings : chats with god about god # 1

 

Dear diary,

These thoughts race through my mind when I hear folks speak of God in masculine terms, but let me be clear, I'm not advocating for a feminine-only deity. We're all created in God's image, and in that image, there's room for both the divine masculine and feminine. However, our daily conditioning has thrown a wrench into the works, sowing confusion and doubt.

I truly believe our connection with God goes beyond what we can see; it's about nurturing our own spiritual growth and forging a deep bond with the creator. I can't be the only one wrestling with this in a world that often insists you pick a side, believe without question, or face rejection. Can't life be more than just black and white?

Why is it that we have to defend our right to ask questions? Why can't we challenge the words people use to describe God? Does it mean we doubt our creator or just the way human language tries to capture the divine? It's the complexity of being human that's caused wars, where we end up fighting ourselves.

I'm puzzled why some people readily accept a language without trying to understand it fully, blindly following their own tongue's teachings without question. I'm not interested in discussing God with those who refuse to listen, who shut out anything that doesn't match their preconceived notions.

Our collective human consciousness, often lost in its own chaos, needs a divine transformation to find its way. God isn't limited to being either "he" or "she"; it's an omnipotent force that encompasses both, depending on how we approach it.

Maybe, this is how I'll navigate this crazy human journey—by finding clarity in my own understanding, nurturing inner wisdom, and reaching a profound insight that transcends mere knowledge. Yes, this path feels right, like a passionate fire burning within.

Until next time, over and out.

Rising Above Negativity: Thriving in the Face of Unsupportive Behaviors

 

Thee phenomenon where some people are less inclined to show support & love when someone is doing well for themselves can be attributed to a variety of factors:

1. **Jealousy and Envy:** Some individuals may feel jealous or envious when they see someone else succeeding. They might compare their own situation to the successful person's and feel inadequate or resentful.

2. **Insecurity:** People who are insecure about their own accomplishments or abilities may find it challenging to genuinely celebrate someone else's success. They may worry that the success of others highlights their own shortcomings.

3. **Fear of Change:** Success often brings change, and change can be unsettling for some people. They may fear that a successful person's priorities or lifestyle will change, and they may distance themselves as a result.

4. **Misunderstanding:** Sometimes, people may not fully understand the challenges and hard work that led to another person's success. They might assume that success came easily and therefore feel less inclined to show support.

5. **Competitive Nature:** In a competitive society, some individuals may view success as a limited resource. They might see someone else's success as a threat to their own chances of achieving similar success.

6. **Lack of Empathy:** Some people may simply lack the empathy or emotional intelligence to recognize and celebrate the achievements of others.

It's important to note that not everyone reacts this way to others' success. Many people genuinely celebrate the accomplishments of friends and loved ones. However, understanding these possible reasons for such behavior can help individuals navigate relationships and better support each other's successes.

Handling behavior where people are less inclined to show support & love when you're doing well can be challenging, but here are some strategies and affirmations that can help:

**1. Maintain Your Authenticity:**

   - *Affirmation:* "I embrace my authenticity and stay true to my path, regardless of others' reactions."

**2. Cultivate Gratitude:**

   - *Affirmation:* "I am grateful for my successes and the support I receive, even if it's not from everyone."

**3. Communicate Openly:**

   - *Affirmation:* "I express my feelings and share my successes openly and honestly."

**4. Surround Yourself with Positivity:**

   - *Affirmation:* "I attract positive and supportive individuals into my life."

**5. Focus on Self-Love:**

   - *Affirmation:* "I love and value myself, regardless of external opinions."

**6. Show Empathy:**

   - *Affirmation:* "I understand that everyone has their own journey and challenges."

**7. Set Healthy Boundaries:**

   - *Affirmation:* "I establish boundaries that protect my well-being and positivity."

**8. Celebrate Others:**

   - *Affirmation:* "I genuinely celebrate the successes of others and spread positivity."

Remember that you can't control how others react, but you can control your own responses & beautiful mindset. Affirmations can help you maintain a positive and confident outlook while dealing with such behavior. Surround yourself with those whom genuinely support and uplift you & focus on your personal growth and well-being.
