A Wolfgang Puck French Toast Recipe That’s Perfect for a Lazy Weekend

We’ve been trying our hand at new, fun, flavorful recipes, and I was SO excited to check out this Wolfgang Puck cookbook, because it’s full of all of that. Good food without leaving you feeling guilty!

A favorite around our house, and especially when there’s a holiday weekend, is a slow breakfast around the table together! We all love different things, from eggs and bacon, to biscuits and gravy and more, but one thing everyone gets excited about is a good French Toast.

I knew that I had to try this one from Wolfgang Puck’s cookbook. With egg whites and low- ermilk in the mixture, there is fat cut out without sacrificing flavor. And the compote replaces an over-sugared syrup. Definitely a family-favorite I can feel good about.

Another cool factor point about the new Wolfgang Puck Make It Healthy cookbook, it’s also filled with a slew of healthy eating tips AND workouts to take a healthy family lifestyle up to the next level!

Make sure to check it out, but also, make sure to try this French toast recipe!!

Ingredients:

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

2 large egg whites

2 cups buttermilk

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp ground ginger

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp kosher salt

8 slices good-quality bread

Fresh Berry Compote:

3/4 cup fresh blueberries

3/4 cup fresh raspberries

3 tbsp honey

1 tbsp grated orange zest

3 ounces fresh orange juice

Pinch of kosher salt

@loaf,

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida I hope this day finds you doing very well. ✨🌹😎

Oz is beautiful today hey I hope I see you in Oodiebom’s Trivia. ✨

I can smell your fresh bread baking this reminds me of my mother. ✨😘🌹

@Sheba🌺🌺🌺🌺🦋🦋

Hello Sheba, it’s Friday and the weekend is upon us again. It seems each week goes by faster and faster.
The bunny is back and enjoying our backyard. There are quite a few butterflies around the beautiful butterfly bush.
This weekend we may work on the front yard. The bushes, greenery is getting to be to much.
Almost overwhelming.
I read your post last night. My cousin in Brazil is also taking her sweetie 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛ to get a bath and groomed. Her cat has very long hair and gets his whole face into the water bowl when drinking water. It’s cold there now and he doesn’t like when she tries to dry his face, or wipe his face in the mornings.
I had to look up Phytoceramides, didn’t know what it was.😊 Are you on a vitamin D3? We take that, it’s Andrew Lessman’s. Hubby had his doctor’s check up, was placed on Iron pills. He has low Iron. I told him, he has to a Brazilian and eat black beans every day 😋 He prefers his lentis, his Indian cuisine with his spices which he cooks. He was born in Madras, India. Come over to the USA as a small child.
Our air conditioner is on all year round. It’s set to automatic, it’s at 75 degrees. When Summer days goes passed 95F-105F🌞 it will be set to 72 degrees. In the Winter, which is only a handful of days it kicks on to heat automatically when the temperature in the house goes below 69. 🥶😂

Here’s wishing you, your hubby and Poppy a great weekend 🚵‍♀️ 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚵‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚵‍♀️🚴‍♀️
🦋🦋 Take care Sheba 🦋🦋🦋

@xango,

Good evening glad you are having a good Friday and hopefully a very nice weekend.

Xango the Phytoceramides are Andrew Lessman and I take many of his supplements.
Check out Diva’s Thread I post the pics and descriptions she gives the TS Dates.

I have been on Andrew Lessman’s Supplements for years.

Mr. Poppy will get groomed up tomorrow. I can’t believe Brazil is cold this time of year
I would love that. ✨🌹

I am over in Trivia I smell something good coming from your kitchen. 💕🌹

Something to keep you and hubby cool. 😘😎

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie you are a very busy woman.
Enjoy your shopping today. I did read your post from earlier and the way you
start Trivia is a winner. 🌹✨😎

I know you have a lot of paper work to do so good luck with that. ✨

Be sure to get some rest and see ya later. 😘🌹

Be safe driving home in the evenings. ✨

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California here is to a great day. OZ is beautiful today.

I am running errands doing this and that.

Enjoy the trails and Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

Sheba, Hello and Happy Friday. “Your attitude shapes your world” Best comment! ❤
Did some yard work today and we are still overcast.
The French toast looks so yummie and even better if someone else cooks it!

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. 😘😎 I hope you enjoyed the Stanley Cup. 😘😎

Here is to a great day sending gentle hugs to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘😎

I have been outdoors today doing things in the gardens with Poppy by my side.

I love the color you chose for your manicure. ✨🌹

@sheba2011

Good evening to you. Had my day at home doing a lot of this and that. Now I am tired and ready to relax. You know I wish you good luck with the game tonight, I just realized it was on.🤞🤞🤞🤞 I will be watching the score.👀

Mr. Poppy will be king of the day tomorrow!👑🐶👑 He will be strutting proud walking down the street with you.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Good Evening I am watching some of the Game this is tense these games always are. LOL!

@kittengirl,

Here’s looking at you Kitten. 😎

Common Courtesy

Common courtesy is a small gesture that makes a big difference and should be practiced as often as possible.

We often feel that we don’t have the time or energy to extend ourselves to others with the small gestures that make up what we call common courtesy. It sometimes seems that this kind of social awareness belongs to the past. Yet when someone extends this kind of courtesy to us, we always feel touched. Someone who lends a helping hand when we are struggling with our groceries makes an impression because many people just walk right by. Even someone who simply makes the effort to look us in the eye, smile, and greet us properly when entering a room stands out of the crowd. It seems these people carry with them the elegance and grace of another time, and we are always thankful for our contact with them. Common courtesy is a small gesture that makes a big difference.

An essential component of common courtesy is awareness and common sense—looking outside yourself to see when someone needs help or acknowledgment. As a courteous person, you are aware that you are walking into a room full of people or that your waiter has arrived to take your order. Then, awareness leads to action. It is usually quite clear what needs to be done—open the door for the woman holding the baby, move your car up two feet so another person can park behind you, acknowledge your sister’s shy boyfriend with a smile and some conversation, apologize if you bump into someone. A third component is to give courtesy freely, without expecting anything in return. People may not even take notice, much less return the kindness, but you can take heart in the fact that you are creating the kind of world you want to live in. Amen! ✨✨

Dancing Queen
Song by ABBA

Ooh
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music’s high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
You’re a teaser, you turn ’em on
Leave ’em burning and then you’re gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Ooh, see that girl
Watch that scene
Digging the dancing queen
Digging the dancing queen

@loaf,

@xango,

Good afternoon in Florida. I am having one of those days I am multi-tasking. ✨

I have been gone most of the morning so now I am just going to do very little. LOL!

I hope your day is going well. Oz should have rain today the flowers and yards need it.

Hey what’s are you cook up today? Perhaps it’s from the freezer you are that good. 💕😘✨

@Sheba🌺🌺🌺🌺🦋🦋

Hello Sheba, how are all those projects coming along today?
We have a bit of a large down pour but only for a moment. Didn’t last long, must of been a cloud passing by. I’ll take it, at least the plants got a drink of water.

I just finished making hubby a spinach omelet. Farm fresh eggs the Yolks are so orange and vibrant. Sautéed a little onion, then the spinach and garlic. Two eggs, a splash of milk, a pinch of oregano, thyme, Rosemary, salt and saffron.
I just had me some afternoon coffee, which is rare for me. I usually have only one cup of coffee a day. But I felt like having some coffee and bread. Later I might heat me something for a late dinner.
It’s hot here, 87 out there right now and it’s 6:30PM. How is your air quality, have your area been affected by the fires in Canada?

Take care Sheba 🌹 🌹🌹🌹🌹

@xango,

Oz is alright today we had some rain and may have a bit more tonight I hope so. 😎✨

Hey I had a Egg Spinach Pita from Starbucks I had errands to do and had to pick up
things for Poppy. My boy is going to get groomed on Saturday. Poppy is beautiful getting
all spiffy. 😘🌹

It feels good to get out and about especially with all I have been through. ✨

I will not look back and I am moving it forward. It’s life that is all I can say.

I will have labs done next week and a six month planned visit to my Primary Care Physician
This is one appointment I want over one and done especially after Covid-19 I want to make
sure everything is alright. My faith will get me there. ✨

I wish I could have fresh bread and coffee with you and I know it will be great. Hey turn on
the A/C ours is on I have it on a setting that I don’t have to change too often.

I love your spices that takes talent to grow them properly. I am going to take a Perlier Shower
I have the huge black gallon of the honey. My skin feels like a baby because as part of my
diet I use Andrew Lessman’s Phytoceramides love this and many in the HSN Community use
this supplement. I have used it for over seven years all I do is put on a moisture after my shower
and I am good to go.

Hey enjoy your evening✨🌹 We had a Salmon and Salad for dinner we sat on our patio.
Sending good night vibes. 😘 Xango some parts of Kansas were affect by the fires for a few days but not like
New York City or Washington. Thank god and I will be glad when this is over the fire and people safe back in their homes.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Oodie is alright to vent I think anyone with
all those irons in the fire need to let it out every now and then. ✨

So glad your husband is improving and I do hope they have started his medicine.
This is vital so he can move forward and you too. ✨🌹

All the trash and other things are gone it is always a good feeling on Thursday when I put
everything out. 😎✨🌹

How is the Cart working for you I hope you get a lot of use out of it especially when you go
to the market. 😎

Oodie what is going on in your corner of the world? I have had a busy day and I still have
things to do. That’s Life! ✨

I am hoping the people in the States affected by this wild fire will be alright.

Let me know how you are doing when you have the time.

@sheba2011

Yes, I did the recycle today. I mean yesterday. Not enough for the garbage collection. I will do that on Monday. I did make a stop at Costco. Picked up a couple of their small coolers which also come with an ice pak and a container. This will fit nicely into the cart. Hubby wants ice cream and this will serve that purpose. I think I spent over 3 hours in the warehouse. Gosh, time sure flies when you are having fun. Also filled the gas tank. Gas at Costco was $3.13/gal.. On my way to the Rehab, the gas stations were $3.11. On my way home gas was $3.45. YIKES, what a difference.

Hubby is now able to sit up by himself and dangle his feet over the edge of the bed. His dementia seems only to flair when his sugar is low. Now I wonder if I hit on something as to a cause. Something to think about. Yes, I brought hubby a hotdog and soda. I use empty plastic water bottles for the soda so it does not spill. I ordered a Caesar salad instead. Enough left over for two meals.

Sorry you had to hear my tirade on Tropicana, I did need to vent. However, what I wrote is absolutely true. The aroma coming from the plant is really bad. What I didn’t say, is that the oranges, I mean the juice, sits on a shelf for approximately six months before it is sent to the markets. Hubby used to drink this like it was going out of style. According to the urologist, it’s the one thing that can hurt both the bladder and the kidneys. Of course it isn’t only the orange juice, it’s also all citrus fruits whether fresh, concentrate or juice on the shelf.

With hubby being able to sit up by himself, means I won’t be straining the back muscles. It will just be a helpful maneuver either to a wheelchair or the walker. I think he realized this seeing me bent over because of my back. Cannot wait to get him home.

Today, I need to make quite a few stops. Dollar and a Quarter Tree, Aldi’s and Lowes. I saw a couple of plants at Lowes that will attract both a butterfly and hummingbird. It just seems that there aren’t enough hours in a day to do everything.

Unlike xango, we have seen no rain. Very muggy tonight. Humidity is over 86%, We have had the clouds, but nothing happens. Have a great Friday. Will get Trivia started a bit early. Hope to be home to joun everyone at a secent time. I really do not enjoy driving alone late at night..

@taci,

Good morning in S. California may this be a great day for a nice Hike. 😎✨🌹

Enjoy the view OZ is raining off and on so me and Mr. Poppy have had a day.

Well duty calls. Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh and may this day find you doing very well. 😘😎✨
Thanks for the support last night and you were so right. Hey it’s not over yet
with the NBA Finals. ✨😎

My family is a sports family and they do this on any given Sunday during Football season
and they don’t always cheer for Colorado. The family have many teams they support.

One of my brothers is on his way to Minnesota with his family they are going to a family
Cabin up in the woods of Minnesota off a Lake. ✨I tell you that is one of our mother’s favorite
spots. I love Minnesota too but I like the Mountains of Colorado the most. 😎😘

Enjoy the day and the time with your family. Sending hugs to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘✨🌹

@sheba2011

Great job last night!✨👍✨👍 Sure hope it continues. Hockey game tonight – I like both teams but I hope Florida wins to make it competitive and the finals last a little longer.

Gorgeous flowers, love the peach tones. Went with mom and sis today and I got a peach color on my toes.💅 Wanted a light summer color. Last time I got a light purple/lilac for spring and my husband said it looked like I had a disease on my toes, lol!😂

Nothing planned for tomorrow, hoping to stay home one day this week. Need to catch up on laundry/cleaning/mail. I’m sure hubs will hit the golf course or range.🏌️‍♂️ The cabin in Minnesota sounds wonderful. With your big family, you have many great places to visit.

You and Poppy have a relaxing evening, hugs back to you both.🤗💖

@shoelady60

Sit back and enjoy the Games they are interesting. 😎✨We have some nice homes in
the Mountains of Colorado I love going up there in the winter. 🌹✨

As soon as I am back on my feet I am going to hit the road and never look back.

I love the Peach Color it’s warm yet still full of color. Glad you girls had a good time. 🌹

Enjoy the games and have a great night. I am going for a nice Perlier Shower. I do hope we
get just a bit of rain. ✨🌹

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten sending you a Thursday hug and I pray all is well with you and the family. ✨

Self-Determination

Before making a decision, release your fear of making the wrong one.

Our lives are defined by the decisions we make each day. When we choose one option over another, whether we are selecting a restaurant or considering a cross-country move, we shape our lives. The decision-making process can be empowering, allowing us to enjoy the benefits of self-determination. Yet it can also be a source of anxiety because decisions force us to face the possibility of dissatisfaction and inner conflict. As a result, many of us avoid making decisions by allowing others to make them for us. We consequently turn our power over to spouses, relatives, friends, and colleagues, granting them the stewardship of our lives that should be ours. Though the decisions we must make are often difficult, we grow more self-sufficient and secure each time we trust ourselves enough to choose.

Ultimately, only you can know how the different options impact your daily life and your long-term well-being. You have the power to competently weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each selection. Even if you feel incapable of making a decision, your inner wisdom and intuitive mind will give you sound counsel if you have faith in yourself. Try to come to your own conclusions before seeking the guidance of others, and even then, treat their suggestions as supplementary information rather than votes to be tallied. Before making your choice, release your fear of making the wrong one. Perceived mistakes can lead you down wonderful and unexpected paths that expose you to life-changing insights. If you can let go of the notion that certain choices are utterly right while others are entirely wrong, you will be less tempted to invite others to take the reins of your destiny.

When your choices are your own, you will be more likely to accept and be satisfied with the outcome of those choices. Your decisions will be a pure reflection of your desires, your creativity, your awareness, and your power. Since you understand that you must live with and take responsibility for your decisions, you will likely exercise great care when coming to conclusions. As you learn to make informed and autonomous choices, you will gain the freedom to consciously direct the flow of your life without interference. AMEN! ✨✨

Help Yourself
Song by Tom Jones

Love is like candy on a shelf
You want to taste and help yourself
The sweetest things are there for you
Help yourself take a few
That’s what I want you to do
We’re always told repeatedly
The very best in life is free
And if you want to prove it’s true
Baby, I’m telling you
This is what you should do
Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms
Just say the word and they’re yours
Just help yourself to the love in my heart
Your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms
And then let’s really start to live
Alright, hahahaha, yeah
My heart has love enough for two
More than enough for me and you
I’m rich with love, a millionaire
I’ve so much, it’s unfair
Why don’t you take a share
Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms
Just say the word and they’re yours
Just help yourself to the love in my heart
Your smile has opened up the door
The greatest wealth that exists in the world
Could never buy what I can give
So help yourself to my lips, to my arms
And then let’s really start to live
Just help yourself to my lips, to my arms
Just say the word and they’re yours

What’s New Pussycat?
Song by Tom Jones

What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Pussycat, pussycat
I’ve got flowers and lots of hours to spend with you
So go and powder your cute little pussycat nose
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat nose
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Pussycat, pussycat
You’re so thrilling and I’m so willing to care for you
So go and make up your big little pussycat eyes
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat eyes
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa
What’s new pussycat? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Pussycat, pussycat
You’re delicious and if my wishes can all come true
I’ll soon be kissing your sweet little pussycat lips
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat lips (whoa whoa), you and your pussycat eyes (whoa whoa)
You and your pussycat nose

Thunderball
Song by Tom Jones

He always runs while others walk;
He acts while other men just talk.
They call him the winner who takes all;
And he strikes like Thunderball
He knows the meaning of success;
His needs are more so he gives less.
He looks at this world and once in all;
Then he strikes like Thunderball
Any woman he wants, he’ll get;
He will break any heart without regret
His days of asking are all gone;
His fight goes on, and on, and on.
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all;
So he strikes like Thunderball…

@loaf,

@xango,

Good day in Florida. 😎🌹✨Hope you are feeling better today. OZ will have some
rain later today and we need it.

What’s in the Fridge? Yeah the little critters are still coming. ✨✨

@sheba2011🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🦋🦋🦋

Hello Sheba, woke up to huge blasts of thunder. Thunder after thunder, and then it stopped and no rain. Everything dry again, the plants need water. Will have to wait until tomorrow.
I did see the bunny both yesterday and today. We had the people come by and cut the grass yesterday. It was on Thursdays, now they changed it to Tuesdays.

I forgot to mention how beautiful the full Moon was this month. Between 2AM and 3AM it comes across the bathroom window. It lights up the bathroom with two streaks of light.
How is your garden coming along? Years ago I purchased a butterfly bush from either QVC or HSN, funny I can’t remember from which. Each year it gives me flowers, but not so much. This year that butterfly bush is producing such beautiful flowers, more than any other year. It smells so sweet and very colorful, hues of purple, pink, and blue.

Take care Sheba 🌹 🌹🌹🌹💜

@xango,

My gardens are coming along fine remember we had a cold spell for a long time.
I did not plant until the very end of May so they are coming along fine. 🌹😎💕

Save your water and wait for the rain we are suppose to get some good rain tonight.

I have been seeing butterflies but I can see them while I am in the car it lets me know
my father is fine. 🌹😘My mother loves Tom Jones just covering some of his songs. 💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf of Florida. ✨🌹I hope you are not over doing anything.
Are you still raining? Enjoy the visit to your husband please let me know how
that goes.

I am hoping he has his meds by now. I know you are too.

Oz is fine today we are suppose to have rain. I say it’s alright. 🎶🎶

@sheba2011

I thought I would stop everything and drop in to say Hi. I found hubby in the TV room yesterday. He calls it the Living Room. There were a few people there and I was happy to see he was having a conversation. The guys were watching “The Wheel” and then followed by “Jeopardy.”I’m trying to get him interested in “Jeopardy.” Tons of brain questions. He loved it when I answered correctly. It was fun.

No new meds were delivered when I arrived yesterday. However, one of the nurses mentioned that they knew the one that was needed and it would be delivered either that evening or first thing in the am. He will need to be on this pill for five days. I still do not know what time his procedure is scheduled for a week from today. I’m leaving the entire day opened, so I’m good.

Hubby was good yesterday and I stayed almost to 9:45 pm. His roommate did not like the idea that I was driving by myself at that hour. He mentioned I should keep the cell handy just in case. Not a bad idea. However, at that hour, no traffic. Just the 8 traffic lights to contend with.

I will be heading out shortly. Going to make a couple of stops on my way to the rehab. One is definitely Lowes. Talk to you later.

@oodiebom,

Oodie we are about to get rain and it sounds like your husband is getting back to normal.
The fact he is in the TV Room and having a conversation or two is good.

I hope he gets his medicine and quick. ✨

Oodie get some rest you run like no one I know. 🌹✨😎

@sheba2011

New milestone today. Hubby was able to go from a prone position to sitting on the side of his bed. That means I will be able to bring him the wheelchair or the walker without a problem. I can handle this. I was so pleased. He is saying he will be walking soon.

The worse part of going to the rehab is passing the Tropicana factory. The odors coming from the plant are atrocious. How anyone can drink that orange juice is beyond my comprehension. I know the odor definitely has to be the fermentation process. Horrid. Just horrid. The smell permeates the van even with the A/C on. Then you must go over their RR tracks which makes my car sway. Sometimes I think the van will fall apart. I just had to vent. So sorry.

@taci,

Good Morning in S. California I see you are in the closets getting things done. 😎✨

I don’t need a lot of things anymore. I will treasure what I have and give the rest away.

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶🌹

@shoelady60,

Good day in the beautiful ‘burgh. Lady if you are running around enjoy the day. ✨

I have errands to go out and about tomorrow. I don’t mind it at all.

How are your mother and sister doing? Hope hubby is having fun on the Gulf Course. ✨

Oz is fine today a wee bit warm but alright. ✨🌹😎😘

Sending cool hugs to you and Jake’s Canvas. ✨✨

@sheba2011

Hope you are having a good Wednesday. Ran to just two places today, nothing like the last few days. Meeting mom and sis tomorrow to get nails done and then lunch.💅🍝

Another gorgeous day, mid 70s and no humidity, although the whole state is getting the smoke/haze from the wild fires in Canada. Tomorrow is a high alert day for air quality.😮 We may finally get a little rain on Friday to blow this away.🌧

Good luck with the game tonight, they can do it.🏀👍 That’s why they are in the finals. Sending back hugs and love to you and Poppy.🤗💖

@shoelady60,

Colorado had a lot of haze and smell of the fire. My family kept the windows closed and
had to be careful.

Life went on that is for sure. Lady New York City is another story I would not even go there.
I hope everything takes caution.

Thanks for a shout on the NBA Finals. 😎🌹💕

@sheba2011

LOOKIN’ GOOD!!!!!!!👏👍

@kittengirl,

Here’s looking at you Kitten have a wonderful day. 😎🌹✨

Chakra Clearing Exercise

Just as the spaces we inhabit need to be cleared of clutter, our energetic fields must also be cleared of the old.

Just as the physical spaces we inhabit require that we clear them periodically of clutter, the energetic fields that are a vital part of our being must also be cleared of old thoughts, energy, and emotions. Clearing your chakras and your aura restores and strengthens your connection to yourself and your divine inner wisdom. Unfettered by energetic baggage masquerading as fear, pain, and self-hatred, your consciousness is once again free to grow. If you find the thought of clearing your energy fields disconcerting, simply think of it as cleansing the energy that surrounds you and releasing any stagnancy. You may not be able to see the results of your efforts, but you will experience a lightness of being and clarity of mind.

You can begin by sitting or lying down on a comfortable surface. Take a series of deep breaths and allow your soul to connect with Mother Earth and the vast expanse of the Universe. Visualize your first chakra, situated near the tailbone, and a valve opening there, much like a faucet. Imagine a cord dropping from your tailbone deep into Mother Earth and let everything that is stagnant within you flow through it. Let go of old energy, inactive thoughts, and anything else that no longer serves you. Ask the earth to accept what you are offering by turning this old energy into light. Continue to let old energy drain out of you until you feel like you’ve released all your energetic baggage. When you are done, imagine the valve closing. Before moving on to clear your next chakra, let vibrant terracotta-colored light travel up from the earth and through the cord into your first chakra. Repeat this process with all seven of the body’s chakras. The second chakra is orange, the third is yellow, the fourth is green, the fifth is blue, the sixth is indigo and the seventh is violet. Afterward, visualize your crown chakra, the seventh chakra, and draw beautiful, golden-white light flowing from the universe down through the top of your head. Release any worries or fears that you have been holding on to. Draw this light into your aura and enjoy the feeling of peace it brings.

To finish clearing your energy and ensure that you have rid yourself of the last vestiges of clutter, take a bath infused with one cup apple cider vinegar, one cup Epsom salt, and one cup sea salt. After completing this exercise, be sure to thank Mother Earth and the universe for their help.

AMEN! ✨✨

Hot Fun in the Summertime
Song by Sly and the Family Stone

End of the spring
And here she comes back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days
That’s when I had
Most of my fun, back
Hi, hi, hi, hi there
Them summer days
Those summer days
I cloud nine when I want to
Out of school, yeah
County fair in the country sun
And everything is true
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
Hot fun in the summertime
First of the fall
And then she goes back
Bye, bye, bye, bye there
Them summer days
Those summer days
Boop-boop-boop-boop
When I want to
Out of school
County fair in the country sun
And everything is cool
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Hot fun in the summertime (hey, hey, hey, ooh)
Hot fun in the summertime (ooh, yeah)
Hot fun in the summertime

Love Will Find a Way
Song by Lionel Richie

Are you feeling down, and lonely.
Feeling like you can’t go on.
Just remember love will find a way.
Tell me are you going through changes.
Time seems like it’s passing by.
Just believe that love will find a way.
I see the tears you cry.
I see the pain that’s in your eyes.
So many times you were so lonely.
And no one seemed to care.
But if your hopes, for your tomorrows.
Are drowning in your sorrows.
Know your heart will show you the way.
Are you trying to find a beginning.
Or something just to hold on to.
Always know that love will find a way.
Is it hard this life you’re living.
Does the world seem so unkind.
Don’t you worry love will find a way.
I see the tears you cry.
I see the pain that’s in your eyes.
So many times you were so lonely.
And no one seemed to care.
But if your hopes, for your tomorrows.
Are drowning in your sorrows.
Know your heart will show you the way.
Some say we’ve lost, our way.
Some say the world has gone astray.
But if you know where you’re going.
There’s nothing you can’t do.
‘Cause problems will come.
And they will leave you.
The world will try to deceive you.
But the truth will always be in your soul.

The Way That You Love Me
Song by Paula Abdul

It ain’t the clothes that you wear
It ain’t the things that you buy
It ain’t your house on the hill
It ain’t the plane that you fly
It ain’t your black limousine
It ain’t your ninety-foot yacht
It ain’t the things that you’ll get
It ain’t the things that you got
It ain’t the money or the diamond rings
Honey I ain’t impressed with your material things
It’s the way that you love me
It’s just the way that you love me
It ain’t your friends at the top
It ain’t their fortune and fame
It ain’t your heavy connections
It ain’t the Hollywood game
Ain’t famous people or the parties they throw
Honey I ain’t impressed with all the people you know
It’s just the way that you love me (In the heat of the night)
It’s just the way that you love me (Baby)
It’s just the way that you love me (When you’re loving me right)
It’s just the way that you love me (Baby)
It’s just the way that you love me (And the things that you do)
It’s just the way that you love me (Baby)
It’s just the way that you love me (Make me crazy for you)
It’s just the way that you love me
It ain’t the trips to Brazil
It ain’t the weekends in Rome
It ain’t the French Riviera
You know I’d rather stay home
Ain’t the Bahamas
It ain’t Monaco
Honey I ain’t impressed
With all the places we go
The way that you love me (It ain’t the money)
It’s just the way that you love me (Or the diamond rings)
The way that you love me (Ain’t what you buy me baby)
It’s just the way that you love me (Ain’t material things)
The way that you love me (Ain’t your Maserati)
It’s just the way that you love me (Your house on the hill)
The way that you love me (It ain’t the parties)
It’s just the way that you love me (Or the trips to Brazil)
It’s just the way that you love me
The way that you love me
The way that you love me
It’s just the way that you love me

Opposites Attract
Song by Paula Abdul

Baby, it seems we never ever agree
You like the movies and I like TV
I take things serious and you take ’em light
I go to bed early and I party all night
Our friends are sayin’ we ain’t gonna last
‘Cause I move slowly and baby, I’m fast
I like it quiet and I love to shout
But when we get together, it just all works out
I take two steps forward, I take two steps back
We come together ’cause opposites attract
And you know it ain’t fiction, just a natural fact
We come together ’cause opposites attract
Who would’ve thought that we could be lovers?
She makes the bed and he steals the covers
She likes it neat and he makes a mess
I take it easy, baby, I get obsessed
She’s got the money and he’s always broke
I don’t like cigarettes, I like to smoke
Things in common? There just ain’t a one
But when we get together, we have nothin’ but fun
I take two steps forward, I take two steps back
We come together ’cause opposites attract
And you know it ain’t fiction, just a natural fact
We come together ’cause opposites attract
A two steps forward, a two steps back
We come together ’cause opposites attract
And you know it ain’t fiction, just a natural fact
We come together ’cause opposites attract
You know it, baby, baby
We come together
We come together
Baby, ain’t it somethin’ how we lasted this long?
You and me provin’ everyone wrong
Don’t think we’ll ever get our differences patched
Don’t really matter ’cause we’re perfectly matched
I take two steps forward, I take two steps back
We come together ’cause opposites attract
And you know it ain’t fiction, just a natural fact
We come together ’cause opposites attract
A two steps forward, a two steps back
We come together ’cause opposites attract
And you know it ain’t fiction, just a natural fact
We come together ’cause opposites attract
Two steps forward, two steps back
Two steps back
We come together ’cause opposites, opposites attract
It ain’t fiction, you know it’s a fact
It’s a fact
We come together ’cause opposites, opposites
Two steps forward, two steps back
Two steps back
Opposites attract
We go together
We go together
‘Cause opposites attract
Two steps forward, two steps back
Two steps back
Opposites attract
We go together, we go together
Opposites, opposites, I said opposites attract

The Promise of a New Day
Song by Paula Abdul

Eagle’s calling and he’s calling your name
Tides are turning, bringing winds of change
Why do I feel this way?
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
As through time the earth moves under my feet
One step closer to make love complete
What has the final say?
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise
And so time over time
What will change the world?
No one knows (no one knows)
So the only promise is a day to live, to give
And share with one another
See the wisdom from mistakes in our past
Hear the younger generation ask
“Why do I feel this way?”
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day (a new day)
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
We can, we can make it better, baby
So time over time
What will change the world?
No one knows (no one knows)
So the only promise is a day to live, to give
And share with one another
Eagle’s calling and he’s calling your name
Tides are turning, bringing winds of change
Why do I feel this way
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
As through time the earth moves under my feet
One step closer to make love complete
What has the final say?
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
Oh, promise me (the promise, the promise of a new day)
A new day (the promise, the promise of a new day)
A new day (the promise, the promise of a new day)
See the wisdom from mistakes in our past
Hear the younger generation ask
“What has the final say?”
The promise of a new day
(The promise, the promise of a new day)
Eagle’s calling and he’s calling your name
Tides are turning, bringing winds of change
Why do I feel this way?
The promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
The promise, the promise of a new day
Why do I feel this way? Hey
The promise, the promise of a new day
Eagle’s calling, and he’s calling your name (the promise, the promise of a new day)
Tides are turning, bringing winds of change (the promise, the promise of a new day)
(The promise, the promise of a new day)
As through time the earth moves under my feet (the promise, the promise of a new day)
(The promise, the promise of a new day)
One step closer to love (the promise, the promise of a new day)
(The promise, the promise of a new day)

@xango,

@Sheba🌺🌺🌺🌺

Hello to you on this Tuesday evening. I hope you are well and was able to see lots of butterflies 🦋.

All is good here, just a few hiccups came upon my way. Walking along and all of the sudden life happens.
We had some more rain, and now the grass is taller, greener and the plants look great.

Have the baby Possum come back for more food? They are cute.

Take care Sheba 🌹 🌹🌹🌹

@xango,

Are you alright? I know what you mean about life happening. 🌹

Glad you had rain and the plants are doing well. Hey take it easy.

Yes the little critter always comes back as long as the cats eat I don’t mind. 🌹✨

Oz is alright today. 😘🌹

@oodiebom,

Rest well my friend. ✨🌹

@sheba2011

Hubby’s appointment from last week was postponed because the catheter was dirty and he had an infection. At that time a culture was taken and I received a phone call from Urology with the antibiotic that was necessary and that they recommended. However, I gave them the phone number for the head nurse/mgr with Rehab. This was Friday, early afternoon. en I arrived at the rehab I did meet with the Head Nurse and he stated that he had not received a phone call from Urology. This meant that hubby would not be able to take the antibiotic before Monday. I was livid. I did see hubby last night and looked for the Head Nurse who wasn’t around. So, this morning I again contacted Urology and all info had been received just moments prior to my phone call. Hubby’s next appointment for the procedure is a week from tomorrow. I am hoping that the antibiotic works in time.

Yesterday I worked outside going after the weeds around the Hibiscus bushes and the grass like weeds around the bushes in the front. There is a pickup for these on Wednesdays. I still have one more area to trim and that one is a huge debate. There is a weed like tree growing inside the area of the hibiscus. That weed cannot come out unless I get rid of that bush. It’s a huge decision since the flowers that bloom are huge and so beautiful. There is another bush near the driveway that I’m also debating. When that bush gets to be about waist high, you cannot see the traffic coming towards you. I will, most likely, have that one removed and in place, plant some flowers. Or, purchase something in a nice container from Lowes.

I did see hubby last night. I did not bring a care package this time. Usually the food is pretty good Mondays through Wednesdays. However, even though hubby was eating, he mentioned that the food was cold. This is not the first time he complained about this. Most of the time it’s the fault of the food cart and the nurses on the floor. The food cart stands for many minutes and later it is still there while the aides pour the drinks for each patient. as well as including desserts. I do not know how often I have reported this. The last time there was a special cart that kept the food warmed. I haven’t seen it since. Also, my back gave way yesterday. There were absolutely no chairs around. So I asked. Yep, they had one. One of those metal chairs that fold. I tried sitting on the edge of hubby’s bed to no avail. His roommate offered me his wheel chair which I did use. However, I left before 7:30pm and used the excuse to get the mail. I was really bent over and could not wait to get home. Luckily, the driver’s side in the van has a seat that is conducive. On a better note: Hubby was able to move more. He asked me to help him get to the middle of the bed. His left leg was dangling on the left side and the right knee was bent. He knew I was in pain, however, I decided to help. There was no one on the floor and I did not wish to wait. I have to admit that I held on to his right hand and with his left he was able to push himself to the center. AMAZING😃😃🌴🌴🌴😃😃. i can tell he is really trying.

@oodiebom,

If the medical staff gives your husband the antibiotic in his vein in a drip bag he should
be fine. I am stunned they have not started him on his meds. I don’t know how you do it.

I won’t say more as I don’t want to upset you but that medicine is vital for an infection which
I would not wait any longer. Oodie you know best so I know you will do what you have to do.

I am wishing you all the prayers and luck. I know your husband wants to go home and I don’t
blame him. ✨

How are you feeling about the new room mate? I hope he is helpful if he can be like the
former mate. Oodie he seemed genuine. I wish him well.

Let me know how you are doing and if you are tired please rest whatever can wait once
you get home. ✨🌹

Thinking of you always. 😘🌹✨

@taci,

Sorry about the poof it happens to me too. ✨✨

Happy Trails. 🎶🎶

Sheba, yes, it does happen, snap and poof. Hope you had a great day.
I went through some older items to clear out of the house.
Our parents generation had a lot of collections. They always thought these things would be of value some day but the younger generation is not like this and don’t collect.
We are still cool and overcast which is all good.

@shoelady60,

Great game last night. 😎I know you are busy with errands and I am about to do some as well.

Sending great vibrations to you and Jake’s Canvas. 😘✨

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten wishing you the best of the day. ✨🌹

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

There is nobody else like you in the world. So stop searching for faults and start celebrating your uniqueness.

You are unique. There is no one else like you in the entire universe. In honor of your unique self, it is good to acknowledge and embrace the special qualities that make you the person that you are. One way to do this is to not compare yourself with other people.

It is human nature to want to see how we measure up in comparison to others, especially if we think they are better than us or have more of something that we want. But it is not a good use of our time to compare ourselves with others because there is no one like us and this makes us incomparable. It is sometimes easier to feel like we are deficient in comparison to other people rather than taking responsibility for our own progress. It takes more courage to be self-referential and look at ourselves to see whether we are measuring up to our standards or meeting our full potential. Each of us has very special gifts, and we are here for very specific reasons. We each have a life purpose to fulfill and with this comes the lessons that we must learn and the circumstances that we must go through in order to evolve as spiritual beings. To compare our lives to other people’s lives when we have no idea of what they are here to learn or fulfill doesn’t benefit anyone — especially you.

Instead, if we can accept ourselves, appreciate the special talents and qualities that we alone possess, and realize that each of us is going through certain kinds of experiences for a reason, we are less likely to focus so much on what other people have or are doing. Realizing and valuing our uniqueness enables us to bring out the best in ourselves so we can get on with living, rather than preoccupying ourselves with meaningless comparisons. By no longer comparing yourself to others, you will see how much you have and how special you are. AMEN!
