Give yourself GRACE 💕

One definition of grace is a willingness to be fair, honest, and pleasantly polite, especially when handling difficult situations or defeat. If you are feeling overwhelmed or anxious, step outside and walk for at least 15 minutes.

Let the air hit your skin, take a deep breath, and EXHALE it slowly. With each exhalation, release any tension you are holding in your body. It’s a new day!

You are AMAZING! Start your day giving thanks for awakening, look in the mirror and express your love ❤️ YOU are doing your best and that’s enough.

Have a fantastic day!!!

Throwback Thursday!

This was an incredible day!!! I was invited to help harvest and weed @mesquitegarden. We spent a few hours in the garden and this was our bounty!

I learned so much about farming and gardening from Porsha. Then I was blessed to take veggies home to share with the family. I remember dad wanted a few turnips. Mommy and I turned our veggies into a feast!

Putting your hands in soil improves your mood, boosts your immune system and enhances your creativity. Gardening is an mindfulness activity that I perform to relax, unwind and connect with nature.

It is said that gardening extends your longevity because it is a low density activity that reduces stress, boosts your immune system and gives you a sense of purpose. I will cherish the time I spent on the farm, picking veggies, and learning to garden.

If you have an outdoor space, plant something, tend to it, and watch it grow. I hope you discover a love of gardening like I have.

Wendy left before her family and friends were prepared.

Her Birthday was celebrated for the entire month of October; even though her birthday was the 8th. Family usually celebrated with her closer to the actual day. Wendy and I celebrated later in the month. These photos were taken on October 22, 2022.

Everything about the meal was FABULOUS! The appetizers were light and delicious. They had an abundance of veggies and fresh fish, so Wendy and I were both happy.

I decided to share this day with her family. Rest in Peace Wendy. We love and miss you. by @maricealynne

Drastic weather change; we went from three digit temperatures to the 50’s!

The air is crisp! It’s energizing ❤️ when you step outside into the coolness of the morning.

Did you know that Cooler air means your heart does not have to work as hard as it does in oppressive summer heat, which helps sustain movement, improve circulation, and lower blood pressure? Now is the time to get outside and move!

Enjoy the shift! Enjoy your day! Most of all ENJOY your LIFE ❤️

60 mile an hour winds were expected. “Girls, WE need to harvest,” mommy said! We saw the limbs of the apple trees dancing in the garden. “Okay,” Robbie and I replied in unison and grabbed bags.

We harvested apples 🍏 and pomegranates before they were blown off the branches. There are many health benefits of eating fruit fresh off the vine. The vitamins and minerals are consumed at their peak, thus increasing the amount received by the body.

The compounds in golden pomegranates help lower chronic inflammation markers linked to heart disease, joint pain (like osteoarthritis), and metabolic issues. Pomegranates supply vitamin C for immune defense, potassium for fluid and muscle balance, and folate.

The apples are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, and quercetin, which help lower LDL cholesterol oxidation, reduce blood pressure, and protect against free radicals. They help regulate blood sugar levels and help keep your gut healthy.

Robbie took her harvest home to juice. Mommy made apple hand pies and sprinkled pomegranates on her salad. Dad and I added the pomegranates and apples 🍏 to our afternoon brunch.

Rainy weather provides the perfect backdrop for reflection 💕

Sis Kelsey texted me, she’s having another baby girl!!! She shared with me ‘Plan the Birth You Want without Fear’ is helping her prepare to delivery! OMG! I was so touched and honored.

My mind has been so focused on caring for dad, I hadn’t thought about the book I wrote or how it continues to help women enhance their birthing experience.

Knowledge is POWER.

When a woman is educated about her birthing options and what to expect during labor, she can make decisions that are best for her and the unborn child. ‘Plan the Birth You Want without Fear’ takes the pregnant woman step by step through her pregnancy journey.

Sis Kelsey THANK YOU 🙏 for including me in your birthing experience 💕. Please let me know if I can assist you in anyway.

If you or someone you know is pregnant and wants information on how to plan for your dream delivery, here is the link for the book: https://a.co/d/08d8UaTg

Dad and I started the day with brunch 💕

Then we walked the parameter around the complex, spent time beneath the large pine 🌲 tree shading the patio, and watched the black birds 🐦‍⬛ glide on the wind.

I was sipping cherry green tea, infused with ginger and cloves when dad suggested, “You should go swimming. Rain is coming.” I let the thought replay in my mind.

“I think I will swim”. I replied. And I Did. This is what came through my swimming meditation.

Don’t give up! It may feel hard right now, everyday you are closer to your goals!

Keep going! Hit restart, settle in where you are and pay attention. There is a lesson in the activities you are engaging in.

WHEW! Let’s Go!!!

The sound of jazz meets me at the door. The smell of fresh herbs and veggies lingers in the air. Going home 🏠 is priceless.

Taking food back to dad’s is a bonus.

Mindfulness Tip:

Create memories and be grateful for shared simple pleasures, this is a form of practicing mindfulness. These everyday activities anchor your attention firmly in the present moment rather than drifting into worry about the past or future. 💕

Boost your mood by spending time in green spaces.

Trees filter our air, reduces stress, and boosts your immune system. Trees also reduce the temperature by almost 10 degrees, which was needed in this unusual Southern California heat wave. It was 93 degrees in the high desert and over 💯 degrees in Los Angeles County.

Walking can be a great addition to your self care regimen. When you walk outside you boost the benefits!

Walking outside was a wonderful opportunity to breathe fresh air and reset my nervous system.

I hope you had a great day and did something to celebrate YOU!

Swimming as Self Care 💕

Did you know that Swimming releases endorphins that enhance your mood? It’s true! When you are submerged in the water, your brain releases chemicals, endorphins that lower your cortisol level.

I love how the water muffles out the sounds around me. The quietness experienced allows me to slip into a meditative state and focus on breathing. Practicing breath work while swimming can reset your nervous system.

An activity that enhances your mood, resets your nervous system, and tones your body is definitely 💯 qualifies as self care 💕

It was in the 90s today. Hot 🥵 weather usually makes me consider swimming. If the weather allows in your area, take advantage of it. Jump in and enjoy the water. Your mind and body will thank you.

Have a blessed day!

I’m thrilled that dad has more energy today!

He was moving today. We got our steps in, got some sunshine, fresh veggies and fruit. Now dad can settle in and watch his football games. I’m going to get in some self-care time. it’s 90° and sunny, I’m going for a swim. Swimming is excellent for your mind, body and spirit!

I have watched more football in the last month than I have in my lifetime. I have to admit, that Rams game was pretty exciting. Especially on that last quarter. Both teams were playing full out, right down to the last seconds. That game had us on the edge of our seat.

If you are a football fan, I hope your teams are winning!

Dad wanted me to thank everyone for your positive energy and encouragement. We are optimistic and keeping the faith.

Have a blessed day!

YES, THC oil WORKED @adrianwinstonllc !!!

I waited to post until dad was up and moving this morning. He didn’t complain about pain in his knees this morning!!!

When Tia told me she had created an oil for dad, I was excited to see if it brought him some relief. Researchers say THC (Cannabis) helps relieve pain by interacting with the body’s natural endocannabinoid system to slow pain signals and reduce inflammation. We warmed the oil slightly, then dad applied it to his knees and hands.

Tia, dad didn’t need pain medication last night or this morning! Thank you!!!🙏 I think you should offer it to your clients!!!
