14 Days in Lent

I've been juicing, but my body has plateaued. 

The right mindset works in any endeavor. 

My only struggle is having to cook regular food for my significant other.

Went over some scriptures yesterday. 

Proverbs 4:23 

Guard your heart, for whatever you do flows from it.

And Ephesians 6:10-18

In my opinion, these are foundational scriptures. So every once in a while, I will meditate 

on these to strengthen my faith in God and to remind myself of my responsibility to guard 

what has been entrusted to me.

Life and Peace!

Juice Fast

 Yippee!

Right?

As you can see, there are 23 days left in Lent.

This has been challenging and rewarding. I did sneak a couple bites of meat,

but in two days I am going all in. 

Juice, juice, juice! I am almost ready. I have to pick up kale and bag it with

napkins, so it lasts for more than three days.

I purchased some yellow pea protein, which tastes pretty good in carrot juice.

And I have no excuses.

On a serious note: this has been a time of reflection, stops and starts, hard self 

talks and finally surrendering to a process that will bring healing, deliverance, 

and success.

Remember to love yourself through the change.

Life and peace.

Crossing Paths

Yesterday, I found out some sobering news.

An old boss had passed. I will call him, John. He would find that funny.

I liked him as a boss. I did not know if he liked me. 

I was fairly new to the field and he had been there a while.

He taught me something very valuable about perception and customer service.

(That's why I was not sure if he liked me as a person.)

I think he gave me a chance because we were both veterans.

Veterans can be stoic and by the book. He knew that I needed to develop some 

survival skills if I were going work in the civilian sector.

He was my sandpaper and I will be forever grateful to him for giving me

a foundation from which I could build.

I don't know if he knew I respected him. I did. 

Did I tell you he was a sniper?

Cool huh? 

I've only met a couple of soldiers that were exceptional with fire arms, he was one of them.

I curtsy to you Sir and hope you are in the arms of Jesus.

Umm...Happy New Year!

I forgot to say that this year.

I was and am so excited about the new year that I did not post.

So this is my catch up.

 You have control over your happiness.

 Everything is new at first. Cherish and nurture the new beginning.

 You 365 days to write this years story, write a best seller!

Cheers!
