I like to repeat these wise words to myself whenever it is time to move on. Whether it is something mundane as throwing away an old super comfortable t-shirt that really has too many holes in it to wear, or saying good-bye to a dear...
I have a lot of cookbooks, but I rarely use them. That is, I don't often actually follow the recipes. I read through them, maybe make a dish once, and only when its really to my liking I will make it again. Most often I use the...
I like the idea of eating a salad for lunch, but I don't always want to eat greens. I know, greens like kale, spinach, arugula, and even plain lettuce, are "good for you". However, I also find that my digestion gets thrown off by eating...
