May 4th
May the 4th be with you…
This wasn’t going to be my post today, but after the actor that portrayed Chewey, Peter Mayhew. passed away on May 1st, I had to change it.
Yes I know that this is at Disney, and that this isn’t the actual character, but…I was in awe and blown away by the experience.
It was like I was chatting with Chewey (of course), but really though! I was overwhelmed.
This was an amazing experience, and I am so happy that I was able to experience it.
It was wonderful. Truly awesome, and a memorable experience. I have loved the Star Wars movies, and most of the characters since I was twelve.
By the way, I hate the way I look in the pictures. I have had about thirty pounds of regain, and it shows. Ugh.
Blessings.
Friday
Simple…love y’all. Happy Friday.

Lupus
May is Lupus Awareness Month. It is also Sjogren’s Syndrome Awareness. I have these diseases but I fight like a girl, and every day is a blessing.
If you want to contribute to Lupus Awareness please go to Lupus.org for more information.
I am a Lupus WARRIOR! 💗
Blessings today and always.
Radishes
I love raw radishes, or in a salad. My Mom made radishes poached in butter. 
I bought these the other day…washed, and cut into quarters or halves.
I decided to roast them with some olive oil, salt and pepper.
Baked for about 30 minutes or until softened, and slightly browned.
I loved these. David doesn’t care for them, but these weren’t bad per him.
My plate…too much food and I didn’t eat all of it.
Blessings.
Master
I fail at something everyday…
Someone once told me that the day you stop learning should be the day you die. I pray that I learn something everyday and fail (well, not always).
Blessings.
Salmon
I love fish. Eating fish–any kind of fish: sushi, fried, sauteed, grilled. I have been craving fish lately, and had some amazing salmon marinated with Dale’s Seasoning. It was grilled, and truly yummy.
Our grill is a charcoal grill, and not the best when you just want to quick grill something. So we decided to pan sear them. I marinated the salmon filet’s in about 1/2 cup of Dale’s Reduced Sodium Seasoning for about one hour.
We just pan seared them, skin side down in a bit of olive oil.
Cook on the skin side first (about a third of the way through), and flip just to finish the cooking (maybe two minutes maximum).
Hint from Gordon Ramsey: score the salmon skin before cooking will ensure that the fish won’t curl up during cooking. It worked (like I question him and his suggestions – ha).
My plate with a bit of jasmine rice, an roasted snow peas. This will be my go to recipe for Salmon for a while.
Blessings.
Slack
Step back and look at what you are doing from another point of view.
Everyone’s journey is different. I say this to our children as their paths are different from their friends. And I say this to myself with work, weight loss and with my Lupus struggles.
Count your blessings. It helps remind ourselves of what we have done not what needs to be done.
Blessings.
Brave
Happy Friday Eve! Be brave in everything you do today.
Blessings.
