Halloween is upon us and while it's not my favorite holiday (mainly because of the candy temptation...I love Snickers) it does reveal to me that one of my favorite holidays is on the way...Thanksgiving, which means pumpkin pie is just around the corner yeehaw!! I guess you can say I do have a moderate sweet tooth.
While large servings of pumpkin pie aren't the best for you (just like large handfuls of mini Snickers bars) pumpkin itself has TONS of health benefits. From being rich in vitamins like A and C (which act as immunity boosters) to lowering the risk of certain cancers, pumpkin is a great seasonal fruit that we should indulge in especially this time of year with cold and flu season around the corner. So as you carve up that jack-o-lantern or prep your shopping list in November, don't forget the multiple benefits of pumpkin...a seasonal superfood. Here are some healthy pumpkin recipes that you might enjoy: Read the Article.

Good morning community! Happy Friday to all!!
I just wanted to drop some encouraging words to you today. A friend of mine is going through some hard times. And while it's hard for me to relate to the exact problem she's having, I do relate to the roadblocks that are getting thrown into her path daily. The advice I gave her is to not forget the simple pleasures of life and to take a moment to enjoy them in the middle of the storm. Then I told her what I do to find solace when I feel overwhelmed. (It often involves some Jack Johnson music and a strong cup of Joe). It's so easy to get caught up in the struggle and let our problems consume us, but hearing a brief word of encouragement from someone can help. Please know that that is what this community is for...to help us through those moments...even if we cannot relate to the exact problem someone is facing. So, if you've read this, and you're struggling today, please be en-couraged, knowing that you have someone here who will listen. For those of you who are slaying your dragons today and are in a good place, please drop an encouraging word to this community in the comments section Love to all!! |
