New Year, New Leaf, New Chapter

Happy, Healthy 2010!  Each new year's eve we make resolutions.  As we turn over the page in our new calendars, we try to turn over a new leaf.  We desperately try to exercise more/eat less junk food/keep our homes clean/hang up all our clothes/do the laundry at least once a week......the list goes on and on.  At the same time, we also start another chapter in our lives.

What were your resolutions?  Have you been successful with them?  Tomorrow, we start the second month of the year - have you given up on any of your resolutions?  If so, why?

For this new chapter in your life to be one of the best or most memorable, why not write down your goals in a notebook or diary?  Give these goals life - bring them out and put them in ink, say them out loud - let the universe know what you desire and start the drum roll, start making them a reality.  Take baby steps, one tiny step at a time to get to your destination!  Like they say, Rome wasn't built in a day!

Last year was a life changing year for me.  It's the year I graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition.  The school had a major impact on me.  Apart from dancing, exercising and chanting "Om" with 1,500 other students at Avery Fisher Hall, I made wonderful friends and learned from excellent teachers - who are prominent in the health field. I also became a certified laughter yoga leader!  Ho! Ho! Ha! Ha! Ha!

I welcome 2010, your friendship and all that the universe sends our way.

Wishing you joy and peace.

Spring is finally here! It reached almost 60 ° F in the metropolitan area and it's going to be 75 ° F tomorrow! Before you put on your gloves and grab the Bounty to start your spring cleaning, check out what a recent World Health Organization landmark study reveals about common household chemicals at  Mercola.com . Want to know what is in your cleaning products? Visit the Environmental Working Group's  cleaner guides . Discover the benefits of a great alternative option -  Young Living's Thieves Household Cleaner , which I use along with baking soda, vinegar and liquid dishwashing soap.

The New Kick in My Block

Did you know that this is the original Sriracha? Mrs. Chakkapak created it in her kitchen in Si Racha, Thailand, for her family and friends. See article  from Bon Appetit by Andrea Nguyen. I came across this chopstick-licking sauce, which is hot, yet slightly sweet, during my trek to the Thai Grocery Store. I prefer it to the sweet chili sauce with loads of pepper seeds. Sriraja has the right kick! What I especially appreciate is that it is free of preservatives and artificial coloring and has no msg!  Can't wait to dig in to my bowl of noodles! Bon appétit! Jyoti

People Come into Your Life for a Reason

Have you ever felt that you have met the person standing across from you before? Do you run into the same person twice in a day? Ever thought of someone and immediately hear from them or bump into them? Are you glad you made a new friend? Did an Angel help you today? Here's a popular poem for you to enjoy as you welcome this new season in your life: P eople come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. When someone is in your life for a REASON , it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty; to provide you with guidance and support; to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end....
