Hi Everybody! I am in such a good mood- but it is late and I really should get some sleep. " Early to bed and early to rise, will make a man (and woman) healthy, and wealthy and wise!" Healthy, Wealthy and Wise

Check out Pinterest - some pins are mine and most belong to others. Could be you! ;)

Just take a look at this Christmas Decor - jumping ahead too soon? Well, I saw it and could not resist!

I wanted to repost the link but it wouldn't work to do so. Said it did not exist anymore. Apologies folks, but just look at how elegant this is…

Good night everyone! 

Homemade Soft Taco Shells

I realize these have cornmeal and cornstarch and many are opposed to such things these days, however, we like them and I KNOW what's in them!  :)

Homemade Soft Taco Shells (given to me from a friend but we adapted it, somewhat)

MIX:
3/4 cup cornstarch
1 cup skim milk

THEN ADD:
2 eggs
1/2 tsp salt

FOLLOW BY ADDING:
1/3 cup cornmeal
2 tbsp olive oil

I have found that using my Kitchen Aid was (obviously) more productive in keeping all the ingredients mixed together than using a whisk…

Heat frying pan and spray with olive oil. On my stove, I set the burner to 8. (Which is not quite the highest heat). I use my soup ladle to get the right amount in my pan. They need to be thicker than you might do when preparing crêpes.

Put in your protein in with whatever veggies/toppings you desire, tuck up the bottom and then roll.

We use ground turkey (beef, chicken), or left over chopped up chicken (beef) with homemade taco seasoning. (from Tosca Reno's recipe found in - Oxygen Fitness Magazine listed below)Yummy! 

Taco Seasoning

• 1 tbsp chili powder
• 1/4 tsp each onion and garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp crumbled, dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp black pepper

Time Stands Still

They say that time heals all things.

"They" must not have finished their sentence, or else it was not quoted properly. 

I am healing but the hurt is there; always ready to remind me of a love that does not die.

I go on, day by day; enjoying more of the little things, (Of course, I am a high stress person, so it's not until those quiet times that I realize: how cute my little girl is while trying to hang up her own shirt, how beautiful my other little girl is even when she is making a mad face at me, how the other is so remarkably sincere and just loves to snuggle up with me, one of the oldest ones has such an incredible smile and a beauty within, the other acts tough but is gentle and warm, and our son, so strong and yet so tender and always loves to make people laugh, and my new husband who gets the blunt of my grieving and yet stays true and kind to me.) And yet, amongst all this wonderfulness that is life, I catch out of the corner of my eye - HIM.

Sometimes it's just him and other times it's him & his dad. In reality it is not either of them. It could be  the way that person walks, or how tall they are, or their hair cut and glasses, maybe a scent. Then this random person evolves into Brian and his Dad and I am transported back in time to a memory. It lasts just a moment but the moment lasts forever. 

I could be rolling out sugar cookie dough which becomes bread and Brian is eating the dough out of the bowl only to get a belly ache. 

Now it's the colour of the leaves on the trees. How he loved colour. And I am transfixed again. We are walking, jumping, laughing. The girls are throwing leaves up in the air. Time stands still. 

Remembering can be a happy flash back.

I am certain this movie has me thinking more and more about Brian. This will be a healing journey for sure. Stay tuned for more about Ghost's of '43 and where you can watch it!

Ghosts of '43

This weekend was a fun one. I had a photo shoot with some fellow actors promoting a family documentary/Canadian WWII aviation history film, entitled Ghosts of '43. I woke up nervous about the project. I am one of the leads in this film (that is currently in production). Regardless, it will be a healing project for me for at least two reasons that come immediately to mind: 1. I haven't been back at acting since my husband Brian died. 2. His death and the story line of the film are closely linked for me, and as such I will heal throughout the filming process. 

Here are some Ghosts of '43 pics…there are many more to enjoy on the Facebook page…https//www.facebook.com/ghostsof43 so if you like it then "like" it on Facebook! More updates will be posted there.

Please stay happy on your journey!
