22 of My Manifesto Rules
1. Stare fear in the face. So often fear stops us. Instead live fearless - knowing when to stop and when to move and when to be brave.
2. Invest in your friends. Good friends listen and show up. Do the same. Friendship is give and take and give and take. Friends are the ultimate gift.
3. No excuses. You must take care of yourself: heart, body and soul. There is no excuse for forgetting you. Your family needs you to love you with the same tenacity that you love them.
4. Guilt doesn't need to dictate choices. Don't let guilt stop you from taking care of yourself. Guilt keeps one stuck.
5. Read real books again. Watch a mini-series. Start jogging. Do something that is not work, not chores, but simply that makes you happy.
6. Love your body. Your aging body. Yes, that. And stop lamenting the wrinkles, but embrace them as another year lived.
7. Don't short-change yourself. You are amazing.
8. Listen more, judge less. Comparison is the death of contentment. Instead of judging, be happy for others.
9. Slow down. Hold hands more. Say "yes" to one more book. Let them get the gum in the check out line. Just be present.
10. Create margin in your life. That space in-between the busy and the crazy where you can just breathe again.
11. Don't be afraid of "no" and trying. The worst that can happen is that you brush off and try again.
12. Be proud of yourself. Like really nitty gritty proud - of all the showing up and trying and giving and little things you do that matter so greatly.
13. Give to others. Maybe it's not money or time, but sometimes it can be grace extended.
14. Be straightforward with your words.
15. Love well. Love without fear. Love unconditionally.
16. Forgive. This. Over and over. Grudges destroy, forgiving brings freedom.
17. Fall seven times, stand up eight. Don't lament the falling - celebrate the standing.
18. Learn from your experiences and mistakes. They don't need to define. Sometimes those spaces of experience make us real and in the real spaces we forge connection.
19. Take risks. The biggest risk for me in life is the risk of not trying.
20. Mindset, mindset, mindset. What one thinks truly is what one believes, what one becomes.
21. Be adaptable. Life can change in an instant.
22. Love others deeply. For who they are, for there courage, for their story. Kindness and love are priceless.
Begin.

"An Apple a Day"
Fall is here, officially making it apple season! We’ve all heard “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away.” So what is so special about apples?
Apples are loaded with vitamins, such as Vitamin C, minerals, potassium, and high in fiber. They also provide the body with antioxidants.
A medium sized apple provides the following:
Apples are a great grab- and- go snack. What a great option to give those kiddos instead of a processed snack pack! Pair it with some protein such as some raw almonds, natural nut butter or even string cheese for the perfect snack on the go!
Everyone has his favorite kind of apple. Apples vary in taste and texture, so what kind of apple should you choose? Personally, my favorite is the honey crisp apple.
Honey Crisp has a sweet mild flavor and a crispness to it. It is great for snacking and eating it raw on salads, etc. Red Delicious is probably the most common. I find this kind to be a little bit mushy myself, but it is great to dehydrate and use in apple sauce or baking. Granny Smith, the green ones, has a tartness to them. They are great for snacking and using in pies. Gala apples seem to be the most affordable. They are usually the perfect snacking size. They are crisp, juicy, and sweet. Fuji is similar to Red Delicious in flavor but has a firmer texture. A great multi- purpose apple!
Have you noticed that there are new kinds of apples? They tend to be a little more expensive and have names like Pink Lady, Ambrosia, Tango, Empire, Envy, and Jazz. They are usually the result of crossing different types of apples.
How can you add more apples to your diet? As a grab –and- go snack, cut up and add to cereal or oatmeal or top your yogurt or cottage cheese with them. Dehydrating them is a great way to have apples through the winter season and are great for all- the- above uses, too. Make an applesauce with no added sugar or find a recipe for healthy muffins or apple crisp!
If you are diabetic or pre-diabetic, the carbs and sugar content may not be the best choice for you, so eat sparingly.
Start adding an apple a day to your diet while they are in season!
Apples are loaded with vitamins, such as Vitamin C, minerals, potassium, and high in fiber. They also provide the body with antioxidants.
A medium sized apple provides the following:
- 13–20 percent of a person’s daily fiber needs
- 9–11 percent of a person’s daily vitamin C needs
- four percent of a person’s daily potassium needs
