This week we tackle head-on challenges before us. When life seems to give us hiccups and U-turns, we blame our circumstances, placing us into a victim mode. We even blame ourselves for allowing the situation to take place. We can be our greatest critics during our most crucial periods. During these challenging times, learn to love yourself deeply. These moments of what appears to be a test from the universe, is only a time of faith building. These are the times God invites us to turn inward and allow God to do its thing.
I have found that these are the times I need to be extra loving. I must love myself through the hard times. During your dark night, I invite you to fall in love with yourself again. Date yourself again. Treat yourself like a new love interest filled with passion and desire. Love is the only thing that shifts your vibration.

Many blessings to all of the men who inspire us and are our hero’s….our dads. Happy Father’s day to all of my family and friends.
As we end this work week with our Friday affirmation, let’s recall the theme of “Healing to Revelation” from this week’s meditation and journal. Let’s begin: I am one with the Cosmos; therefore full of Abundance and Joy. I am one with the Universe; therefore my life is Whole and Complete. I am one with God; therefore my life is full of Divine Love and Compassion. And so it is. Amen

Dandelion Fritters: Serves 4 to 5
Sunflower oil, for frying
24 to 30 fully open dandelion flowers
Vanilla sugar, for sprinkling
For the batter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1 organic egg
1/2 cup lukewarm water
First, make the batter. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Make a well in the center and break in the egg. Using a whisk, bring in the flour gradually from the edges, slowly adding the water at the same time.
Preheat the oil in a deep-fat fryer to 350 degrees F or use a shallow pan with at least 1 inch of oil.
Shake the flowers, just in case there are any insects hidden inside. Holding each flower by its stem, dip them in the batter (add a little more water or milk if the batter is too thick) and fry in the hot oil a couple at a time until puffed up and crisp — approximately 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Toss in vanilla sugar and serve immediately.

I want to share how much I LOVE for Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap. Ever since I started using it my skin has never felt so smooth and the more I used it the more I like it. I love the lather, great skin-feel, and the great after-feel. So who is Dr. Bronner? Dr. Bronner was Emanuel Bronner, a self-styled philosopher, whose message for achieving world peace—the Moral ABC, can be read in the fine print of the colorful packaging. He started the US company in the mid 1940’s and over time it changed and became what it is today Dr. Bronner’s, unlike Burt’s Bee and Tom’s of Maine, who were bought by Clorox and Colgate-Palmolive, is still run by the Brommer family. The tradition of soap actually goes back further than Emanuel and is currently in it’s fifth generation of soap making! As an INC. magazine mentioned the brand is truly one of America’s great weird brands, that grows more and more successful by being less and less conventional.
My top 6 reasons I LOVE Dr. Bronner’s Magic soap:
Dr. Brommer’s can be found at major supermarkets and drug stores, click here for a local near you or order direct here.
Please note that I DO NOT receive any compensation from Dr. Bronner’s. I’m just a big fan that likes to share his finds.
Peace and Blessings,
