Spread Kindness Like Confetti

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." - Dalai Lama 

You really should spread kindness everywhere you go. A small gesture, such as a smile to someone in passing could change their entire day. It could give them hope, or make them feel good. It might change the way their day goes, or heck it might even change their life. 

We should always approach life with thinking about how we can put more kindness out there. We want to leave this world a better place after all, don't we?

"A little SPARK of kindness can put a colossal burst of sunshine into someone's day" 

I love how simply the Dalai Lama quote I shared below. It grabs the essence of truly facing everything and everyone with kindness. 

Think about how you can spread kindness, instead of anger or hate. What a different world we would live in if we all focused on this!

If you stumble..

I wanted to share a quick post about stumbling, falling off the wagon, whatever you want to call it.

First of all, we all do it. Even the most well trained individuals have trouble with this. 

We can't be perfect ever, at least in my opinion. Perfection simply does not exist. 

However, we can try our best. As long as you are trying your best there is nothing else to worry about!

Just do you!! 

I love this quote though:

"IF YOU STUMBLE, MAKE IT PART OF THE DANCE!" 

Make the best of even difficult situation. Learn to dance in the rain!! :-)

Freekeh Review

I was offered the opportunity to try Freekeh  complimentary from +Fit Approach, LLC


I got my packages from them and was anxious to try them.

So, your first thought (as was mine) is probably "What is Freekeh???"

Their description is as follows:
                 "Freekeh is a process which means “to rub” in Arabic. Freekeh was created by accident nearly 2,000                    years ago when a Middle Eastern village was attacked and their crop of young green wheat was set                    ablaze. Most folks would sulk over their misfortune, but the crafty villagers rubbed off the chaff,                           cooked it up and “Eureka!” Freekeh was created. We’re proud to offer you this tasty, nutritious                           ancient grain with a funny name. *NOT GLUTEN FREE*

                    Freekeh has up to three times the fiber and protein found in brown rice, and fewer calories than                          quinoa and white rice. Freekeh is a great choice to use in recipes you already enjoy, from salads,                       to soups, to main dishes—the cook times are comparable to brown rice, so it’s easy to choose                           Freekeh!"

It comes in multiple flavors: Original, Tamari, and Rosemary Sage

From those 3 flavors, I got original and the choice of a second. I chose Rosemary Sage. 

My package came in the mail with the 2 bags and then a bunch of coupons for me to send out to people. As an extreme coupon lover; I was pretty excited about this!!!!! 

I struggled for a while to decide how I was going to be creative with a recipe; I mean after all there are so many rice "substitutes" lately that it's all been done. I have been big into homemade everything lately; and had a little bit of homemade apple sauce left. I left the chunks in the apple sauce so it was more like spiced apples. I made a version of what I am calling apple crisp. It was actually delicious! I loved that it had extra fiber and protein which kept me fuller longer. I used the original flavor, btw! I got the close up too! 

I would totally recommend this to others in the future!! #LoveFreekeh
