January Newsletter: Take life by its horns and glide out by faith!

We have all been through a tumultuous time this past year, something that could only be imagined in a movie. From young to old, so many people have been affected and so many people have lost their lives to a virus. This leads us to question the very predictability of life, and to examine the things that are most important to our lives. Life happens to everyone, it has no respect for the young or old, it cares not about your financial status—it happens to everyone. The way we handle these circumstances differentiates us from everyone else.

I would encourage you to have hope for the future. What can be better than hope and faith. These are the gifts that keep us going, keep us believing and keep us dreaming that our time to shine will come if we do not let go. So, let us kick our heels in, persevere through this all, and overcome through creative thoughts, ideas, and dreams. We will overcome if we do not give up. Not everyone will like you, statistics show that a certain percentage of people will not like you no matter what you do, but the attitude of people is not the problem, the problem is how you view yourself and your destiny.

If you have been pitying yourself, it is time to rise and dream for the future. Your biggest obstacle is your own thinking, so I will challenge you to think bigger, dream extraordinary dreams and pursue the goals that have been embedded in your life.

This Month in the Kitchen we will make Paella with Spiced Ground Turkey and we will investigate the properties of Celery in our Ingredient Spotlight. In our Monthly Why we will discuss why Time restricted feeding or fasting can be beneficial to health. We will be launching our podcast soon and it will be focused on weight control and the epidemic of Obesity. As always, I wish that you stay optimistic about your future and health and live long and strong!
