100 days of self care – days 21-27

This week was a mixture of me time and time with friends.

Monday I did an artist date and took part in Bell Tower Brewing's birthday celebration having an IPA, making a toast to their 3 years of business, and journaling. The rest of the week did writing and yoga, caught up with a friend the "old-fashioned way" - talking on the phone🙂, a friend just happened to be in front of me in the early voting line so we caught up and made plans to travel overseas, took walks around my neighborhood at dusk to look at all the Halloween decorations, tried a new recipe, received Reiki and got to play the crystal bowls at a Reiki circle, and taught a Reiki class - laughter, learned from my students, fulfillment of doing what I love, and lots of creativity.

Headed to Kentucky soon to teach classes and celebrate Halloween there.

One thing I've been enjoying is handing out "You Are Beautiful" stickers that I have autoshipped to me monthly. It's amazing how a small gesture seems to light up people's days.

Here is the website if you are interested in being a "You Are Beautiful" ambassador too.

You Are Beautiful Stickers have so many uses! Use them as water bottle stickers, travel mug stickers, skateboard stickers, car stickers, bike stickers, helmet stickers, laptop stickers, phone stickers, mirror stickers, or window stickers. Customize your belongings, and let your personality shine!

100 days of self care – days 17-20

I’m continuing my 100 days of self-care. Sometimes my self-care might even be just 5 minutes of meditation. The past few days I’ve done a variety of things.

Gave attention to the writer in me by re-working a poem. Read the re-worked poem at a poetry reading. Watched an episode of Stanley Tucci’s "Searching for Italy" learning a new pasta sauce recipe that is easy to prepare using carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes. Then I got online and found a simple vinegarette recipe of his and now is one of my current favorite dressings. And went to a restorative crystal bowls and meditation class.

This is the vinaigrette recipe and pasta sauce recipe.

Vinaigrette
First, you put some salt in the bottom of a salad bowl and rub a split garlic clove around in the salt. Then keep that clove in there and throw in oil and a little bit of red-wine vinegar. Whip that up with a little squeeze of lemon. If you want, you can add mustard.

It’s surprising how much flavor comes through with something so simple.

Stanley Tucci Inspired Maria Rosa Tomato Sauce Recipe

Maria Rosa Tomato Sauce Ingredients
2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup diced carrots (about 2 medium-sized carrots)
1/2 cup diced celery (about 2 small tender stalks)
1 cup diced onions (about 1/2 large onion)
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsbp chopped fresh Italian, flat-leafed parsley
4 cups canned whole San Marzano tomatoes (about one 35-ounce can)
Kosher salt
Black pepper

Tomato Sauce Instructions
- In a deep saucepan, heat olive oil and butter.
- Once the butter begins to bubble, start by softening the carrots, celery, and onions with the garlic. Be sure to stir continuously as it may take up to 10 minutes to soften.
- Next, sprinkle in the chopped parsley and stir. Follow by crushing the tomatoes with your hands. If you want a slightly less textured sauce, pulse the tomatoes briefly with an immersion blender before adding to the pan.
- Wait until the sauce begins to boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and season with freshly ground black pepper and salt.
- Cover the pan, leaving a little opening for the steam to escape.

- Continue simmering until the flavors come together, around 30-45 minutes. Serve over pasta or use as a base for other recipes.

Days 14-16 - 100 Days of Self-Care

Monday I spent time with friends going to a movie, Tuesday kept up my daily meditation. And in a few minutes, I'm going to do a yoga class through the Santosha School website - there is a level 1 yoga video available to anyone. When I lived in Indy, I used to go to Santosha about 3-4 times a week for yoga, sometimes 5 times. I was in my best shape when I did that. I didn't even need the gym to get my "Popeye" arms.

Here is the link featuring not just yoga but recipes, breathing exercises, a daily ayurveda routine, and more.

Santosha offers free online learning, including many free youtube videos.

Day 12 & 13 - 100 days of Self-Care

These two days were about connection - connection with friends and connection with myself. Saturday I checked out our local farmers market and flea market and attended a zoom live of my friend reading from her new book. I went to visit a friend on Sunday to see her new puppy and get caught up. Connected with myself through journaling and meditation. Watched a couple movies - rejuvation instead of that voice that says do more, do more., and then it's never enough.

Days 4-10: 100 days of self-care

I've been on the road and didn't get a chance to post but still doing the self-care. Some of the things I did include: lifting weights again, time with my sister in Indiana, attending an inaugural writers' event in Indianapolis concluding with an open mic (my sister and I both reading), family time with my brother and his wife, speaking up, meditating, yoga, and downtime after my drive back instead of jumping back into work right away.

I did a Joe Dispenza meditation this morning that teaches the body what the future feels like before it happens so you are not waiting for it to happen and are guided to embody it.

The link to the meditation is below.

Day 3 - 100 days of self-care (and writing)

Today I took a break in the afternoon to do some yoga. I found a website that has free yoga classes and meditations. There is also a paid option that expands your choices. I found alot of good ones at the free level. So many it was hard to decide which one to do.

This is the website
https://www.doyogawithme.com

And getting ready to work on my story for a bit.

Online yoga videos from DoYogaWithMe. We offer tons of free yoga videos, including classes, yoga poses, breathing exercises, yoga challenges, and guided meditations.

I'm a part of an online group called the London Writer's Salon. I'm participating in their 100 days of writing challenge. I decided to do my own side challenge, 100 days of self-care, as a way to support the writer in me.

This morning I did my yoga stretches, meditated, and then went to the gym to lift weights, after a year of not going. It felt good to be back. And I got to see Roger, a kind older gentlemen who has always been encouraging.

I also listened to a short video about the importance of stretching and moving periodically throughout the day if you have a sedentary job or sit at a desk most the day, which some days I do.

Here are the stretching and eye exercise tips I learned through the Joyful Belly Ayurveda school newsletter that I'll share with you. I always think I don't have time, but it only takes a couple minutes and can make a big difference. It's said sitting is the new smoking. If you aren't able to do all these because you can't leave your desk or stand up, try doing these on your break, modify them, or just do the ones you can.

Stretching (every hour when you can- set a timer - takes a couple minutes)
1. Reach up towards the sky
2. Touch your toes (as far as you can go)
3. Roll your head clockwise/counter
4. Roll your shoulders
5. Take a deep breath

Eye Exercises
1. Look up / down
2. left / right
3. Diagnal to diagnal
4. Look at a close object / a far object
5. Focus on relaxing eyes

Tomorrow I'll post what I do for self care and any good tips I discover. And you are welcome to join me on this challenge.

I keep getting signs to do something with music. To me, it looks like a treble clef. I am exploring sound healing and open to more possibilities.

My spirit and soul is still full from the Wick Poetry Center Celebrating 40 years event.

Some themes were Poetry & Healing, Poetry & Peace, Poetry & Science, and Poetry & Social Justice.

A poem of Padraig O Tuama's was used in one of the writing workshops. The last line of the poem is "You might as well love."

Yes, we might as well.

I'm re-reading the book Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. It's about living a creative life. This weekend I'm getting to experience both - magic and creativity. I'm attending the Wicks Poetry Center's 40 year Celebration. Yesterday was a full day from 11 am to midnight filled with fabulous authors reading their work, exhibits, a writing workshop, a Poetry Unbound interview by Padraig O Tuama, and a private open mic at the Venice Cafe where I read a couple poems. Today is a full day too ending with a gala dinner.

I'm so grateful for this amazing magical weekend and all that the Wicks Poetry Center provides enriching the lives of people of all ages.
