The 12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 10

It’s Mindset Monday! A few months ago I decided to focus solely on mindset coaching. Regardless of your end goal (work, relationship, weight, etc.), Getting Your Mind Right is Job 1.

I know from wence I speak. I stopped blocking my own path and worked through an old (and wrong!) limiting belief that being an entrepreneur was not for me. It was based on a business class that I took 30 years ago! Had to Let That S%#t Go! and everything changed. Business opportunities come in continuously and I’m having a blast creating coaching opportunities for fabulous women!

Unfortunately it’s not a one and done. There may be a few totally Zen people in the world, but most of us need reminders. Prayer, meditation, coaching, desire mapping, quotes, books are some of my go-tos and my latest resource: a manifesto. I love it so much I’ve done one for business and personal and highly recommend your doing one. It’s a great North Star for keeping yourself on track.

On the 10th Day of Thanksgiving, your coach is giving you: permission to spend 30-45 minutes (don’t over-think it) with yourself, creating your personal manifesto. Here’s an article with instructions, https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5575496. It’s also helpful to jot down your priorities, your dreams/fantasies, and what you want to be remembered for. Don’t over-think, judge, or write to impress. Let it flow. Use Wordswag or Canva to make it cute.

The entry period for The Hyggë Box ends at midnight. I hope you win! 😊 Here’s my personal manifesto.

 

The 12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 9

Joyful Sunday, Everyone! I hope that all of you have at least one day (or part of a day) that you are able to simply chill. For me that’s usually Sunday and winter is my season of chill…pun intended. 😊 I’m less and less inclined to leave my home and prefer being curled up in my favorite lounge-wear sipping warm drinks in total dial-down mode.

Have you heard about the Danish philosophy of hyggë? It caters wonderfully to this lifestyle:

“Pronounced “hoo-ga,” this Danish concept cannot be translated to one single word but encompasses a feeling of cozy contentment and well-being through enjoying the simple things in life. If you’ve ever enjoyed reading a book indoors on a rainy Sunday or a cup of hot cocoa on a snow day you’ve experienced hygge without even knowing it.” See the full article below.

Even if your life only allows for a ‘hyggë’ hour, Take. That. Hour. It’s important. It’s necessary. It’s life-sustaining.

And to provide a little inspiration for you to do so, On the 9th day of Thanksgiving, your coach is gifting one of you: A Box of Chill and Comfort that includes Fortnum and Mason teabags, Savannah Bee Co. Lavender Honey, and a cozy pair of  Thou Art The Bomb socks. Let me tell you, this tea and the honey are YUMMY! There will be a drawing because I only have one box. You have until midnight Monday to submit your name.

HAPPY HYGGË, YA’LL!

The 12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 8

Woo Hoo! I’ve been having so much fun traipsing the streets of Savannah today that I almost forgot to send Day 8. And that just so happens to connect to today’s theme: laughter!

“A good laugh heals a lot of hurts.” ~ Madeleine L’Engle

On the 8th Day of Thanksgiving, your coach is gifting you: 3 funny videos, two of which you may have caught on my FB page of me with my partner in fun, Sharon Sherrod aka Lucy. I wish there was video of us in the Laughter Yoga class we visited! LOL We’ll be back next week with a new one. 😊

I can so relate to this yoga video. 😂😂

12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 7

 

Happy Friday, Ya’ll! I’m in Savannah, Ga, one of my favorite cities, hanging out with Mr. Washington and a couple he knows from his old work days. Hope you’re doing something fun for yourself too!

I thought it would be good to provide some ‘get you going’ background music for your weekend, so on the 7th day of Thanksgiving your coach is gifting you: my booty-shaking playlist with your choice to download from iTunes or Spotify.

Get your dance on! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 6

We’re midway through my 12 Days of Thanksgiving. I’m loving the emails you’re sending about how much you’re enjoying it!

I received two lovely quotes to add to my collection:

“However awful the storm of my disappointment, it’s a response that belongs to me. It’s my heart, after all. My territory, my kingdom. And since I’m the only one with authority to give it away, I can also take it back.” (sent by Jasmine Pruitt)

“My recipe for life is not being afraid of myself, afraid of what I think or of my opinions.” ― Eartha Kitt (sent by Malinda T. White)

Thank you, Ladies!

During the holiday season, some of you may spend some of your time catching up on missed TV. I’m a professed and proud TV fanatic. Judge me if you choose, tv snobs. LOL! Nothing’s more interesting to me than human drama and the small screen does an excellent job of mirroring it, especially now during the platinum age of television.

Soooo…On the 6th Day of Thanksgiving, your coach is gifting you: The Definitive (but not exhaustive) List of My Fave TV Shows. These are mostly shows you may not have heard about or watched.

Happy Watching!

12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 5

Hello! Hello! Hello! It’s Day 5 and it’s Word About It Wednesday. Words have always been a huge part of what super-fuels me. Books were my baby bottle and I don’t leave home without one. Great sermons, Super Soul Sunday and Broadway plays are a few of my word jams. What I love most about my husband is his conversation. I’m ALL about the words and a quote fanatic.

On the 5th day of Thanksgiving, your coach is gifting you: an e-book of some of my favorite quotes. Hope you enjoy them!

Words For Your Journey cReneCoach Fave Quotes

Oops! I left off two additional winners of the Day 4 free hour of coaching: Tonya Allen and Rosemary Noe. YAY for them!

Hope everyone is enjoying a great week!

12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 4

Happy Day 4 of 12 Days of Thanksgiving! Today I’m gifting you with an  assignment of reflection…a Thoughtful Tuesday exercise. Treat it as a gift NOT work. 😊

This article on being truly present resonated with me. I’ve noticed that my attention has been pretty scattered, lately. Loved ones, running a business, these all-too-convenient devices, personal interests…how to fit it all in??

Be more present.

Among other things, I’m ditching my phone when I’m with people (and with myself). What do you/will you do?

https://www.thriveglobal.com/stories/16020-4-questions-we-unconsciously-ask-near-constantly

Back to Day 3. A free hour of coaching ($225 value) goes to Marcella Roberts, Martha Cook, Rosemary Noe, and Jasmine Pruitt!! 

I’ll send the link to schedule your session.

Back in your inbox tomorrow and hope you ALL experience as much presence as possible! ❤️❤️❤️

12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 3

Happy Monday Everyone! On my Facebook business page (Not following me? Fix that! 😊), I do Mindset Monday, giving tips on ditching mindset blocks that keep you stuck.

Following that theme,

On the 3rd Day of Thanksgiving your coach is gifting (maybe) you:

MindSetGo! and have a wonderful week!!

 

12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 2

Hope everyone is enjoying a restorative Sunday!

The Vision Board was a Soul-edifying event! Wonderful sharing, inspiring, and encouraging each other to live IN and ON Purpose! Malinda is inspired to do a 7 Days of Thanksgiving for her family. Think I’m going to do that too. ❤️❤️❤️

Andrea wasted no time in putting her vision to board. Tonya and Malinda were VERY meticulous (my kind way of saying, slow 😂) and are finishing at home.

On the Second Day of Thanksgiving, your coach is gifting you: My Favorite Comfort Food Recipes!

One of my coaching focuses is, What are you consuming? What words, images, people make up the majority of your ‘diet’? The recipes below are all about Love. Barbara Ann and Abel are my parents. I hope you consume them in the company of those who are special to you!

Annnnnd…For those who respond by midnight Sunday night, I will put your name in a drawing for your choice of my famous cheesecake OR chocolate chip cookies. NOT the recipe…the actual product for you to enjoy. 👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️🍪🍰

Barbara Ann’s Spaghetti
1lb ground beef or turkey (I use spaghetti squash sometimes too instead of meat)
1 med onion, diced
1 med bell pepper, diced
Pasta (I use whole wheat or vegetable)
2 4oz cans tomato sauce, unsalted
2 16oz cans seasoned diced tomatoes (I use the basil, oregano), unsalted
1 jar sliced mushrooms (if you like mushrooms)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, red pepper (to taste)

In a large pot, prepare pasta according to pkg directions (when done, I drain and return to pot with a little oil on low heat whole preparing the sauce)…
In a large skillet on med heat, sauté the ground meat with the diced onion & bell pepper until meat is crumbled and done. If using turkey, add a tablespoon of oil. If meat is frozen, I continuously flip and scrape the meat as the heat defrosts it. Drain the oil off in a colander and return to skillet.

Add tomato cans, seasonings, and mushrooms. Bring to boil then reduce to simmer. Cook on low about 10-15 minutes, tasting and adding more seasoning if needed.

Here’s the vegetable pasta I like (found at whole foods)

Chicken Noodle Soup

Shredded carrots(I get a pkg from produce)
1 large onion diced
1 diced bell pepper
4-5 32 oz cartons chicken broth (I use a good low-sodium brand)
One pkg wide egg noodles(I use whole grain if store has them)
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded to preference and keep the bones (I use Whole Foods, but any are fine)
Spices: Salt, pepper, garlic, basil

– In a big pot, med. heat a tablespoon of oil (I use almond or olive oil) and sauté the vegetables until softened(about 5 min), you can sauté in separate pan and add if you prefer.
– Add chicken broth and bring to boil.
– Add noodles. Cook about 5 minutes or until softened.
– Add shredded chicken and bones.
– Reduce heat to med low.
– Add seasonings to taste.
– Simmer about 10 more minutes.
– Add water to desired broth level, if needed.

This makes a lot, so you can freeze, share, or cut recipe in half.

Abel’s Chili
I lb ground beef or turkey
1 diced onion
1 diced bell pepper
3 cans Bush’s Best chili beans

1 jar sliced mushrooms
2 tblsp chili powder
1 tblsp garlic powder
Salt to taste
Red pepper to taste

Sauté meat(add a little oil if using ground turkey), onion, and bell pepper until brown in a large skillet. Drain and add to rest of ingredients in a large pot. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer until done.

ENJOY!!! Let me know how it turns out.
