1. Recent night when Summer and Jewel ate the millet seed from my palm. I don’t know how far we’ll get – although I THINK we’ll get to freedom for them, whatever it takes lol. But I am enjoying the moment. And I think they are too. The feel of both of these little flighted creatures in my hand – is magical. I am so grateful.

14. Louise L. Hay
15. Her book, “I Can Heal My Life
16. The fact that it was given to me when my life REALLY needing healing, as it does now, - BUT I WAS WITH J. So that is important for me to remember. It is NOT like things were so great then either! What about the 8 months of virtually no ability to speak. The pneumonia. And so on.

The stew my mom made up for me when I became vegetarian in 1990: Mom's Vegetable Stew
My precious mom devised this for me when I first became vegetarian, almost 21 years ago, and she didn't understand that but wanted to support it and be able to cook for me
*Filling and Delicious
Can have with a salad too or some nice whole grain Italian type bread
I love it hot, warm, or cold from fridge!
Even on a sandwich!
Add a little oil to a pot, and add garlic powder. Hot pepper (flakes) optional.
Blend one 28 ox. can crushed tomatoes in blender.
Add to pot and put gas on. Add 1/2 can of water.
Add two peeled potatoes, cut into pieces.
Add baby carrots and 1 pkg. frozen string beans.
Can also add 1 small can Le Seur peas.
let simmer for at least 1 1/2 hours - and test carrots with fork to make sure they are tender.
While simmering, stir every once in a while.
