So far I’ve ridden 101 miles of my 200 mile goal, and I’m exceeding my sponsorship goal. If you can, please support me as I ride to raise funds and awareness to fight children’s cancer. Thank you! https://t.co/7J3wRY5hht

@Wookietron9000 I love you, fiercely.

@Wookietron9000 That’s why they don’t wear shirts.

This is my neighbor, Tim. He and his wife, Rachel are the best of good people. Tim and Rachel are the first people to show up when anyone needs help.
If you can, please give. Tim has had a rough road, and he’s still on it. Please help ease the financial burden they’re carrying.

I roasted fresh Italian sausage & onion, while sautéing onion & garlic. Put the roasted sausage into the sautéed onion and garlic, and deglazed with some white wine, adding fresh ground pepper. Fresh cherry tomatoes in the roasting pan with a sprinkle of salt & a drizzle of oil.

Dinner is going to be a little something special. My food prep game, healthy or indulgent, is strong. Cooked once, & have 3 meals in the works. Meal 1-Shrimp & Green Chili Enchiladas with a Garlic, Green Chili, Sour Cream Enchilada Sauce, sprinkled with Cheddar Cheese. 1 of 3

My house smells delicious, and I’m thinking how cooking has lost much of its joy for me. I miss cooking for family and friends. So much. #itswhatsfordinner #cookingfordays #makeyourownfood

[Barbara Carter @BarbaraMarieC]

Meal two—the buttery, garlic, onion broth from roasting the shrimp, and the extra cooked shrimp ready to be made into a Seafood Pasta Dish. Meal three—using the leftover Garlic, Green Chili, Sour Cream Enchilada Sauce to make Chicken enchiladas at a later date. 2 of 3

Four years ago, I took one of my late husband’s dreams and made it my own. Jump out of your comfort zone. Ignore the voice in your head, and all the naysayers. Give people something to talk about—that way they have less to make up. Be true to the path set before you. Part 1

We’re definitely more than we or others think. Love your friends and family with all your heart. Live a brave, bold, kind, grace-filled, adventurous, generous life. Start now.

[Barbara Carter @BarbaraMarieC]

Step away from people who can’t hear you because their pre-conceived opinions get in the way. Let other people do the weighing, measuring, and judging—we are choosing to live a big life, with open hearts. We are more than who some people say we are. Part 2
