In this section, I share with you positive affirmations, quotes, and inspirational stories.

No matter how difficult life may be through our trials and tribulations, we need to remember that each of us have the ability to be stronger than our circumstances. Believe me, I’ve had my share of hardships with my physical health throughout my childhood and well into my adulthood. There were times that I struggled financially and practically broke. I’m a firm believer that the Universe has a way of working things out for us as long as we keep our faith and envision a positive outcome. We manifest what we believe. So say this mantra to yourself, ā€œI am powerful. I am confident. I can do everything I set my mind to.ā€

ā€œI have decided to stop saying YES to people and situations that don’t support my well-being. Instead, I will say yes to my happiness, and yes to my growth, and yes to all the people and things that inspire me to be authentic and whole, while at the same time accepting me just as I am. My yes, from here on out, is my pledge to live honestly, my commitment to love myself
fiercely, and my cry to create my best life possible. Yes.ā€ ~ Scott Stabile

The power of positivity: I love who I’ve been, but I really love who I’m becoming! Do not give your past the power to define your future.

What is Courage?

Courage is a word that propels people into action. It's speaking out against injustice. It is debating your point of view while listening respectfully to opposing points. It's being able to admit when you're wrong. It's chasing your dreams against the odds. It's moving forward when you're scared to death. Courage is within us all, though we don't always realize it. Here is your reminder: You Are Courage! Here is my personal doTERRA essential oil diffuser blend that I created to help boost ... View the Post

Be Fearless!

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? I would do everything that I can and want in life, especially with things that align with my purpose and passion. Back in 2017, I invested in my personal and professional growth through a virtual coaching program with Sonia Ricotti called the Unsinkable Life Class. The topic on being fearless has been my favorite subject matter. I am revisiting this subject at this present moment as I learn to get out of my comfort zone and move towards a higher ...

Ā I am a magnet for prosperity, abundance and good vibrations! Health doesn't always come from medicine. Most of the time it comes from peace of mind, peace in heart, peace of soul. It comes from laughter and love. Don't give up! All of your hard work will pay off soon, stick with what you're doing no matter how hard it gets. A person who truly loves you will never stop believing in you and will never let you go, no matter how hard the situation is. Make up your mind ... View the Post

Metamorphosis

Lately, I've been thinking and processing where my life is at during the present moment and how did I get here. No, I'm not talking about the various stages of human life. I'm reflecting on the past three years of my life and how my personal relationships with people have changed. You see, I had a wonderful marriage until all hell broke loose in 2015 when certain people played this silly game called "victimization." Their manipulation, immaturity, and jealousy became their power. I've always ... View the Post

As an essential oil user, I’ve found that the be As an essential oil user, I’ve found that the best and safest way to clean fresh fruits is using one of my dōTERRA citrus essential oils that I keep on hand in the kitchen. Today, I’m using dōTERRA Wild Orange šŸŠ essential oil and simply add a few drops šŸ’§šŸ’§to the glass bowl filled with strawberries šŸ“ soaked in filtered water. I like to alternate various citrus essential oils when cleaning fruits and vegetables such as Lemon šŸ‹ , Lime, Wild Orange šŸŠ, and Grapefruit essential oils. By using Certified Pure Tested Grade essential oils such as dōTERRA, you can trust that you’re using the safest essential oils on food products. The oil helps release and cleans any microorganisms that may be on the surface of fruits and vegetables.

I’m soaking the strawberries šŸ“ in the Wild Orange šŸŠ bath for 15 minutes and then drain out the water. I gave the strawberries a final rinse, pat them dry with paper towel before serving. I’m using these strawberries to make a healthy and delicious grilled chicken strawberry salad for lunch today.

This is my go-to quick meal for either lunch or di This is my go-to quick meal for either lunch or dinner. Fried eggs with chopped scallions. Add tamari and ground black pepper right before serving. I love it with rice šŸš. You can also serve it with a side of toasts. I don’t use butter or margarine and opt for extra-virgin olive oil for healthier cooking.

Valentine’s Day dinner meal. Made this delicious Valentine’s Day dinner meal. Made this delicious gluten-free and dairy-free  crispy chicken thighs in a creamy mushroom šŸ„ Marsala sauce. I didn’t follow any recipe and created my own version inspired by the classic chicken Marsala dish. This makes 4 servings. Think I will add this dish to my collection of healthy gluten-free home cooking. 

I simply threw everything together last minute with the ingredients that I had, I didn’t even write them down during the cooking process. I do know that the main ingredients are bone-on and skin-on chicken thighs, Bella mushrooms, yellow onions, garlic, Marsala cooking wine, chicken broth, parsley (garnish), and plant-based French style winter truffle spread made by @miyokoscreamery that was purchased from @imperfectfoods. 

This is good with a side of brown rice, quinoa, or any veggies of your choice.

Old friends whom I have not seen in more than 3 ye Old friends whom I have not seen in more than 3 years decided that they wanted to get together with me for lunch. I made healthy winter salad with roasted butternut squash and red beets served with organic greens and shredded carrots. For the appetizer, I made pomegranate salsa made with diced mini cucumbers, red onions, jalapeƱo, fresh cilantro and tossed with lime dressing consisting of ground cumin, chili powder, kosher salt, a few drops šŸ’§ of dōTERRA lime and cilantro essential oils. Today is about soup and salad course. When friends arrive, I’ll be serving homemade potato gnocchi chicken soup (Olive Garden copycat recipe). Here’s to a new year and more get togethers with friends. Life is short so create new memories together when we can! šŸ¤—šŸŒ»
I enjoy making this homemade Asian chicken rice po I enjoy making this homemade Asian chicken rice porridge anytime of the year, but particularly often during cold winter months. Being Southeast Asian (half Lao and half Vietnamese), we grew up eating this porridge frequently. It’s simple to make with just a few ingredients (Jasmine rice, 2 chicken breasts, chicken broth, and herbs like fresh cilantro and scallions to serve with). You can make a big pot and feed a family of 6-8 people and still have some leftovers. The best part is that it’s inexpensive to make and gluten-free. I love garnishing the porridge with fried shallots and my mom’s homemade chili šŸŒ¶ļø oil. Oh, it’s very spicy hot. 🄵

Then mix with chopped English cucumberšŸ„’, red onion, sun dried tomatoes packed with olive oil, flat leaf parsley, and garnish with crumbled feta cheese.

The dressing is made using the olive oil from the sun dried tomatoes jar, white balsamic vinegar, ground smoked paprika, pinch of kosher salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, dōTERRA lemon šŸ‹ essential oil and black pepper essential oil.
