(Being) Fabulous Friday: "Sushi is like crack...

... and that sushi was good crack." - My P.I.C. (Partner in Crime) about our maiden voyage to Asuka Japanese and Fusion Restaurant

Sushi's making a comeback. For a twenty-something it can be sophisticated dinner alternative to a steakhouse house dinner. Not to mention it's cheaper and healthier for you than steak (though steak will always be my dining first love.)

I used to not it sushi at all because I didn't want to eat raw food (I know, I know) but once I tested the waters with a California Roll (which has all cooked meat) I was hooked. And the fact that you can pretty much find a place that does "Half Off" or "Buy One, Get One" anytime you have a craving, it made an affordable, healthy alternative.

Thoughtful Thursday: Take a moment a reflect

I was emptying out my email and came back across this email that I thought would be nice for people to think about...

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk,smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
3. When you wake up in the morning complete the followingstatement, 'My purpose is to __________ today.'
4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat lessfood that is manufactured in plants. 5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli , almonds & walnuts.
6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
7. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires,issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control.Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
9. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
11. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
12. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
13. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
14. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea whattheir journey is all about.
15. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
17. Forgive everyone for everything.
18. What other people think of you is none of your business.
19. GOD heals everything.
20. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
21. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch!!!
22. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.
24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.


Happy Thursday.
