Music To Cook By . . .

Music is incredible. It can reach right into our souls and touch us in ways that nothing else can. It doesn’t matter what language you speak or what country you’re from, music can always find a way to connect with you. It’s a magical thing that can make us feel happy, sad, loved, or nostalgic. It can wrap us in a comforting embrace during our darkest moments and lift us to euphoric heights in our moments of triumph. Music is truly a gift, and I’m so grateful for it.

In the grand scheme of life, music is the conductor, creating a harmonious blend of melody and rhythm that resonates with our very souls. It has the power to heal wounds that words cannot reach, soothing the restless mind and awakening the dormant spirit. A soulful ballad can be a balm for a wounded heart, while an upbeat tune can be the motivation for an infectious dance of joy.

Music is a friend that gets us in ways words can’t. It mirrors our emotions, reflecting the full range of human experience. Whether it’s the sad notes of a violin or the happy beats of a drum, music can take us to places of deep thought or wild celebration.

Music is more than just an art form. It’s a universal language that speaks to the soul. It weaves a timeless narrative that transcends the boundaries of culture, time, and space. Music is a sublime mixture for the soul, offering a sanctuary where emotions flow freely and the heart finds its truest expression.

In this turbulent world we’re living in currently, it’s important to find some time to sit and enjoy listening to music at the same time listening to your soul. Music can be a great way to relax and de-stress, and it can also be a way to connect with your inner self. When you listen to music, pay attention to how it makes you feel.

Do you feel happy, sad, angry, or peaceful?
What does the music say to you?

Allow yourself to be open to the messages that the music is trying to send you. Listening to music can be a great way to connect with your inner self and find peace and tranquility in this turbulent world.

“Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.” ~ Maya Angelou

Those Who Wander Are Not Always Lost

Going with the flow doesn’t mean we’re clueless about our destination. It just means we’re open to

different paths to get there.

The expression “going with the flow” is like floating down a river. When you go with the flow, you let the current take you downstream instead of trying to swim against it. Some people think that people who go with the flow are lazy or passive, but it actually takes a lot of awareness, presence, and the ability to blend your own energy with the energy around you to truly go with the flow.

Going with the flow doesn’t mean we just give up and let things happen. It means we relax our grip on our plans and expectations, and pay attention to the energy around us. We can then tap into that energy and move with it, which is much faster than trying to fight against it.

Going with the flow doesn’t mean we don’t have a plan. It means we’re open to different ways of achieving our goals. We’re also open to changing our goals if we realize that what we originally wanted isn’t what we really want. The important thing is that we keep moving forward, even if we don’t know exactly where we’re going.

We know that things don’t always go according to plan, and that’s okay. Sometimes we need to let go of our expectations and roll with the punches. Going with the flow means being open to change and trusting that things will work out in the end. It’s about being present in the moment and accepting whatever comes our way.

A lot of us are scared to go with the flow because we don’t think it will lead us to where we want to be. This leads us to stick with plans that aren’t working, stay on paths that are blocked, and obsess over relationships that aren’t fulfilling.

But sometimes, the best way to get where you want to go is to just let go and see where the journey takes you. You might be surprised at where you end up.

If you find yourself stuck in a rut, do yourself a favor and let go of the need to control everything. Trust that the universe has a plan for you and go with the flow. Let go of the things that are holding you back and be open to new possibilities.

Take a deep breath and lean into the current!

Peace & Harmony, Cheryl

First . . . Do The Five

1. Wash your hands

after coughing or sneezing

when caring for the sick

before, during and after you prepare food

before eating

after toilet use

when hands are visibly dirty

after handling animals or animal waste

This step has repeatedly been argued for and has found to be helpful in prevention of spreading the Coronavirus. In addition, the following steps should now be taken seriously:

2. Cough/sneeze into your elbow

Completely cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or a sleeve or flexed elbow when coughing or sneezing

Throw the used tissue into a closed bin immediately after use

Clean hands with soap and water or alcohol-based handrub after coughing or sneezing and when caring for the sick

3. Don’t touch your face

4. Stay more than 6 feet away from others

5. Stay the f&%k home . . . Especially, if you feel sick

The last three are self-explanatory. By touching your face, the pathogens have an easy chance to infect you if they have made it onto your hands. Face-touching is natural and often hard to avoid the behavior. This is why it is so important to wash your hands.
