From the Editor In 2014, I was the most unhealthy I’d ever been. I was depressed, on a multitude of medications, and my health was deteriorating. I had to do something. My doctor’s advice was 30 minutes exercise a day and a healthy diet, but I knew it wasn’t that simple. Our bodies are a whole organism, and when one thing is out of whack, it can manifest itself in a plethora of places and ways - from pain or depression to skin issues, stomach problems, or other physical health manifestations.

I was talking to myself in a way I’d never speak to anyone and had to force myself away from derogatory negative self-talk. I began taking mini breaks (meditating) to relax and think about the positive things in my life. I took my doctor’s advice. I minimized sugar and flour in my diet and cut out chemical-laden cleaners, soaps, and lotions. And I began running, a hobby I realized that I really enjoyed. It didn’t happen overnight, but I started to feel better.

Within months, I was able to cut my medication in half. And within a year, I no longer needed it. Today, I struggle off and on with depression.

And health issues pop up. But when they do, I first check myself, my thoughts, and my stressors. Am I doing what I enjoy? Am I taking time for myself? Am I eating properly? Am I exercising? This New Year, I wish you health and happiness. I hope you take the time to get to know yourself again and take care of yourself.

You only have one life. Love yourself and treat yourself with patience, kindness, and care.

Become a VISION Queen in 2019

egardless what you choose as a catchy New Year’s mantra, if you want to achieve a goal of any kind, you need a compelling reason. Begin with a strong visual or feeling that stirs something inside of you.

For instance, a friend watching television one evening saw beautiful scenes of Barcelona. Something stirred inside her, and she vowed she would one day be there in person, taking in the sights and sounds just like on television. Through her business, she had a chance to earn a trip to Barcelona. It was not easy. But she held that image of Barcelona in her mind. A year later, she was there. All because she had a vision and a compelling reason to work hard when the going got tough.

What do you want in 2019?

“Find something that stirs your soul & hold on for dear life.”

An popped up recenlty that said, “Trouble finding plus-size clothing?” I had to laugh, as one of my goals is to get back on track with my healthy eating. The good Author, Paula Shumaker O’Donnell writes “Monday Motivation” news is I know I don’t have to do it alone. I have hired for businesses, individuals, and a nutritionist, and wellness coach in the past, and she publications such as “Guideposts changed my life. I know how to get back on track. I let Magazine,” “Mysterious Ways,” some family illness and stress, along with a few holiday “Angels on Earth,” and treats, get me off track. I remember how much fun it was “Woman’s World.” to shop for smaller sizes. It was a confidence builder for my Visit her website at other goals, too.

In July, Sarah will show her art at the juried Santa fe Art Show which is known worldwide and is the 3rd largest in the nation. She attributes much of her success to the support of her mother.

Regardless of the medium, Find Sarah’s work online at one thing is certain. Her work http://www.rasulink.com/ reflects the discipline instilled in her as one of five siblings to a single mother.

C

uddle up with a cup of this French Onion Soup, perfect for cold winter nights!

Remember to save yourself some fresh baguettes or rolls for sopping up all the goodness, and enjoy the rest of the bottle of wine as well. This soup only gets better when you save some for leftovers, too!

3 T. unsalted butter 3 lg. yellow or Spanish onions

Slice onions ¼ inch thick – I use a mandolin slicer to make it easy (4 cups, but more isn’t bad!)

1 tsp sugar

2 cloves garlic, minced (1.5 tsp)

2 tsp dried thyme

2 bay leaf

2 tsp dried rosemary

.5 cup very dry red wine

4 cups low sodium beef broth (any combination of beef stock/broth and bone broth works well)

2 cups water

1 tsp Better Than Boullion Beef

freshly ground black pepper to taste

8-12 slices small baguette, lightly toasted to dry it out, 1 inch thick. (I use day old baguette, it works great and means no waste)

4 oz. freshly grated or thinly sliced Gruyère cheese — in a pinch, use mozzarella

______________________________

Prep (15 minutes) Cook time, 45 minutes Slice the onions. Set aside the garlic, spices, and Better Than Bouillon for easy access.

Turn the instant pot to Saute. Let it heat up, then add butter. Once melted and beginning to brown, add half of the onions.

Add ¼ cup broth to the pot. Replace lid; turn the setting to pressure and set the cook time to 20 minutes.

When the time is up, perform a quick pressure release and when you are able to remove the lid, change the setting to Saute while you make the rest of the soup.

Add the broth and water to the onions and stir.

Leave the lid off.

Cook another 10-15 minutes on Saute to heat up the broth and thicken it up just a bit.

Taste and adjust the salt/pepper to your tastes before serving.

While the broth is heating up, prepare the toast and cheese.

Cook 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the sugar and cook another 5 minutes, continuing to stir. Ladle the soup into ovenproof dishes, place The sugar will help to carmelize the onions a piece of bread on the top, cover with cheese and add a lovely caramel color to the dish.
