Inspirational QUOTE for the Day - July 16, 2008

"Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall at last unveil." -- John Ruskin

There, that is my inspirational quote offering for today -- and now, I'm taking myself to the kitchen, where I'm about to put together a Pumpkin Pudding -- yum! Mark and I are adopting the SuperFoods 'program' and have been including more salmon, spinach, and blueberries to our diet already -- this PP treat will be our first SuperFoods dessert recipe tried.

Here's to better health for us all! -- Davielle

Barbara said...: SuperFoods...I just looked up on WebMD and they said dark, dark chocolate is a super food! Now that's my kind of eating plan!; July 18, 2008 at 3:59 PM
Davielle (aka, Princess Magpie) said...: Barb - YES, dark chocolate IS a SuperFood, clever girl! Mark's friend and client, Ray, is a partner in the SuperFoods venture, and we're "devouring" all three books: SuperFoods Rx (book 1); SuperFoods Health Style (book 2); and The SuperFoods Rx DIET (book 3). I just loaned Uncle Jay and Auntie Haruko the first book since I had two copies. GOOD STUFF. Be well, dear niece -- Love, Aunt Davi; July 18, 2008 at 4:56 PM

FOR September 2012 ...

Outside My Window today... 61 degrees @ 9:45 am on 9-8-12, with an expected high of 88 today; blue skies; a charming back yard with an old white iron bench in the corner, and three amazing cyclists warming up for their criterium (bike race) today at the 2012 Masters National Cycling Championships here in Bend, Oregon.

I am STILL thinking ... about how excited I am for 2013's AN ARTFUL JOURNEY, which I am registered to attend!

I am thankful for ... all my loved ones, and the kindnesses they show me.

From the kitchen ... Zucchini Bread with Cranberries & Pistachios and an awesome pot of coffee

I am wearing ... my pajamas with my ocelot-print flannel robe

I am creating ... ideas for a Magpie's Art Nest workshop or two in 2013; and curriculum plans for a NWF Habitat Stewards Training series in Encinitas, Ca in 2013

I am going ... into downtown Bend shortly to see my husband Mark and his teammates Steve, John, Joey, Mike, Bob, Alex and our housemate Kal race for a national championship in the masters 54-59 Criterium event.

I am reading ... ALL THE DANCING BIRDS by Auburn McCanta; "Desire to Inspire" by Christine Mason Miller (in bits here & there, to let it sink in); and I'm about to start MY FATHER'S HOUSES (Memoir of a Family) by Steven V. Roberts.

I am praying ... mostly for my father, who now lives in a memory care facility and who turns 92 in 2 weeks; for healthy and happy family members and friends; for the safe arrival of our next grandchild, Jamison, who is due in January 2013; and for many friends the world over who have asked me to pray for and with them. There are many, many intentions in my prayer journal these days.

I've been listening to ... a lot of classis rock on this holiday - it's good driving music, and it's good 'gathering / party' music for a houseful of mature male cyclists with their one (that would be me) 'housemother'. Bike racing, it's good stuff.

Around the house ... it's pretty quiet with us here and my niece and great-niece there.

One of my favorite things ... waking up every day.

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The YEAR: a 3-night return trip home from Bend, taking our time so we aren't in the car for as many hours each day; 5 nights in Healdsburg, CA in October; getting re-certified with NWF (national wildlife federation) as a Habitat Steward HOST in their Wildlife Habitat Garden program ...
