Just wanted to say I am LOVING my doTERRA oils. I am shocked actually. I took the DigestZen via capsule, it worked. I drank it in my water one day…it worked. Yesterday, I just rubbed a few drops on my stomach… bam, it worked. I’m really impressed! Was never a firm believer in the essential oils before, but now I’m sold. Can’t wait for my shipment!

Chick pea, strawberry and haloumi salad
I think this salad is the closest one I know to having the right balance of macro-nutrients - plus it’s delicious!
Ingredients
- 250g punnet of strawberries
- 1/2 bunch mint
- 90g (1/2 block) haloumi
- 2 small 125g cans of chick peas
- Baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/4 lemon
Combine the spinach, mint, strawberries and chick peas. Lay the sliced avocado over the top. Quickly cook the haloumi on a pan over low-medium heat until soft and golden (approximately 2 minutes). Slice the haloumi while it’s still warm and place it on top of the salad. Squeeze lemon juice over the haloumi and avocado and serve. This will be substantial enough for a meal for two.
I also really enjoy this without the haloumi and avocado. The strawberries, chick peas, mint and spinach are just such a winning combo.

last night’s dream
last night, i dreamt that i was going to see me at work. i got there after a long drive, i guess i was working elsewhere, not in the city i live in. when i got there i was at happy hour and i was trying to find me…. i couldn’t find me so i was hanging out with some of me’s coworkers. after a while i got tired of not knowing where i was so i set out again to find me. and i found me, sitting in a dark corner of the room. i was really upset with me for ignoring me after i drove all that way to see me. then my boss called and was mad and yelled at me to get back to work. so i a had to leave the party and go back to work. i was really annoyed.
do you ever dream like that?
I’d like to repeat the advice that I gave you before, in that I think you really should make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt.
So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future.
The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

APOD: The Fairy of Eagle Nebula
Image Credit: The Hubble Heritage Team, (STScI/AURA), ESA, NASA
Explanation: The dust sculptures of the Eagle Nebula are evaporating. As powerful starlight whittles away these cool cosmic mountains, the statuesque pillars that remain might be imagined as mythical beasts. Pictured above is one of several striking dust pillars of the Eagle Nebula that might be described as a gigantic alien fairy. This fairy, however, is ten light years tall and spews radiation much hotter than common fire. The greater Eagle Nebula, M16, is actually a giant evaporating shell of gas and dust inside of which is a growing cavity filled with a spectacular stellar nursery currently forming an open cluster of stars. The above image in scientifically re-assigned colors was released in 2005 as part of the fifteenth anniversary celebration of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope.

last night’s dream
this is in the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife - i read the book, haven’t seen the movie.
i kept having encounters with a man, my husband (and my real life husband was my dream husband)…. i would go to this hotel, to the check-in desk, and most of the time he would be there (but sometimes not). one day he was there and we went to a quiet place and he was crying. he was leaning back against me and i was cradling his head in my hands and stroking the tears from his face. i wanted to know what had him so upset, then i noticed some writing on his hand, like a tattoo. it was the name of another woman, with a birth and death date. i asked him what that was, then asked if he had my name tattooed. he showed me his other hand, and my name was there, with the note “died, 51 years old”. i woke up crying… and since my 2-year old dog has been diagnosed with lymphoma, and given 2-3 months to live, i started crying even harder….
but the dream is kind of creeping me out…. i am 33 and while i don’t necessarily take this as a sign i will die at 51, it is still giving me strong feelings of needing to commit to pursuing the path i want my life to take.
i had hoped to dream of my cat smokey, who left this world march 12 2008, and is waiting for me at the rainbow bridge…. i wanted it to be a sign that my dog starbuck would also have a happy place to go and that i would see her again, and all would be well.
The life you have left is a gift. Cherish it. Enjoy it now, to the fullest. Do what matters, now.

last night’s dream
i dreamed i was at my grandma’s house - no one else was there but me. i was in her bedroom, with the light on but blinds closed, i was going through or organizing her stuff. i thought i heard some laughter or talking, and walked out into the living room, and towards the garage. there were some guys in the garage saying “hurry up” and they were stealing stuff. i was so scared, i ran out the back door and to the side of the house. i was trying to wedge myself in a corner where a storage shed/fence/bush met up. the bush was tearing at my clothes and hair and i was trying to push the fence open so i could get out front and escape…. i woke up, scared and clenching my entire body.
my grandparents have been in ill health lately, in and out of the hospital, perhaps i feel as though they are being robbed (or i am being robbed of them) because they are only 73 and 76 and that isn’t old enough to be in such ill health….
