Who Cooks on a Thursday??

MEEeeeee

I Cooked...Tilapia Spinach Mushroom thingy

Ingredients 
4 Tilapia fillets
2 cups of mushrooms
2 cups of spinach
1/2 cup of chicken broth
pepper
salt
butter
olive oil

You can X the olive oil and butter and just spray your pan with non stick spray but I figure the olive oil and butter gives it flavour so a 1/2 teaspoon of butter with about a 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil should do the trick.

Salt and pepper your fish, you can choose any seasoning you want but I only used salt and pepper.

When the pan is hot - add your fish fillets

Brown on both sides - this takes no more than 4 mins per side if your pan is hot enough

Take them out the pan - put um in the microwave for safe keeping

Now - add mushrooms, stir a bit until softened

Then add your chicken broth and spinach

Let it simmer down, simmer down (a joke only my cousin would get)

Slam um all on the plate and you are ready to eat, quick, healthy and filling.

YAY...

Jessie J backing vocalist inspiration - Gotta Be True to Yourself

There's a pureness in their voices I can not put into words and from I first heard this - I was enamored and played it like 50 times - no breaks! And they inspired this....

Days seem a haze
lack luster
lost the glaze
dreams replaced
by issues faced
monetarily no gain
sense lapsed
loved a fool, fool left
the only thing that went right
hardened by love loss
lovers lied
could fill stadiums with tears cried
tried to change
built a wall...
       but I urge you
let it crumble
let it fall
you were meant to be
strong
not stone
don't let hardships in life
crush your soul
you were meant to be
the best version
       of who you are

I've heard this song before, and I loved it then but it's like the combination of their voices bestowed a gift of clarity right before me.  As most of us often do, in navigation of this crowded yet lonely world, we try to find our footing.

We dream.
We aspire.
We work.

Sometimes it feels like it's going no where. It feels like you're climbing an active volcano with bricks on your back. And just as you feel like those bricks can get no heavier - you are given another load. I understand. I get it. But in order for you to get where you are supposed to be you have to weather this journey. When I discuss my discontent with my best friend sometimes he seems so insensitive. He's like well you know what you want, you have to do it - put in the work. I wanna say shut up and tell me, "there there - you're right. it's okay." However, I understand that sometimes I need to hear those things so I can refocus and just be the best of myself. I can't allow people's actions to dictate who I am or who I become.

I am a work in progress, but I'm not hiring - God's got the job!

Places to Donate: Hurricane Joaquin, Assisting Family Islanders

There is no way we could have estimated that hurricane Joaquin would cause the devastation it did in the southern islands of the Bahamas. One of the hardest hit was Long Island, a place a recently visited - one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I was unable to reach the friends my mother and I made after Friday.  Our prayers our with them.

As the pictures and videos of flooding and other damages continue to be shared on the internet.  It continues to tug at heart strings.  It horrible to see, and I'm sure even more horrible to live through.  A lady in one of the videos, quite visibly shaken, said something powerful: Don't just take pictures of us, we need help, send whatever you can think of. 

You won't find any pictures here, but I have compiled a list of places I found that are collecting donations.  Thanks in advance.
