“No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.” Og Mandino
Refuse to quit. Choose to learn from losses and failures, before you know it, they’ll be calling you the comeback kid.
Slow down. Enjoy those you love. Enjoy life.
Don’t Miss the Important things of life.

Sweet potatoes provide 1,922 mcg RAE or 215 percent of the DV for vitamin A per 1 cup cooked as well as complex carbs needed for energy and nearly a quarter of your daily needs for fiber. One medium baked sweet potato contains 122 percent of the DV for vitamin A. Because vitamin A is fat-soluble (like vitamins D, E and K), it’s important to make sure you’re getting enough fat in your diet to help your body absorb the nutrient. Pair baked sweet potato with cheese or chili, two fat-rich foods that help your body absorb the vitamin A in the potato. Carrots are known for being eye-healthy, and that’s thanks to its beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. Per 1-cup cooked carrots, you’ll get 1,329 mcg RAE or 148 percent of the DV — so, yes, carrots are rich in vitamin A. If you prefer them raw a medium carrot clocks in at 44 percent of the DV.
Note: I slice sweet potatoes and toss them in my air fryer. They’re great as chips with either hummus or guacamole.
Joe: “My cousin stole a calendar.”
Pete: “What happened?”
Joe: “He got a year.”

“Sometimes your only available transportation is a leap of faith.” Margaret Shepherd
If you’re not willing to take a leap of faith when the opportunity strikes, you’ll never know. You’ll walk back into what you’ve known and where you feel safe and you’ll have missed the destiny that was earmarked for you. Dare to leap and not look back.
Iris of Life
Zitkála-Šá
Like tiny drops of crystal rain,
In every life the moments fall,
To wear away with silent beat,
The shell of selfishness o’er all.
And every act, not one too small,
That leaps from out the heart’s pure glow,
Like ray of gold sends forth a light,
While moments into seasons flow.
Athwart the dome, Eternity,
To Iris grown resplendent, fly
Bright gleams from every noble deed,
Till colors with each other vie.
’Tis glimpses of this grand rainbow,
Where moments with good deeds unite,
That gladden many weary hearts,
Inspiring them to seek more Light.
“Only in the darkness can you see the stars.”
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
