"A 10 minute vacation for the soul."
“I’ve learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom – how great is that?”— Soledad O’Brien

“A great many people (not you) do now seem to think that the mere state of being worried is in itself meritorious. I don’t think it is. We must, if it so happens, give our lives for others: but even while we’re doing it, I think we’re meant to enjoy Our Lord and, in Him, our friends, our food, our sleep, our jokes, and the birds’ song and the frosty sunrise.” C. S. Lewis
If you are expecting and trying to come up with a name for the baby, help may come from an unexpected source — The Social Security Administration. According to a press release on Friday, May 12, 2017 by Mark Hinkle, Acting Press Officer, “The agency began compiling the baby name list in 1997, with names dating back to 1880. At the time of a child’s birth, parents supply the name to the agency when applying for a child’s Social Security card, thus making Social Security America’s source for the most popular baby names.”
So what were the top names for 2016? Noah and Emma. To see the entire top 10 list as well as to search for other popular baby names visit https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames. They also have information on getting the new arrivals Social Security number.
Thanks to Bob for forwarding the interesting little tidbit to me. 🙂
“Send out a cheerful, positive greeting, and most of the time you will get back a cheerful, positive greeting. It’s also true that if you send out a negative greeting, you will, in most cases, get back a negative greeting.” Zig Ziglar

This is reblog of an older post. I chose to revive this for Mother’s Day because food always remind’s me of my Mom who was a great cook and passed along her skills and recipes to me. Whenever Spring rolls around I think of inviting a few friends over for brunch, which Mom did every year. This is a recipe we discussed one year when she asked me for ideas.
Have a Happy Mother’s Day on Sunday and if she is still living, call your Mom!

“Each of us is called to do something in the name of love, to make sure that humanity comes to understand itself and is able to choose love over fear.”
