Thought for Today
“Do you feel stuck?
Whether in a project, a job, a relationship,
or some other situation,
there is a time for perseverance,
and a time for letting go and moving on.”

3. In another bowl combine wet ingredients.
4. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add wet, stirring just to blend.
5. Stir in chocolate chips.
6. Place cupcake liners in a muffin pan.
7. Divide batter among the cups.
8. Bake 15-20 minutes or until the tip of a knife inserted into the top of a cupcake comes out clean.

Thought for Today
“Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.”
– William James
Thought for Today
“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
12 Tips for Gluten Free Living #1: Attitude is Everything
We create our life with our thoughts. No you did not choose to have an illness or an intolerance that limits the foods you can eat. But you can choose your reaction to the limitations.
- Focus on wellness rather than illness.
- Surround yourself with positive people.
- Try turning your thoughts and actions to living a happy and healthy life, instead of feeling sick and deprived.
- Use affirmations to focus your mind on the positive.
The gluten free life can be an adventure and an opportunity to learn new things if your approach it with an open mind. Look for the positive in the gluten free life and you will find it – or it will find you.
