I Thought You Might Be Interested in this Article: What's the purpose of your life? - Les Brown
Today, I’m sending you a short message to really make you think…
Have you ever just stopped and asked yourself: “What’s my purpose in life?”
Too many times we spend hours every day worrying, stressing and putting our attention only on the “what if this happens, what if that happens?”
We live in fear.
Many times, we don’t even know what we’re afraid of. We just live in fear.
Rather, I want you to take the same time and I want you to invest it in asking yourself what your purpose is. Who do you really want to be?
How can you live today so that you are living the life of your dreams.
No matter what, I can tell you one thing
“You are here to live your purpose. Search your mind and follow your heart. Be willing to make a radical change in order to live your dream. It takes courage to pursue a life that is calling you. Answer the call.”
I have no doubt that you have an amazing purpose. I have no doubt that you have the ability to live that purpose.
The only thing you need to be prepared for is making a radical change so that purpose can come to life.
You have something special - you have greatness within you.
With love,
Les Brown

Cheese & Spinach Stuffed Portobellos recipe
Cheese-&-Spinach-Stuffed Portobellos
From EatingWell:
March/April 2009
Here we take the elements of a
vegetarian lasagna filling—ricotta, spinach and Parmesan cheese—and
nestle them into roasted portobello mushroom caps. The recipe works best
with very large portobello caps; if you can only find smaller ones, buy
one or two extra and divide the filling among all the caps. Serve with a
tossed salad and a whole-wheat dinner roll or spaghetti tossed with
marinara sauce.
Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
- 4 large portobello mushroom caps
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
- 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese, divided
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped kalamata olives
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3/4 cup prepared marinara sauce
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Place mushroom caps, gill-side up, on the prepared pan. Sprinkle with salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Roast until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mash ricotta, spinach, 1/4 cup Parmesan, olives, Italian seasoning and the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Place marinara sauce in a small bowl, cover and microwave on High until hot, 30 seconds to 1 1/2 minutes.
- When the mushrooms are tender, carefully pour out any liquid accumulated in the caps. Return the caps to the pan gill-side up. Spread 1 tablespoon marinara into each cap; cover the remaining sauce to keep warm. Mound a generous 1/3 cup ricotta filling into each cap and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan. Bake until hot, about 10 minutes. Serve with the remaining marinara sauce.
Tips & Notes
- Easy cleanup: Recipes that require cooking spray can leave behind a sticky residue that can be hard to clean. To save time and keep your baking sheet looking fresh, line it with a layer of foil before you apply the cooking spray.

If you don't know what to serve for dinner tonight ...
Enjoy this refreshing salmon salad for lunch or dinner as part of your Healthiest Way of Eating. It is an excellent source of vitamin D and provides 105% of the Daily Value for omega-3 fatty acids. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 1½ lb salmon fillet,deboned and skin removed cut into 4 pieces
- 3 cups thinly sliced washed cucumber, do not peel
- 2 tsp minced jalapeno pepper*, seeds and stem removed
- 1/2 cup chopped scallion
- 3 TBS chopped fresh cilantro
- 1½ TBS chopped fresh mint
- Dressing
- 2 + 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
- 1 TBS tamari (soy sauce)
- 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
- salt and cracked black pepper to taste
- *if you like food less spicy, use less jalapeno pepper
- To Quick Broil salmon, preheat broiler and place an all stainless steel skillet (be sure the handle is also stainless steel) or cast iron pan under the heat for about 10 minutes to get it very hot. The pan should be 5 to 7 inches from the heat source.
- Rub salmon with 2 tsp fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper. (You can Quick Broil with the skin on; it just takes a minute or two longer. The skin will peel right off after cooking.)
- While pan is heating, prepare the remaining five ingredients.
- Using a hot pad, pull pan away from heat and place salmon on hot pan, skin side down. Return to broiler. Keep in mind that it is cooking rapidly on both sides so it will be done very quickly, usually in 7 minutes depending on thickness. Test with a fork for doneness. It will flake easily when it is cooked. Salmon is best when it is still pink inside.
- While salmon is cooking, whisk together lemon juice, tamari, olive oil, salt and pepper. When ready to serve toss with cucumber mixture. Do not toss ahead as it will dilute the flavor.
- Place cucumber salad on a platter and place salmon on top. Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and serve.

Five Dallas Officers Killed: Deadlist Day for Police Since September 9/11
It takes a lot to get me angry,and when I'm angry I'm not very
articulate with my words but I just feel the need to say something. I
have never been so disgusted by people as I am at this very moment and
the fucking media just keeps feeding the frenzy. People want justice and
I understand that, what happened to those two young black men was just
wrong, however, "justice" is not shooting 12 officers who had absolutely
NOTHING to do with those two incidents. Not all cops are bad, the
majority of them are not, wake the fuck up people. MY heart hurts so
much right now for the families of the slain & injured officers. My
heart hurts for the human race, period. And right now agree or disagree
with me I don't care, I'm not getting in any fucking debates with anyone
over this. I'm done...I'm, just done..
