By Jenn






Ingredients

  • 1 pound bow-tie, or other short pasta (whole wheat or other whole grain)
  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless wild salmon fillet
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • Juice and finely grated zest of 2 lemons
  • 1-2 cups of fresh peas or 1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas, defrosted
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, plus more for serving

Directions

  1. Cook whole wheat pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup pasta water; return pasta to pot.
     
  2. Meanwhile, season salmon with salt and pepper, and place in a medium skillet. Add 1/4 cup water and lemon juice and zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover, and let steam for 10 minutes.
     
  3. Add peas, and continue to steam, covered, until peas are tender and salmon is opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes more.
     
  4. Slide entire contents of skillet onto pasta; add butter and mint. Season with salt and pepper. Toss carefully to combine, gently breaking salmon into large flakes. Add reserved pasta water as necessary to smooth sauce. Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional mint, if desired.
     



Good News! It's Not the End of the World!


Dr. Joan Borysenko’s newest book It's Not the End of the World: Developing Resilience in Times of Change is hot off the press. If you, a friend, or loved one needs some help becoming more stress hardy and resilient, please consider purchasing from your favorite local bookseller, or ordering online. It's brief, practical, inspiring, and written as her heartfelt answer to the question, "How can I help?"

In addition to the book, she is offering a series of 5 free teleseminars on resilience through HayHouseRadio.com (see schedule below). As a bonus, she’ll be having several other Hay House authors as special guests, asking each one how they tapped into resilience at stressful times in their own lives. I hope you'll join her for the series and tell your friends. Register for the series, I’ll be listening in along with you … Lee

PS: If you miss any of these shows (the first was Aug 26), it’s good to know that becoming a member of Hay House Radio (for a very small annual fee) allows you to access most of their archived shows!

Hello Friends...

I want to share a gem that I came across recently. Here it is ... "The vibrational difference between hope and fear is the difference between recovery or not. Likewise, the vibrational difference between hope and fear is the difference between surviving and thriving" … Abraham/Hicks.

If you notice you are in fear mode right now (meaning you do not feel fully good and are worried about something, anything), here’s a couple of quick ways to shift your vibe from fear to hope, one small shift at a time:

  1. Take one small (and I mean small) step toward reaching a goal. One tiny step toward something that is meaningful for you. For example, if your home feels like a mess and you want it clean and de-cluttered, start with the freezer portion of your fridge. Or start with one small drawer. That’s it. Nothing else. When you’re done, tune in and notice the shift in your vibe. Feel better?
     
  2. Ask yourself one of the Right Questions by Debbie Ford (my clients love these powerful questions). For example, if you’re worried about any relationship, place your attention onto the relationship and ask yourself "Am I standing in my power, or am I trying to please another?" Or, "Am I looking for what’s right or am I looking for what’s wrong?" Powerful questions! Notice that when you take one small action to move back into your power, you’ve also taken one move from fear to hope … and you might even notice that you’ve moved from fear to faith! Powerful indeed!

    That’s it dear friends – for now. I see us all thriving, more and more and more all the time. Wishing you a nurturing Sept/Oct full of feel good vibes in YOU!

    Your friend and fan,
    Lee

Inner Power!

Heaven needs the light workers of the world, including you, to realize and utilize their power. Release any fears you have about being powerful. Keep your self-esteem high by honoring yourself, taking excellent care of your physical and emotional self, working on your dreams and aspirations, and spending time in prayer, meditation and nature.

The higher your level of self-esteem, the more comfortable you will be with your power.

May we all be safe.
 

 




THOUGHTS TO INSPIRE


Close your eyes, take one deep breath and observe the wonders of simple
rejuvenation.
...Lee


Every thought is vibrating at a very personal frequency that attracts like thoughts - until eventually the thoughts manifest into "real life".
 …Abraham
 

As the island of knowledge grows, so grows the shoreline of the unknown. Spend your time on the beach,
not on the mountain.

BE A KID AGAIN

Spend an hour with a child today, taking note of how much wisdom is embodied in what appears to be juvenile behavior and beliefs. Notice his or her fascination with seemingly insignificant items, repeating the same senseless phrase, tantrums, or laughter. Jot down your impressions of the wisdom behind such so-called childish impulses and vow to be a kid again as frequently as possible.

SEPTEMBER POEM

Departing summer hath
assumed
An aspect tenderly illumed,
The gentlest look of spring;
That calls from yonder leafy shade
Unfaded, yet prepared to fade,
A timely carolling.

OCTOBER IS ALIVE!

Just before the death of flowers,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festival season
When nature is all aglow.
