Or as my wife would say, “Don’t be a dick.”
I just wanted to share my thoughts on positivity, and what you put out in the world. I really believe what you put out is attracted back to you, so keep positive people and push forward!

Woot! I’ve sold my first two books EVER!
And I haven’t even been able to format them right for the premium catalog!
Now I really feel like an author. To the two people who bought my book, thank you(BTW, could you leave me a review on the first one? Lol)! Sara and I should be posting the last one on smashwords soon, then I need to find some help formatting them correctly for their catalog. Stupid TOC, they won’t accept it into their catalog unless I have one.
Been a pain in the ass editing this last book from my phone. I feel like Missy is sitting on my shoulder, whispering in my one good ear that the book isn’t done, running down to my thumbs and putting them to work on this android keyboard! Now I know why Nord hates fairies, they’re annoying!
And Sara will have her weekly post up tommorrow. We’ve both been fighting the head cold from hell! Anyways, time for the special post, I hope you all enjoy!
Mangoes:
I’be always liked mangoes, though with how I grew up, we never had them. It wasn’t until I was 25 that I tried my first ones. Dried and prepackaged, they were a gift from a phillipino coworker. They’d been coated in singer, and were delicious!
Now that I’m making my life changes, I’ve gone back to eating them. And since they’re perfectly sweet already, I buy frozen, no sugar added.
Pros:
Full of vitamins! Lots of vitamin A, E, C, K, and B6.
Filling! One cup is equal to only 110 calories.
Fiber! As an American, I can say we as a nation do NOT eat enough fiber, the good carb!
Cons:
High in sugar! 25 grams in a cup.
Low in vitamin B12! Going to have to keep the supplements close for that mid day boost.
A pain in the ass to peel! Mangoes are dense, full of water, and have a slick outer coating. These fruit are an accident waiting to happen if you don’t know how to peel them safely. That’s why I suggest buying frozen, just way less of a hassle.
Recipes:
Mango salsa
2 cups sliced mangoes
2 cups sliced peaches
2 cloves garlic
2 Tablespoons fresh ginger
1/4 cup basil
2 chilli peppers
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Make sure your stuff is diced to a size you like. Mix it all together and place in the fridge overnight. Nice healthy additive free salsa!
Curried mango chicken:
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion chopped
3 cloves minced garlic
2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
3 Tablespoons curry paste
2 cups diced mangoes
Melt olive oil in a pan. Add onion and garlic, sautee until onions are see through. Add chicken, turning to brown the meat. Add curry paste and coat chicken. Toss in the mangoes and cook until chicken is done.
Best place to buy!
Honestly, your local grocery store. I usually just buy frozen, no need to peel them! $4.50 a pound at Safeway here in Washington.
It’s my birthday, yay!
I actually forgot until I checked Facebook x D
But that’s okay. I was hoping to post some of my GTA story up today, but to no avail. Spent the last week scouring my friend’s old PCs to get mine running, but it didn’t work. So they’re still trapped on a dead computer. Oh well, I guess I’ll keep giving weight loss advice.
Meditation: If you don’t meditate, you really should start. Fifteen minutes a day, helps you focus. Helps you prepare. And it helps you RELAX! Which is something we all need to do in this world. Lots of simple techniques to use. Not to mention that with practice, you’ll find it helps with pain management, as well as a general sense of well being. But just like anything else in life, you get out what you put in.
Favorite technique:
Step one- breathe in through your nose. Internally ask yourself, “Who am I?” Three times.
Now breathe out through the mouth over the course of six seconds. Count it if you need to.
Step two- In through the nose again. Ask yourself, “What do I want?” Three times.
breathe out over six seconds.
Step three Breathe in and ask, “What is my purpose?” Three times.
Exhale, and clear your mind to relax.
Don’t try to answer the questions, just ponder them as you relax.
One thing I have noticed about health is that your body and mind are connected. You work on one without the other, and you’ll send everything out of whack.
Weight loss food of the day:
Tumeric
For those of you who like curry, you know this spice. Bright orange with a savory smell, this is a miracle herb. Just a tablespoon a day has AMAZING health benefits.
Pros
Contains most of the vitamins and minerals your body needs! From vitamin A to magnesium, tumeric has everything but protein.
A little goes a long way! Just a dash added to salads and soups brings out a lot of flavor.
Proven to help with prostate and other cancers! http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nE7T5FZUgu4
Cons
If you eat too much, it turns your poop orange! And I mean neon. Freaked me out the first day I used it.
Stains easily! Not just clothing, but skin too. So be careful when handling it.
Recipe:
Tumeric chicken
Two chicken breasts
pinch salt
two pinches pepper
quarter tablespoon tumeric
Place chicken in a baking pan. Sprinkle herbs on them. Bake at 325 for one hour. Cover the pan for juicier meat.
Slow cooker curry chicken noodle soup
Two chicken breasts
Five cups liquid(I use chicken broth)
One and a half teaspoons salt
tablespoon pepper
tablespoon tumeric
Two cups noodle of preference
One and a half cups frozen vegetables(I prefer corn with this recipe)
Place all the ingredients in a slow cooker. Set to low, and walk away for eight hours.
Best place to buy:
Since tumeric is a spice, you can readily find it in spice aisles, but I’m a frugal spender, so I like to look for deals. http://www.swansonvitamins.com/starwest-botanicals-turmeric-root-powder-organic-1-lb-pkg?SourceCode=INTL405&CAWELAID=1509247513&mkwid=gESnxh2Y&pcrid=59192791447&gclid=Cj0KEQjwtb6hBRC_57Pvyfn66LsBEiQAtlFVu7fjz3zaFqu6u7k7YFx8ipRovyJqRxFemKOlqiHh62kaAv9d8P8HAQ was the best deal I could find.n
So, I finally found a place to put it up!
Not a traditional publisher…but still. I finally found a good place to put it up for free. Want to offer it to people, so I can get reviews and such without too many problems. https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/476522 Download the Epub, the others need to be updated, and the formatting is being annoying >.>
Now…I have to figure out what I’m going to be putting here. Maybe I’ll start doing some flash fiction or something. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy! And as always, feel free to leave any feedback! Preferably on the book page! Or you can always post it to my Amazon page.
