Stress Reduction Tip of the Week
Focus your attention inward. Before you became a spouse and a parent, you were a complete and delightful person in your own entity. However, over the years some of us lose our spirit, or don’t know any more who we have become. We listen to criticism from parents, teachers, friends, spouses and our own children. We wear scarlet letter badges of negativity. So, take back your power. Believe in your core self and act that way. No one can trivialize you, hurt you, or push your button unless you let that person. Conceive, Believe, Achieve.

Food of the Week - Mushrooms
Adding Mushrooms to your diet is a wonderful idea. They are rich in selenium, a powerful antioxidant that is thought to help prevent prostate cancer. In addition, selenium is important for both a properly working immune system and thyroid. Be careful: Selenium helps those interested in reproduction. Also, mushrooms contain copper which works with iron to keep red blood cells healthy. Mushrooms contain the B vitamins—all you need to eat is five medium-sized mushrooms to reap that benefit. Mushrooms are fancy additions to salads. Put them on top of baby spinach leaves and cherry tomatoes. Or shave some parmesan cheese on field greens and top with mushrooms, a little olive oil, black pepper and crusty bread and you are good to go. Mushrooms sautee deliciously with onions and peppers. Sautee an extra amount to store in the fridge, so that you can spoon them into your sandwiches. Mushrooms are low in calories, high in vitamins and minerals and quite delicious. Cooking with them makes you seem like a gourmet. Well, it works for me.
