A great #healthysnack #idea from @swimyogarun 👏👍👌💪 💚💚💚 Reposted from @swimyogarun with @repostapp ・・・ Here's one to show that food, just like life, doesn't always turn out the way you planned. Made this chia pudding the other day but didn't post it since both the pudding and the yoghurt topping was way too thin and didn't hold together. I used my standard pudding recipe but failed to stir it enough so it separated. 🙈 The yoghurt was mixed with raspberries and just didn't hold either. Well it was still very yummy and I won't make the same mistake again. ☺️ #yum #breakfast #chiapudding #chia #chiaseeds #eatclean #cleaneats #cleaneating #vegan #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #plantbased #foodie #foodporn #foodphotography #frukost #healthy #healthyfood #fitnessfood #feedfeed #gloobyfood #f52grams #buzzfeedfood #healthysnack #wholesome #fitgirl #dessertforbreakfast #wholefoods #whatveganseat

I didn't feel vulnerable anymore. I lost my humility. And that’s when growth stops.

Humans of New York

Full Story: 

“I don’t enjoy observing people as much as I used to. Everyone acts like they’re on stage. People used to come to The Village sheepishly. Nobody was sure if they belonged. We didn’t know if we were artists. These days everyone walks around like they’re contributing something. There’s no angst anymore. There’s too much certainty. And that’s a shame. Because all the best art comes from people who feel like they don’t belong. Art is a way of proving your existence. When I was a young man, a person that I respected told me that I was an artist. It was one of the worst things that could have happened to me. I stopped walking into museums or galleries with a sense of awe. I walked in feeling like an ‘artist.’ My arms would be crossed. If I liked a piece, it was ‘good.’ If I didn’t like a piece, it was ‘bad.’ I didn't feel vulnerable anymore. I lost my humility. And that’s when growth stops.”

An Unexpected Hero

"A few years ago.. I sat on my bed with pills in hand ready to end the pain. Then my cat crawled into my lap and pretty much knocked them out of my hand while wanting to be pet. I looked at his sweet face and thought, who the hell is going to feed you if I am gone? will you end up in a shelter? That was my moment to reconsider my worth. Someone (my cat) truly needed me. I know that it seems simple and contrite, but it was my truth. I was needed and I was loved. This is my story and you have a story too. You have WORTH. You are needed! Please, if you need to talk, call me. Let's talk. OR- Call someone that you feel can help. Ask for help!!!! We are here. ..and for God's sake get an animal. They know your worth and it saved me from the darkness. Below is a picture of my savior. Beck." -- Paulette LeRoy Found on PostSecret.

It’s Never Too Late

“I didn’t go to college until I was fifty. I was working as a custodian and it just got tiresome. You could find me in the exact same place, at the exact same time, every single day. Clean the halls, clean the classrooms, clean the bathroom. I wasn’t feeling fulfilled. I started going to college classes on the nights and weekends. It was difficult because I was always tired. There’d be times when I didn’t want to do an assignment or I didn’t want to go to school because it was raining. But my professors kept telling me: ‘You’re not looking for a job anymore. You’re looking for a career.’ I graduated five years ago with my BA. Then 2.5 years later I got my Masters. Now I’m a parent coordinator at the same school where I worked as a custodian. I get to counsel parents about how their children can get the most out of school. My confidence has doubled. I used to be unsure about speaking up, because I didn’t feel qualified to offer my opinion, but now I’ll stop parents on the street-- just to make sure that their child is on the right track. Some people in my position get stressed when they’re given a heavy workload, like: ‘Why do I have to do this?’ I always think: ‘I get to do this.’ I’ve been working in the Department of Education for thirty years, so I could retire next year with benefits. But I don’t want to. Because I love my job. Every day is different.

I was working as a school safety officer when I met her. She was a teacher. But she kept working her way up. She became a principal. She went to work in the central office. She got her doctorate. Eventually she became the highest-ranking black woman in New York education. She was always taking that next step. I was working as a custodian when we got married. She was making five times more than me. It bothered me at first. It took some counseling to convince me that she hadn’t ‘settled’ for me. I’d been raised on the idea that the man was supposed to provide. But eventually I came around to the idea that money wasn’t the only way to provide. I could support her by doing chores, or taking the kids to school, or picking her up from the airport. Her work benefited all of us, so I could help provide by making her job easier. And eventually she inspired me to want more for myself. She’s the one that convinced me to go back to college.”

Turmeric by WebMD

Turmeric is a plant. You probably know turmeric as the main spice in curry. It has a warm, bitter taste and is frequently used to flavor or color curry powders, mustards, butters, and cheeses. But the root of turmeric is also used widely to make medicine. Turmeric is used for arthritis, heartburn (dyspepsia), stomach pain, diarrhea, intestinal gas, stomach bloating, loss of appetite, jaundice, liver problems and gallbladder disorders. It is also used for headaches, bronchitis, colds, lung infections, fibromyalgia, leprosy, fever, menstrual problems, and cancer. Other uses include depression, Alzheimer’s disease, water retention, worms, and kidney problems. Some people apply turmeric to the skin for pain, ringworm, bruising, leech bites, eyeinfections, inflammatory skin conditions, soreness inside of the mouth, and infected wounds. In food and manufacturing, the essential oil of turmeric is used in perfumes, and its resin is used as a flavor and color component in foods. Don’t confuse turmeric with Javanese turmeric root (Curcuma zedoaria).

How does it work?

The chemicals in turmeric might decrease swelling (inflammation).

The following doses have been studied in scientific research: BY MOUTH: For upset stomach (dyspepsia): 500 mg of turmeric four times daily. For osteoarthritis: 500 mg twice daily of a specific turmeric extract (Meriva, Indena); 500 mg four times daily of a non-commercial product has also been used. For rheumatoid arthritis (RA): 500mg twice daily of a specific formulation of the turmeric constituent, curcumin (BCM-95®, Arjuna Natural Extracts, India), has been used.
