The Shortcut to Progress is to listen with a humble mind
If you are stuck in your own ways, you will eventually become bogged down. Let’s remember to be humble, learning what we can for the knowledge, advice and suggestions of others.

How many of you have been so disappointed when buying store bought bone broth? I have been trying off and on now for a long time to satisfy my craving for a good ready made broth. What you see above is my breakfast … a bowl of steaming freshly made (overnight) oxtail soup.
Oxtails fresh from the butcher at the Asian supermarket near me
Fresh okra grown locally
fresh mushroom (big cafe ones)
slices of sweet onion/Spanish onion
cream corn (small can)(I prefer the known brands -thick creamy)
garden fresh baby potatoes (today it was red /yellow ) quartered
diced tomato, green pepper, red pepper *(Pizza topping from the fresh veggie shop near by)
seasoned with pink salt, minced and diced garlic and ginger.
The oxtail is such a rich meat, so delicious and tender, I did not add a lot of other spices I wanted the flavour of the beef.
The aroma as it simmered overnight was ..”heavenly” The taste this morning is “divine”
Don’t rush or allow yourself to get flustered
When you rush, it limits your ability to pay attention to detail, and often leads to careless mistakes. With a prayerful mind, take a deep breath and act calmly.

soup was made using my wok
HI. you got something for me today? These cutie pies have been visiting at P23, a friend who walks there daily got this picture of one of the little ones. I miss being out for my outings every day.. but with the moves, selling/renting etc. there has been no time.
Another journey begins.

Smile everyone.. be kind to one another…
Thanks Dan!
It is hot, it is humid, not a breeze to be had, it is the kind of day you want to conserve your energy. If possible it was the kind of day to stay inside and catch up on activities that will allow you to be comfortable .. I had visitors today, in both cases, they brought food…. I didn’t have to cook… it was wonderful…. I had made a soup… my Dad was very firm, when I found it hot, his remedy was a nice bowl of hot soup. That or on the odd occasion I was allowed a cup of tea. Being the eldest I was not allowed coffee, tea, sweets, etc. To this day I am grateful, I have never had a sweet tooth, or a desire to drink pop, soft drinks, or alcohol beverages. So, when I got in from getting gas and a few necessities, I made a chicken soup with pure bone broth, veggies, and beans. Old fashion remedy, but it worked, What have you been doing to cope with the heat we have had this summer
Start today with a fresh outlook
Even though people and situations may look the same, they are constantly changing. Start each day with a fresh mind.

Does anyone recognize this mask? What came to mind for me was a crow/raven – bird spirit? (West coast?)(totem pole)
You can only change yourself
Before you start telling people how they should do things. think of how you can be more flexible.

To do or not to do there is only one way.
Although we may have many choices in front of us, in the end we must all make a single decision. Once you have made up your mind, move forward without hesitation.

Yesterday came and went, it can not be recalled or relived. What was, was. So often I find myself with an idea … and I don’t write it down. “I’ll remember” I tell myself.. but I don’t. Oh I recall I had this brilliant idea, but what the idea was…. ah… well… let’s just say, it may or may not surface again.
Discover the joy of transforming yourself
When you realize how much you have changed for the better, it fills you with true happiness. Strive each day to improve yourself.
