PERSPECTIVE IS EVERYTHING

YAAY!!!! HI THERE! How are you FEELing? ALIVE? RESILIENT? HAPPIER? GRATEFUL? DETERMINED? YES! This BEAUTIFUL NEW YEAR can be a life changer if you THINK it is. Let's support our joy. Let's support our many ways of being present and aware of the great blessings working in our favor. Every great day requires possibilities, faith and action at some point. Live in your day, LOVE in your day and appreciate the Love as it returns to you. 

Everyone has a purpose. YES!!! :) The world needs you. YOU need to get to a thought, of knowing this at all times. Everyone can has a perspective and your perspective NEEDS you to feel great. If you need a view, BUILD a view. Build a view that conveys your ideas and your growth. Build a view that supports your happiness and your stance as a giver, with the gift you possess. LIVE BRAVE! LOVE BRAVE! THINK for yourself. FEEL for yourself and GO! 

Your perspective and how you see your circumstances will have an impact of your daily methods to experience your joy. Our challenges can make us champions. The struggles are to be gotten through - not to be dwelled on forever and ever and ever...and ever. Our goals are our blessings. I BELIEVE our blessings have to be appreciated and more blessings will stick around longer.  YOU BUILD your beliefs. So believe something good for your life. Let's let our outlook guide us to the goodness that wants to be found. Nothing is promised but anything is truly possible. Let your perspective be based in faith, actions taken and results that graciously lead you to continue your journey. You can do it! You ARE doing it!

BELIEVE, BELIEVE AND BELIEVE AGAIN!! A lot of  people believe in you - and YOU should be one of them because you matter. YAAY! Congratulations! Whatever you are working is going to work!

Carrot Cheesecake

Recipe courtesy of Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa)
 FoodTv

Ingredients
Carrot Cake:
1/2 cup pecan halves, plus more, chopped, for garnish
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Kosher salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups shredded carrot (2 to 3 medium carrots)

Cheesecake:
Three 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup sour cream
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Sour Cream Topping:
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons sour cream
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt

Directions:
For the carrot cake: Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spread 1/2 cup of the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden and toasted, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool, and then finely chop.

Combine the pecans, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the oil, sugar and eggs in a separate bowl. Stir the carrots into the egg mixture. Fold the carrot-egg mixture into the flour mixture until just combined. Pour into an ungreased 9-inch springform cake pan and tap it on the counter to even out the batter. Bake until the cake bounces back when pressed and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely. The cake can be made a day ahead and stored in the pan.

For the cheesecake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Beat the cream cheese, sour cream and granulated sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the flour, lemon zest and juice and vanilla, about 1 minute.

Pour the cheesecake mixture over the carrot cake. Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with a large piece of foil. Put in a roasting pan or a large baking dish and fill halfway up the sides of the cake pan with water. Bake until the cheesecake is pale yellow and just jiggles slightly in the center, about 1 hour. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest in the hot oven for 30 minutes. Remove, run a sharp knife around the edge and let cool completely on a rack. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.

For the sour cream topping: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, sour cream, vanilla and salt. Spread on top of the cheesecake; garnish with chopped pecans. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Cut into slices and serve.

SUPER RICH BODY BUTTER by YES TO CARROTTS

(AVAILABLE AT WALGREENS)

...is such a cute way to FEEL good from the outside in. It's (ingredients of but not limited to) organic carrots, avocado oil, jojoba oil and shea butter gathering, did a awesome job of soothing my skin. The scent is great. I think the essential oil of orange was a fun additive.  Using items is totally up to you and your own discretion. If you try it, let us know about it.
