I have always loved the writing of DON MIGUEL RUIZ today I found a link to a short video- It is a great reminder today to take full control of my reality- and master my attention on what matters-
From The Eyes of Truth… “THE HIGHEST POINT OF YOUR JOURNEY back to you is the moment when you finally see yourself through the eyes of truth. If you can see your authentic self, you will love what you see. You see the magnificence of your presence; you see how wonderful and beautiful you are. You see the perfection in you, and this breaks any doubt that anyone else ever put in your head. You see that you are light, that you are life, and when you accept your own divinity, you become a better reflection of life.”
Here is the full blog post From Heal your life and his video
“The truth leads me to my authenticity, to happiness, to a life that is very easy.”

This is from a post I received in my inbox this morning from Peaceful Daily
- It is a good focusing reminder about the reality of life daily-
| Bronnie Ware worked for a long time in palliative care.
She took care of those who were sent home to die. The common life regrets she observed were…
1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I did not work so hard.
3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
I hope this reminds everyone our purpose in this life is to be happy. Maybe you could leave work early today? Call up an old friend. Take that risk you have been waiting to take…

So I pretty much followed the tutorial with a few modifications. I designed my own Polaroids in Photoshop using a real Polaroid frame I scanned in (you can download below). I scaled my Polas down to about 0.8″ wide and then printed on photo paper. Using rubber cement, I mounted my printed sheet to chipboard (the back of an old spiral-bound sketch book worked just fine for me) and sort of laminated my mini photos by laying pieces of clear masking tape on top. The paper glaze didn’t work for this project as it was causing the ink to run and bleed.
Once trimmed out, instead of painting the edges white, I used a white opaque marker from Martha Stewart’s craft line, and colored in the edges.
After attaching the magnet pieces to the back, I had myself a new set of magnets

I have tested this recipe with both gluten-free and regular ingredients and I have to say we really enjoyed each version. I was actually surprised that the cheese sauce for the gluten free version turned out just as thick and creamy as the original. The small bite size cakes make perfect appetizers and the crispy cereal crust push these over the edge – so delicious!
