Temptation Tuesday #3 - 2025 IMMI RAMEN - a delicious alternative for ramen lovers!

I get not everybody likes Ramen noodles. In fact, I haven't eaten them in decades but it's not because I don't like them - it's because I DO like them but the nutritional value left with my youth in the late 90's. The sodium levels were just something I chose not to include in my adult diet. Now that I have children who can purchase their own groceries (I said CAN, as in they have the ability from time to time), they come home with forbidden foods like: Doritos, energy drinks, box mac n cheese, nutella, and top ramen. I'll be honest - when I smell that delicious salty smell of artificial chicken it brings me back to my Lakeland College dorm room at 3am. I can hear the click click click of the word processor and the whir of the microwave as my delicious breakfast was being made.

Thanks for that moment...

Here I am, nearly 50, and I honestly miss those carefree years. Well, to my sweet surprise, there's now a thing called IMMI and they taut themselves as a delicious way to lose weight - I don't even care about that - I just see them as a healthy alternative to my ramen craving. I bought a variety pack and to my surprise they are absolutely delicious! Now, I just need a special bowl to eat them with - maybe strawberry shortcake? Pretty soon, all of my adolescent dreams will have come true! 

If you were a ramen lover in your previous life and you want to integrate a healthy version of these delicious noodles into your grown up diet, stop by and check out IMMI: https://immieats.com/

Her debut novel, It Was Never About Me, Was It? is still a work in progress and shall be fully worthy sometime in 2025. She has written for WOW!

The world may never know her name, but she prays that because of her, someone may smile a little brighter. She prides herself on doing nice things - yes, even for strangers! 

May your paths be abundantly filled with lemons, sugar, sunshine, and may you always remember the world is a better place with you in it and it's always a great time for instant ramen!

You Can Speak Your Mind, But Not On My Time?

Today's post title is inspired by the fabulous song that is likely going through your head right now "I still belong, don't get me wrong, you can speak your mind but not on my time...you can live your life, but this is my life..."etc... The topic however is inspired by a dear friend who recently said to me "why is it so hard for people to be real and have a conversation about things they disagree with?" I've been thinking about that queestion and the conversation that it inspired - what she was really talking about is feedback. Why is it so difficult to tell someone that you'd like them to do something differently? We beat around the bush, and sometimes never say what's on our mind. Isn't this really the rooot cause of relationship problems? The cause of dating mis-haps, family arguements, and the underlying issue that often results in anger and fighting? Before you answer, let me toss out some scenarios: 1) You're dating someone ...

Natural Remedies for Depression ?

Have you had those moments when you weren't feeling quite like yourself? Those negative thoughts were creeping in? clouding your judgment? making every day chores seem like amazing feats of heroism? If you've never felt like that - good for you! I on the other hand struggle with life's ups and downs. From depression during my divorce to post-partum depression, etc... I tend to be a very happy and optimistic person, but the flip side of that coin brings those days when staying in bed is more alluring than hopping in the shower and going through the motions of the day. There are some fabulous medications on the market today, and seeking the help of a healthcare professional is always a great idea. Sometimes I'm not feeling depressed, but I fear I'm headed there. I don't particularly care for some of the side effects of medications I have been on in the past, and a natural remedy can sometimes give me just the kick in the pants that I need to 'get happy...
