Monday Sparks with Nellie

McGuffy’s who was hosting the Sparks is on hiatus, we are going to keep posting them anyway! She says “I truly do believe we are meant to be lights in this world. If we allow our light to shine, we can see where we are going. It is then that we can begin to truly see each other clearly. There is hope. Together, we can light up the entire world!”

Here is my Spark for this week!

Life is so very changeable. Most of us want things to stay the same but be “better”. In my time, mes expected everything to remain constant and to last forever. But mes has learned that nothing lasts forever. Nothing.

For the longest time, Mes refused to believe that change happen. Mes has since learned that change can happen quickly. Mes now understands things can and will be different from how they is now.

Acknowledging change is allowing it to happen when it unfolds instead of approaching change from a place of denial and resistance. When we can accept change, learn from it, and become all the better for experiencing it, change is no longer our enemy. It becomes our teacher.

Now excuse mes, Kozmo needs mes to help him with the changes here so he can embrace the antics of Marv and Ninja!

Mes been helping Mommy set up a blog post on her old blog today. She had NOT posted there for 2 whole years!!! Well, she made Fig Jam and mes figured she should post about it like she used to. Mes thinks that yous will likes it!
Click the bear to goes to Sxanuxa Speaks to reads about jam!

Now peoples always complains about Jam, they think there is too much sugar in it… Sugar does a whole bunch more than make your jam sweet. Its main function is to works with the pectin and fruit acids to MAKES the gel structure wes calls jam. Sugar acts as a preservative that helps maintain the beautiful color of the fruit and inhibits mold growth.

And yous knows, there really is not a whole lot of calories in a tablespoonful of jam (there is usually 50 calories) and a whole tablespoon will does 2 pieces of toast! With plain yogurt, it add less calories than the stuff they put in to make it fruity. And with homemade, yous knows there is no other junk in there! Which leads mes to this….
