“ I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you’ll make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind. Neil Gaiman (via thestreetsaremadeofgold)

RAW RAINBOW WRAPS w/ Mango Dressing 

Prep Time: Approximately 15 minutes

Ingredients:

Wrap:

  • Large collard leaves
  • Red bell pepper, sliced
  • Carrots, julienned
  • Yellow and green zucchini squash, julienned
  • Purple Cabbage, chopped

Mango Dipping Sauce:

  • 1 Ripe mango, peeled and chopped
  • 1 Carton cherry tomatoes, about 2 cups
  • 1/2 red bell pepper
  • 1 Handful of fresh cilantro

Directions:

1. Slice, peel, julienne, and chop all of the wrap fillings.

2. Using a sharp knife, remove all or most of the collard green stems. This allows for more flexibility when it comes time to wrap.

3. Lay out the fillings across the collard leaf and roll it up as you tuck in the sides of the leaf.

oddbot: adeana: thunderpopcola: This is how you lose her.  You lose her when you forget to remember the little things that mean the world to her: the sincerity in a stranger’s voice during a trip to the grocery, the delight of finding something lost or forgotten like a sticker from when she was five, the selflessness of a child giving a part of his meal to another, the scent of new books in the store, the surprise short but honest notes she tucks in her journal and others you could only see if you look closely. You must remember when she forgets.  You lose her when you don’t notice that she notices everything about you: your use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you’re about to ask a question but you think anything you’re about to say to her would be silly, your mindless humming when it is too quiet, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper, your muted laughter when you are trying to be polite, and more and more of what you are, which you don’t even know about yourself, because she pays attention. She remembers when you forget.  You lose her for every second you make her feel less and less of the  beauty that she is. When you make her feel that she is replaceable. She wants to feel cherished. When you make her feel that you are fleeting. She wants you to stay. When you make her feel inadequate. She wants to know that she is enough and she does not need to change for you, nor for anyone else because she is she and she is beautiful, kind and good. You must learn her.  You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to.  You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept. And, this is how you keep her.  Perfect. goes both ways.

My grandpa has Alzheimer’s so he has no idea who my grandma is but everyday for the last three or four months he brings her in flowers from their garden and asks her to run away with him and be his wife and everyday she says she already is and everyday the smile my grandpa gets on his face is the most beautiful heartfelt thing I have ever seen.

That’s sooooooo cute

“ Compassion is that which makes the heart of the good move at the pain of others. It crushes and destroys the pain of others; thus, it is called compassion. It is called compassion because it shelters and embraces the distressed. Buddha (via yogachocolatelove)
