Thursday Things 3.26.15

Thursday Things 3.26.15

On Friday spring greeted me with lovely morning blue skies. Since then, not so much. Cold, dreary, windy, snow, ugh. But it is OK. It’s not 0 degrees and there is 60’s and sun within the 10-day forecast. Spring is approaching soon and will be here to stay. I can feel it.

It makes me happy, just like these things:

  • Pavlovas and meringues are awesome spring desserts. I want to make one. Any of these would be fantastic options: pavlovas with lemon coconut cream, berry meringue dessert, cinnamon hazelnut pavlova with coconut cream, and lemon meringue pie ice cream sandwiches. Easter dessert, perhaps?
  • This article about anaerobic training is fascinating. I love reading stuff like this. It always motivates me to work hard.
  • These triangle cement airplant holders are so adorable. I am loving the cement and bright colors.
  • You would think I would have a decent green thumb being the offspring of farmers, but I don’t. I need to look into these 10 easy indoor plants, because we could all use some greenery in our living spaces!
  • Part of the reason of why I love living in downtown Minneapolis, is so I don’t need to park in downtown Minneapolis (I just walk!), but if you do, you’ll probably love this meter map!

In other news, I was super excited to see my blueberry mint brownies posted with some dairy-free recipes on Daiya Foods and my honey cinnamon muffins posted with some Easter recipes on Just Us Four. Check out the other recipes in the roundups – they all sound delicious!

Happy Thursday! xojd

My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an My open heart surgery was 7 years ago and it’s an anniversary I will never not celebrate. 

I carried a lot of trauma with me for a long time. I was nervous for every hike, every workout, religiously checking my heart rate, wondering if this would be the time my heart fails me again. Very dramatic, I know. But I kept at it, doing these things I love to do, working through the fear. Now the intrusive thoughts are few and far between. 

So here I am 7 years later, a stronger person both physically and mentally, hanging out at the top of a mountain with my babies after a nice, challenging hike.  It’s all I really want. 

I’m so grateful for this life and for the people who continue to support me ❤️
