Happy Saturday! ...ummm... or Monday! Here is a quick snapshot of the Top Shelf items I obsessed over this week! (Ok...technically last week. Had a minor mishap and the automation for Saturday failed!) A favorite or new food or recipe crush, a book/quote/podcast, and last but not least, a song I cannot get out of my head. I am so excited to share them with you in the hope of bringing something new and inspiring into your day! |

| | Summer Snacky Dinners The school calendar may claim that Summer is coming to an end but the weather is holding its ground at hot and humid! Because of this, I have fallen into a bit of a routine (Ok... an obsession) the last few weeks of having Snacky Dinners. I love a good charcuterie board, finger food spread, or sandwich bar. What do I love even more? The leftovers. No stove or oven, no mixing, measuring, or grilling. No heating up the kitchen and minimal cleanup! This may sound overly simplistic. But as an adult it took me a bit of time to recognize the grownup Lunchable-like meal was a perfectly acceptable dinner. Proteins, calcium, fruit, greens, raw veggies. All paired with a glass of something cold and white...even bubbly, if I so choose. Whether I am stocked with leftovers or have shopped all the goodies for myself, there is always a reason to channel the kid in me for a finger food dinner. Taste of Home has some of my favorite charcuterie board ideas. Be sure to check them out. And don't forget the bubby! ~Cheers! | | |

| | How to Host a Viking Funeral I could have included 25 different passages from this book. I opted for this one today. "But strangely fears can also result from an underactive imagination. Our scared little lizard brains only imagine things right up to the point of disaster, but not a moment past it. What if you fall flat on your face? What if you're not good enough? What if everyone laughs at you? But they actually never take the time to imagine the answers to any of those questions. We never imagine the part where we dust ourselves off and keep going. We never imagine that we can very likely learn to be good enough. We never imagine the moment when everyone laughs at us and then we join in and laugh at ourselves too. So many of us have a fear of not being good enough, but we never stop to ask, 'So what?'" So what? What if your imagination visualizes past your fear? What if you have to get up, learn more, and try again? What if the fear lessons? What if every time you try, your light shines brighter? You are enough. You can be fearful and nervous and excited and leary AND do it anyway. Consider this your permission to ask "So what?" | | |

Honestly, this one needs little commentary. Everything we offer through Counter Talks is centered around 4 habits, and CELEBRATE is one of them. Celebrate yourself and your wins every chance you get. Trust me... When you do, they multiply. "Believe it, you're the queen, you wear the crown
Feel it, take it in, and take a bow
...
Give yourself some applause, you deserve it
Give yourself some respect 'cause you've earned it
Give yourself some love 'cause you're worth it, you're worth it. Yeah, hell yeah.
Let 'em know you know it, go and show you own it
You're bold, you're bad, you're strong
So give yourself some applause, applause, applause" "Applause" ~ Sophia Carson |
