Black eyed peas, rice and greens for New Year's Luck 🍀

“ According to legendary Southern food journalist and writer John Egerton in Southern Food: At Home, On the Road, In History, black-eyed peas are associated with a "mystical and mythical power to bring good luck"1 and have been a Southern staple for more than three centuries. As for collard greens, they're green like money and will ensure you a financially prosperous new year. And isn't that what we all want anyway?

Many Jewish traditions include eating black-eyed peas as a part of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.2 But the tradition of cooking black-eyed peas with rice, in particular, is African in origin. It spread throughout the South—especially in the Carolinas—in the form of pilaus or rice dishes simmered for a long time with chicken or shrimp. When black-eyed peas were added to the pilau, it became Hoppin' John.”

Today Is My 23rd Sobriety Anniversary

After waking up with a pounding headache and a horrible hangover, I made the decision to stop drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes at the same time. Life is so much clearer and stable being sober. I know that I made the best decision for my body and myself. I am so proud of my epic accomplishment!

A Giant Thank You For Your Kindness 🌷☀️💚🌈🙏🏼

Thank you all for your healing vibes, energies and prayers. Your support has been overwhelming and uplifting. My favorite part of reading your well wishes was reading the stories of your health traumas and recoveries. Your stories will help to carry me through on my journey of recovery so thank you, thank you, thank you!

The surgery was successful, at home recovering now. I didn’t have any panic attacks going into the OR. I didn’t wake up on the operating table while they were doing surgery. I didn’t have a stroke or major complications. I’m doing way better than I thought I would have been. Fingers crossed.

Love, Peace, Good Health CP ☁️☁️

Hi DU freinds. I made it through the surgery.

Recovery is hard. I'm doing what the doctors and nurses are telling me. I had a nazi nurse. Thank you for cares and prayers and healing energy. You're all awesome 💖
