Recently Sarah broke up with her boyfriend, Tom. Tom was crushed, hurt and very sad; however he said, "Sarah, whatever makes you happy".
This is so very, very true. Our men will do anything and everything to make us happy. They breath to make us happy. They will work, sweat and tear to see us smile. They will fight to the end to set the moon and stars at our feet. If there is a time during the day when I'm quiet or withdrawn, my husband will ask many times "are you 'ok'?" He's asking this to make sure I'm happy. Men will do everything in their power to bring happiness and joy to the woman they love. Have you ever heard the term "happy wife, happy life"? Well, it's very true. When you are happy and cheerful and thankful and peaceful, well rested and loving; your husband will feel proud and accomplished. Your happiness is a direct reflection on how well he takes care of you, how he protects and nourishes you. Your happiness is the the gauge that tells him how well he's doing as he guards, protects and is responsible for the love in your marriage. So, what you can you do to stay happy and make you husbands day at the same time? 1. Stay thankful! Be thankful for what you have and where you are in life with your husband. There's nothing worse for you, your husband or your family than trying to "keep up with the Jones's" . Keeping up with the Jones's is trouble. 2. Tell/show your husband that he is the source of your happiness. Tell him that he makes you happy. Smile at him. Hug him. Thank him for the little and big things that he does for you everyday. Giggle with excitement and thank him with sincere gratitude when he takes you out to dinner or out for ice cream. Make a fuss and thank him with joy when he brings you home a bottle of wine, flowers or a bag of groceries. The point here is to acknowledge your man and be very happy as much as you can around him; always letting him know that he makes you happy. Your happiness is the air he breathes, it is the blood that runs through him and keeps him living. My family is very honest when it comes to recipe development.

Are you easily irritable, angry or overheated during your period?
A few months ago my irritability got really out of hand. After apologizing to my family for my out burst I asked my husband if he thought there was something wrong with me. My husband answered me by saying, "my love, you are wonderful 25 days of the month." That's when I knew I needed some support. Here's what I learned: According to Heather Baines, Ayurved Vaidya Bhishakgwara, E-R YT at Roots of Wellness, during that time of the month our pitta dosha dominates. Pitta dosha is the subtle energy that controls metabolism an can cause us to overheat, become, angry or irritable. According to The Yoga of Herbs by Vasant Lad and David Frawley,
According to the Ayurvedic perspective, kheer is light and nourishing dessert. It has a cooling effect on the body which can be helpful during that time of the month. Just prior, during and after your period (for one week per month) enjoy this wonderful Ayurvedic treat to nourish your body. Here's what you'll need: 8 cups of milk 3/4 cup uncooked red rice (or long-grain basmati) 1/8 cup skinless almonds (soaked, slivered or crushed) 1/4 cup raisins soaked 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom seed 2 saffron threads 1/4 cup raw sugar or honey (or to taste) Here's what to do: 1. Rinse the rice and combine it with the milk in a medium pot. Slowly bring to a low boil, stirring so the milk does not scorch. After about 30-45 minutes the rice should be done - the grains should be plump and almost falling apart. 2. Add the nuts and raisins, cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, then turn off the heat. 3. Take a spoon full of hot milk from the rice dish and pour it over 2 treads of saffron in a shallow dish. After a few moment you should be able to grind the saffron into a paste with the back of a metal spoon. Stir the saffron paste, cardamom and sugar into the kheer and let it rest, covered, until it reaches room temperature. Then cool in the refrigerator until it is time to serve. Variations: Add stewed apricots or apples in place of the raisins. Substitute honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar. Add a drop of rose water. garnish with 1/4 cup crushed pistachio nuts. I know this sounds like a lot of work, but during menses we should allow ourselves to SLOW DOWN and rest. Honor your sleep schedule, get to bed before 10pm and take naps or rest throughout the day.
