I LOVE BLACK EYED PEAS...NOT

I'm talking about the FOOD that is black eyed peas not the group with the fabulous Fergalicious Fergie!

My dad tells me that if you eat black eyed peas on New Years Day it will be a good year.
Check out the link above.  I think I missed it last year for some reason and we all know how my 2009 turned out.

The article also mentions the eating of cabbage as well.  My dad has it all covered.  They are eating black eyed peas, cabbage, polish sausage and God only knows whatever else.  Some say that greens are good as well.  I eat greens (for the iron in them) every week.  I was anemic earlier this year from the Doxil Chemo I was doing.  It interacted with some medication I was taking.  This cycle I am doing better.  I am enjoying some time off to heal myself.

Today I slept in, watched the Tournament of Roses Parade and then I hiked up Laurel Canyon park.

I am feeling such FREEDOM already today, this being the first day of 2010.  Freedom is my word for this past 16 weeks of SPIRITUAL BOOTCAMP, 16 Weeks To Mental Muscle.  It has been an amazing journey so far.

Now it's time to watch the movie 2010 and laugh at it. 
And to also see how close they were in their vision of what the future would hold for us today.
But I don't remember them eating black eyed peas in space!
