All the links: LINKTR.EE/BARBARAFAISONAre you steady? How do you handle routine? You know that everydayness of getting through life. The stuff like getting up, going to work or doing the daily activities we do, cooking, cleaning, keeping the house in order. I know, fun things right?By nature, I am routine averse. Lol. Simply put, routine is not my friend. Although there are things I do routinely, I don't particularly enjoy them. Yes, I cook, keep the house in order, the maintenance things required in life. Do I enjoy them? Not so much. They feel like obligations and requirements most of the time.Have you heard the expression?, Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water- after enlightenment, Chopped wood carry water? What that means to me is Being steady in the midst of the Everydayness or routineness of life.I feel extremely grateful for having my meditation practice. My meditation practice keeps me steady. Practicing breathing and meditation daily keeps me steady. This allows me to start my day from a place of spaciousness, openness, and readiness. The self-awareness I experience simply through my daily time in silence continues to help me expand and grow.As soon as I realize I am awake, I say thank you out loud. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The simple acknowledgment of being alive another day is a powerful way for me to acknowledge life.When people ask me, how do you meditate every day, I honestly have no answer other than how do I NOT meditate every day. Because I've done some type of meditative practice since the 90s, it is ingrained in the routine that comes with my daily life.Humans are creatures of habit. Think about it, when we rise, we likely brush our teeth, tend to our hygiene, meaning we shower, or at least wipe some important parts, lol, prior to dressing, we may have a cup of coffee or tea or a soda, or a glass of water, and then we begin more routines throughout the day.

Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp are opaque and the sauce has reduced a bit. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and cracked pepper to taste and remove the pan from the heat. Once the grits are thick and creamy, remove them from the heat and stir in cheese, creme fraiche and butter. Season the grits with more salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Serve shrimp and grits immediately by spooning grits, shrimp and sprinkling with parsley and a little spring onion then a generous amount of caviar on top.

California Man Allegedly Murdered Neighbors Over $1 Hot Dog Dispute at Nudist Ranch REDLANDS, Calif. — A 62-year-old man has been charged with two counts of murder after allegedly beating his neighbors to death and dismembering their bodies—an act prosecutors say was sparked by a perceived insult involving a hot dog. Michael Royce Sparks is accused of killing Daniel and Stephanie Menard, a longtime couple who lived near him at the Olive Dell Nudist Ranch in Redlands. The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office announced the charges Tuesday, which also include two special circumstance allegations for committing multiple murders. Sparks' arraignment is set for Wednesday. According to Detective Thomas Williams, Sparks confided to a fellow inmate that his deadly outburst began when Daniel Menard bought him a hot dog. Sparks reportedly believed the $1 snack was a slight against his worth, telling the inmate he felt it was a “jab” at him. “He said that's what set him off,” Williams testified during a Monday hearing. Sparks then allegedly went outside and struck Daniel in the head until “his head caved in.” When Stephanie Menard ran out screaming, Sparks reportedly attacked both victims with a rake, hoe, and hammer, according to the detective's account of Sparks' jailhouse confession. The Menards were reported missing on Sunday, August 25, after failing to show up for church. Their neighbor, Irene Ingkref, said the couple had lived at their property for decades and were last seen around 10 a.m. the day before. When investigators arrived, they found the Menards' vehicle down the road—unlocked, keys inside—and both of their cell phones and Mrs. Menard's purse left behind in the home. Their dog, Cuddles, remains missing. At first, authorities treated the case as a missing persons investigation. Over the next four days, police and volunteers scoured the rugged terrain surrounding the nudist community. But the case took a grim turn on August 29 when a former coworker and a relative in Minnesota reported receiving alarming texts from Sparks. Gale Heidelberg, a dispatcher at a diesel repair shop where Sparks once worked as a truck driver, testified that she reached out after seeing news coverage. She texted, “I am watching the news. Something going on where you live. Are you in town?” Sparks replied, “It's me. Committing suicide today. Take care. Bye.” When she pressed him for clarification, Sparks responded chillingly: “Chopped up my neighbors. Didn't know I had it in me. SNAPPED.” Redlands police quickly zeroed in on Sparks' trailer at Space 43. Detective Laurel Shearer testified that a foul odor was already emanating from the property. Officers tried to contact Sparks, who refused to come out. Redlands police ultimately used a tractor to dismantle the trailer. Inside, officers found Sparks hiding in a bunker with a long rifle. He attempted to take his own life, but the gun jammed. When asked where the Menards were and if they needed help, Sparks allegedly replied, “They're underneath the trailer… they don't need help,” before adding, “They're in pieces.” Authorities later confirmed they discovered human remains and additional evidence tied to the crime, though the coroner is still working to officially identify the bodies. During Tuesday's press conference, Redlands Police Chief Rachel Tolber emphasized the collaborative effort between law enforcement and the community in locating the missing couple and bringing the case forward. District Attorney Jason Anderson said his office is confident in pursuing the charges, stating, “You don't get a free murder. We believe Mr. Sparks is responsible for both.” If convicted on all charges, including the special circumstances, Sparks could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
