“Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts; it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.”
–Anthony Bourdain

How to end this last week of blogging for June?
Holy Spirit came forth with three words:
Big Bang Destinations!
So, without any words, bear with me each day with an extravagant destination image, hoping to stir up your wanderlust for traveling to exotic places.
Today’s image is The Great Blue Hole in Belize.

Abundance is …How precious is God’s unfailing Love!
“One of the hardest lessons we have to learn in this life, and one that many persons never learn, is to see the divine, the celestial, the pure, in the common, the near at hand — to see that heaven lies about us here in this world.”
–John Burroughs
Abundance is … a Vidalia onion pie for lunch!
“Happiness is … neither within us only, or without us; it is the union of ourselves with God.”
–Blaise Pascal
Why not wrap up this last week of June with a big bang?
After tasting a sweet watermelon, I’m gearing up for making refreshing summer drinks…like these below…almost as good as embarking on a tropical vacation.
WATERMELON LIME OR LEMON SLUSH
In a blender, puree 2 cups watermelon pieces, zest of lime or lemon, 1/4 cup sugar, 4 oz. aloe vera juice. 2 cups ice and 1 cup water.
Bonus – a daily dose of watermelon will flush bloating.

BLUEBERRY BLAST SMOOTHIE
In a blender combine 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries, 2 bananas, 4 oz. aloe vera juice, 1 tbs. honey and 2 cups cold water.
Bonus – Antioxidants in berries will improve brain focus.

CUCUMBER MOJITO MOCK-TAIL
Cook 1/2 cup mint leaves in 1/4 cup sugar and water, cool and puree in blender. Add to this 1 sliced cucumber, 1/2 cup lime flavored sparkling water and 4 oz. aloe vera juice. Blend all until smooth.
Bonus – Cucumber erases stress in 20 minutes.
The key ingredient to these summer drinks is aloe vera juice; so beneficial against heartburn and achy joints that will make you feel young again. Hope you will enjoy these cool tips.
