Small Steps with some Spice

I snapped this photo while outside running the most boring errand of the week, no not cleaning the bathroom...the dreaded dry cleaner run!




At first, I saw all the beautiful pumpkins, then it suddenly went from a boring walk doing errands to new blog post idea.  I shot the cute little pumpkin steps, and as I looked at the photo, I kept staring at the steps.  It got me thinking about taking small steps...


Sometimes it's easy to stay cozy and safe in old surroundings, or places and jobs that are easy.  However,  it's when we take small steps outside of our comfort zone is when life begins to get interesting.  This new place can lead us to our true purpose and passion, and bring us great joy. 

 Everyday we take lots of steps, our feet move us in many directions.  Our energy that we carry into every situation is very important.  Just as in life, we make steps forward (and sometimes backwards) on our path towards a better life. 



 Whether your path is leading you towards better health, a new job, a new career or just a better life in general,  it's worth it to take small steps first in that direction.  Go ahead...put one foot out there and see what happens.  Send that message out in the universe. 






My path is always moving me towards healthy, delicious food, and sharing that with others.  I love talking and reading about health, wellness, and great tasting, healthy food.  Being in my kitchen, testing out recipes brings me such joy.  I hope you are finding what brings you joy in your life. 


Lately, I've been interested in adding more spices to my cooking.  Over the weekend, we took a road trip to the Savory Spice Shop, in Westfield, New Jersey.  The place smelled amazing, as soon as you stepped in the door. 


Not only did they have everything organized really well, but they had recipe cards next to the spices, so you could be inspired right away to try something new.  Remember small steps...






I picked up a Chai Spice packet that had a great recipe for a Sweet Potato Bisque Soup.  I'm hoping to try it out soon.  Stay tuned for the recipe and review. 


Our little day trip got Joe and I thinking about other road trips we could take to change things up, see new places, and try new restaurants in our local area.  Again small steps in a new direction feels good.  Joe even suggested that I blog about it...I like when he's thinking about my blog! 
  
What steps have you taken lately? Are you ready to try something new? Don't be shy...just go for it.  If you want something to happen in your life, you need to do it yourself. 

 Go ahead add some serious spice into your steps...
I'd love to hear what you're up to these days.
