Yesterday I sat down to do my billing and got a pleasant surprise: I’d forgotten that I began the billing last week, as soon as I sent the February mag to the printer.\u00a0 I didn’t want to send bills out that early, because I always want the advertisers to have the current issue in their hands before they get a bill for the next issue.\u00a0 So, seeing that my job was half done – I was stoked!\u00a0 Simply by forgetting I’d begun the billing earlier, I felt like someone else did half the job for me. <\/p>\n

Then I noticed I was running out of the pastel paper I print my invoices out on.\u00a0 I hoped I had enough for this month’s billing.\u00a0 As I was putting a new delivery of envelopes and labels away in the supply closet, I noticed an unopened ream of baby blue paper, as well as one of yellow and one of orange.\u00a0 I’d forgotten I had them, so it was as though the Universe just sneaked them into the closet to delight me.\u00a0 I love it when I can intuitively help myself like that.<\/p>\n

Like yesterday, after my bout Wednesday with a tummy bug, I wasn’t eager to ingest anything yet, although I had a hard boiled egg at 6:30am.\u00a0 About mid afternoon I began thinking of making a soup, a light kind of bland soup just to give me some fuel while my tum recupes.\u00a0 I opened the refrigerator to find some asparagus I’d bought earlier this week.\u00a0 I forgot it was in there.\u00a0 I wrote about The Healing Power of Asparagus<\/a> just earlier this week.\u00a0 I suddenly craved an asparagus soup.\u00a0 Hmmm, more intuition?<\/p>\n

So I got out my one pint saucepan and sauteed half a yellow onion, 2 small carrots and one celery stalk in Pam Spray with olive oil.\u00a0 I filled the pot with water and added 2 bay leaves.\u00a0 25 minutes later, I added a handful of chopped asparagus and cooked another 25 minutes. I added just 1\/2 tsp sea salt and a shake of pepper and basil to keep it lightly spiced.\u00a0 I nibbled on this soup all evening and felt rejuvenated by it.<\/p>\n

Note to self: Next time, remove the bay leaves before pureeing the soup.<\/p>\n
