something to ponder: It is not about the TIME; it is the moment that matters.
Enjoy the moment, love Nadine.

Working on my speech and getting ready to speak at the Dept of justice in Washington DC on Wednesday. I am so honored and really excited but a little nervous. Thanks Henry and Stacey for your help and talking it through, you're the best friends on the planet.

I am so excited today it was great being in Orlando and wonderful to be back at home. I do not share my Warm Spirit to Soul purpose story often but had the opportunity to talk about it today. I had the pleasure of being interviewed on The Heart of a Woman radio talk show by Lorraine Harrell. Would love for you to listen to it.
Much love and have a great day!

What a week!!!!!!!!!!

This has been a trying week. I believe that what I have come to know as one of my strengths which is resilience has really been put to the test. I seem to have had to dig down deep for patience in the midst of everything. I realize that faith, patience, forward focus and resilience go hand in hand.
Praying and hoping for a good weekend,
Nadine

Mango- Curry braised short ribs.

 This evening I just cooked the most amazing meal. It was one of my Nadine's intuitive recipes. I made braised short ribs with a medley of summer vegetables in curry/mango sauce. 

Here is the recipe:

3 pounds beef short ribs. Wash and season them with salt, pepper, garlic and marinate them with a green seasoning sauce.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Braise the ribs in a hot frying pan with oil until brown on both sides. About 2 minutes per side.

Cut up an egg plant, carrots, turnip, zucchini and place them on the bottom of a deep baking pan.  

Once all of the ribs have been braised add them to the pan and place them on top of the vegetables.

Saute a large onion, 2 large tomatoes, fresh garlic and any other vegetables you wish in the drippings from the fry pan. For a little extra spice and tablespoon of curry powder to this mixture, so the curry cooks.

Add 1/2 bottle of Stonewall kitchen Curry Mango grilling sauce to this mixture as well, simmer for 5 minutes and then pour this mixture over the ribs.

Cover the baking pan with foil and bake in the over for 2 hours or until the short ribs are fork tender.

Serve with fried plantains, thickly sliced tomatoes in a balsamic vinegrette and rich, fruity bold red wine.

bon appetite!!!!!

I had the honor of attending the first Africa Fashion Week in New York last weekend. It was incredible!!! The designers that were showcased were from all over the African diaspora and the designs were simply beautiful. The greatest high was that our mineral makeup and hair care were the sponsors of the event and it was a thrill to see the models walking down the runway with our makeup on their faces and their bodies glowing with our butters. It was a wonderful experience. Check out a few of our pictures on this link:
