Happy All Saints Day!
Bishop Mike has called us “saints in the making” who will join the saints someday to whom we pray.
Currently, I’m in a Saint Benedict Novena, initiated by my Bestie Evie (who claims him as her patron after her own healing).
Since he is the Patron Saint for Students, I’ve sought his intercession as I enter my round(s) of full faculty dissertation defense …
During my committee defense period, I went through these Novenas:
Who are your favorite saints? Mine include:
Others who I admire are, but aren’t limited to:
Saints are special, and I like this analogy that Evie introduced to me:
They are our defense attorneys who advocate for us as we enter the stand at the gates of Heaven for GOD to judge our fate.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us.”
~ Hebrews 12:1 [pointed out by Maryknoll]

While trick-or-treaters may be house-hopping and candy-popping this weekend, I’ll continue consuming my healthy supplements on the ☼daily!
Ginkgo Biloba: to promote mental focus
Centrum VitaMints®: to aquire essential nutrients in a tasty way
- I’ve come a long way since my childhood Flinstones chewables ~ which I doubt are the best bet for my teeth with the acidity
- I’m still not a fan of swallowing tablets without having water and food in handy
- Therefore, I’m all about double-duty of fulfilling my ☼daily☼ needs while freshening my breath!
Of course, I don’t skimp on the actual food that I need to fuel my brain and body ~ which I’m actually including in an analogy between my marathon and my main statistical method (multiple regression) for my doc research!
Study Mode Trail Mix: Since almonds helped my bod during my 26.2-mi. course and my mind through my dissertation process, they were the main feature of this snack combo for the crunch + the Pumpkin Spice flavor along with the pumpkin cookies & candy, as well as more chocolate to cover these Brookside blueberries that also benefit the memory!
Speaking of my race, although I haven’t run as many long distances in awhile, I’ve fit in mini drills to keep my energy levels high while I’ve been drained from my dissertation, a.k.a., my doc docs …
During my dedicated eating time (yes, I must make a meal break away from my computer, according to my Bestie Evie‘s birthday advice), I actually HIIT before I sit!
While I wait for my chow to cook ~ simmering in the crock pot, boiling on the stove, or nooking in the oven/microwave/toaster ~ I do the following quick set(s), to induce more calorie-burning even after I’m done exercising:
Standing ♥Cardio♥
Floor/Mat/Carpet Core
More ♥Cardio♥
- Dance ’til your ♥heart’s ♪content♫ ~ or your grub is ready
Stretch
Relieve those muscles after sitting at the computer desk and before sitting down to eat

T is for …
How do you use your †ime, †reasure (i.e., tithing) and †alen† in serving GOD?
We all have unique ways that GOD has called us to serve Him and His people.
I also can continue glorifying GOD as I finish and use my doctoral degree!
Father Bob‘s most recent ✌PTL✌ in his latest greeting to me stands for:
¡Feliz Día de los Santos y Día de los Muertos!

* Dirk’s Mavs Mix
* Monta Basketball in Dallas
Plus, we’re about to launch the Pretty Fit App site full blast, so please check out my Pretty Fit Team bio. You can install the Pretty Fit app from iTunes.
Last, but not least, here are my Halloween photos, starring:
* Asia as Cookie Monster, Annie as Elmo
* Double-A Team as Black Cat & Pumpkin
* Jade & Dax as Black Cat & Pumpkin
* Pumpkin as Dallas Cowboys Jack O’Lantern (star eyes and nose, football mouth plus accessories – ball cap, headband, earrings, paraband for teeth)
* Yours Truly as Tonto with Arrowhead my Crow (won the USPFO Halloween 2013 Ladies’ Costume Contest – ironically, dressed as a man) ~ Kemosabe, baby!
Shoutout: Happy Retirement to my Mom!
Now back to cracking and cranking out my dissertation…
2:22 ~ make a wish!!!
