Now Is the Time To Make Your Dreams Come True As Ashley and Chris reminded us on the cover, there’s only one person who can make your dreams come true: you. People can help and support you, but ultimately, taking that next step is up to you. You don’t know how good it can be until you make the move! Here are a few tools that can guide you in this process. Vision Boards A vision board serves as a daily visual reminder of your innermost dreams and goals. Your vision board will contain images and words that connect you to your objectives. To create one, give yourself a couple hours of quiet, uninterrupted time. Visualize three core desires and dreams. Find a sturdy piece of paper, some publications that you don’t mind cutting up, and when you’re done visualizing, cut out and paste words and images that resonate with your dreams. Put your vision board where you’ll see it daily and repeat the visualization process every time you look at it. Inspiring Books The written word can be a powerful catalyst for motivating us toward our goals. It doesn’t just have to be your typical self-help genre, either. “The Alchemist,” by Paulo Coelho follows the journey of the protagonist as they visualize and manifest their deepest wishes. It’s an entertaining and easy-to-follow story, but it also holds many life lessons. TAKE A STEP TOWARD YOUR DREAMS
Mantras or Positive Affirmations Empower yourself with simple words or phrases that you repeat daily to reaffirm a belief or idea. Here are a few examples: “I deserve love and kindness; I am love. I am purpose. I was made with divine intention; Hold up your head! You were not made for failure — you were made for victory.” Stand in front of the mirror and repeat your mantra or affirmation to your reflection 5–10 times. This works best when done at the same time each day, such as first thing when you wake up or before you leave to work.
As 2019 comes to a close, let this be a time of directing yourself toward the life you want to live. Everything you want is at your fingertips.

Potato Latkes
ingredients
•
2 tsp kosher salt
•
2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed
•
1 tsp baking powder
•
1 large onion, peeled and cut into quarters
•
1/2 tsp black pepper
•
2 large eggs
•
Safflower or vegetable oil, for frying
•
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
1. Using either a food processor with a coarse grating disc or the coarse side of a box grater, grate potatoes and onion. (If using a food processor, halve or quarter potatoes.) Once grated, wrap in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth to wring out as much moisture as possible. 2. Transfer to a mixing bowl and mix in eggs, flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper. 3. Heat a heavy-bottomed pan containing 1/4-inch of oil over medium-high heat. Use a heaping tablespoon to drop batter into the hot pan, working in batches. Use a spatula or spoon to form them into discs. Fry about 5 minutes per side, until deeply browned. 4. Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack to drain, and serve alongside applesauce and sour cream.
