Dreamfields pastas are a certainly a dream come true for many who dislike the soy-based pastas so often marketed to low-carb dieters. While there are also many vegetables suitable for using in place of pasta, the texture can sometimes be a disappointment.

With Dreamfields you can have your pasta and eat it too. Below is a recipe shared with us courtesy of the Dreamfields company.

This video isn’t exactly lc related – but sure says a whole lot about life, working towards goals, and in the end, what’s most important.

Atlanta based photographer Zach Arias made this video for Scott Kelby’s website. For those who aren’t familiar with photography circles, Scott in an amazing teacher and photographer. And in all honestly, so is Zach.

The reason I felt so compelled to share this video is because I know we ALL go through these phases – whether it be photography, writing, weight loss… or just getting through each day. This video has single-handedly brought some sanity back into my life. It’s helped me see so much. I hope it’s as helpful for you.
