Papagni Wine Choice: Muscat or Muscat Canelli 

 

The Muscat has a fresh floral of aromas with a just picked grapefruit appeal. The sweetness and the fresh fruit flavors such as apricot with smooth honey make it a balanced wine which pairs nicely with an after-dinner dessert of Almond Biscotti.  

 

The Muscat Canelli is a sweet wine which can be considered dessert in and of itself. However, it would go nicely with a biscotti or two.

Feel The Fear and Do It Anyways, by, Gina Meyers

 


There is one thing for sure that I have learned from the book, Bulletproof and it is this.


We will always have fear in our lives, it is a constant companion until the day we die. There are tons of self-help books out there that say we can overcome fear, that we can be fearless in a sense, but of the negative emotions being scared or afraid isn't one we can easily control as a matter of fact, we can only maneuver that one.


So, here are five steps to conquering fear.


1) Accept it, fear never goes away.

2) Identify It.

3) Feel It.

4) Face It.

5) Practice It.
