Last week, I talked about the first trait of the successful author, discernment. I deliberately addressed discernment first because discernment keeps us in balance. No amount of “success” is worth our peace, our health or our relationships.

Also, we’ll need discernment to manage the second trait of the successful author—self-discipline. Why? Because even self-discipline needs to be disciplined. Sometimes we need to re-prioritize.

For instance, last week, my mom went in for emergency surgery. She’s fine and home now and THANK YOU for all your love, prayers and well-wishes. I also had a niece graduating from high school. I took off a few days because I was exhausted from edits, anxiety over my mom and racing across town from hospital to graduation.

I’m still so excited about kohlrabi, so I had to try this recipe for kohlrabi curry when I found it. Although it didn’t turn out to be my favorite dish, I did enjoy a new way to eat kohlrabi and my housemates loved it. The best part about this recipe is it uses both the kohlrabi bulb and the greens, meaning you get more for your money. The greens were better then I expected, and actually tasted quite a bit like swiss chard. Note: I steamed the kohlrabi instead of microwaving it, but I think next time I might just try sautéing it with the garlic and onions. I found this recipe, posted by Cook’s Hideout, fed 3-4 people.
