April 2025 City Life Vlog: If it is Your Calling, It Will Keep Calling.

Your direction is more

important than your speed.

A lot of people are going

nowhere fast.

Sometimes your only closure is knowing you had good intentions and a good heart.

Something many do not have at all a lot these days...

• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

• After 14 minutes, remove the eggs from the water and place in the ice water bath.
• Once the eggs have cooled completely, peel them and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the yolk to a small bowl with a spoon and place the egg whites on a plate.
• Mash the yolks with a fork and add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir everything together.
