Pumpkin Spice Semifreddo to Take Charge

Using the positive energy of Mars, focus all your energies into the future. Set a goal, go after it and do not get distracted by shiny objects, so to speak. Joining forces together with friends or colleagues will make life easier. Just make sure you establish a balance. Sometimes we want to cover all the bases and forget that our number one priority should be to create good, first for us, then for others. After all, if you don't have one thing, how can you share it with the rest? Here is a recipe that I love to make at this time of the year due to its simplicity and deliciousness. It tastes like the holidays but it also could be used to describe the reality of life. While there are some soft and creamy areas (the whipped cream) there are some rough, crunchy parts as well, like the pecans. The best way to enjoy it is not by separating one from the other, but by taking one bite at a time and enjoying it all at the same time.
