I love biting into a piping hot spoon of potatoes; steam dancing over my face. The aromatic notes of herb, garlic, onion and the earthy potatoes caressing my oral factory receptors. Heat warming my lips before the hot creamy contents of the spoon hit the top of my mouth, then melt over my tongue, and… […]
The last few months, damn, am I right? The Astrologers say that 2020 is the year to start anew, to work with your blank canvas. This resonates for me on so many levels. They also say that this will not be easy, that the karma from your past will play little tricks on you, pushing […]
I have signed up for a 52 Week Hiking challenge! I have learned that I need #prompts for all things: reading, writing, parenting, learning, cooking, and definitely with fitness. I was looking for the perfect way to get my booty out of my house and hiking would be just the thing. I wasn’t quite sure […]
(Normal Rockwell’s “Freedom From Want” . Wikipedia.) I have always revered the picture by Norman Rockwell titled “Freedom From Want”. (oh, I know there are a lot of negative connotations to the them as well, but roll with me in my idealic repartee, eh?) This idyllic experience of dining together, in times of plenty, epitomized […]

I made a #post #today, full of #hashtags #ofcourse, on #Instagram. I was #completelyamazed at the enormous #variety of #hashtags that #exist and how #often they are #used. And […]
While pursuing my degree I consistently dealt with the impostor syndrome that I developed at the young age of 12 (another story for another time). This was especially evident in my art and art history classes. I felt so unworthy of being in art museums and galleries and presenting my own art for critique. I […]
Eating on the run is not something I’m experienced at. I’m typically afforded long days of home and garden tasks intermingled with self-care (which you’d think I’d be better at!) and have ample time for quiet un-interrupted lunches. I do know, though, that when at work or school or home with little people, that the […]
I had these thoughts, the thoughts below, while gardening away one day. Who knew that digging in the dirt for the end of a taproot could lead to such eloquent inquiry; very much the same way that Tarot reading does for me or the way reading a bible verse of the day may do for […]
