Eclecticism
I’ve been told, “your very eclectic!” Nothing I’ve strived to be, but naturally this is the person I’ve become. Based on the definition of eclectic, I can honestly say yes; I am a person who embraces ideas, styles, and taste from a diverse range of sources. When I reflect on my life I think there…
My Slight Obsession with Ginger Root
First, Ginger is a plant with leafy stems and yellowish green flowers. The ginger spice comes from the roots of the plant. In foods and beverages, ginger is used as a flavoring agent. So this morning I woke to the sweet smell of Ginger. My fiancé made us Ginger tea. Normally we add the spice,…

Mall Walkers & Bikers: Easy Does it
Today I started my day off around 7:00am. I hopped on my bike and instead of going right today, I went left. A friend of mine was telling me how they do a few laps by looping around the mall a few times. What came to mine was, so your a “mall biker.” I couldn’t…

Coffee is not my Cup of Tea
A cup of tea makes everything better; its always a good idea. I will admit that I am not like the average American because I do not drink coffee. Was there once a time when I did? Yes, but it was merely 1 cup or 1/2 a cup per a morning work day. On average, 50%…

Green, Yellow, Red… “Brush Your Teeth its Time for Bed”
…. These are the words I say to my 4 year old. It is such a challenge as a parent to ensure your kids are brushing properly especially when they want to start doing it on their own. My daughter and I have become “toothbrush testers!” We have gone through toothbrushes like nobody’s business! I…
Henna Belly Blessingway
I love Art in all of its forms from the universe that lies before us (mother nature, creations), canvas paintings, sculptures, and murals, and tattoos to Henna, body jewelry and more. At first I saw Henna and just thought it was “cool,” but I also had some inclination that it was a traditional ritual within…
