  • Discovering My Culinary Journey: From Surgery to Family Meals

    Lately, I’ve been flooded with questions about my culinary choices and how I maintain a healthy lifestyle. You’ve asked me everything from “What kind of dinners do you eat?” to “Would you consider making videos showing how you prepare meals for your family?” I’m excited to dive into these topics and share a glimpse into…

  • Love Speaks

    He passed on in late January 2022 and I have not been able to talk about it. I was extremely traumatised by the horrible nature of things both before and after his passing. Honestly it will likely haunt me for the rest of my life but my Pop loved me and mine. He even fought…

    I feel like I spent years and years of my life going around with a blindfold tied firmly around my head. I put it on myself and I kept it there willingly mind you. I allowed myself to wallow in my own self loathing. I was totally convinced that life for me, was to a…

  • Squeeze me

    I have been asking myself over and over this week “What comes out of me when I am squeezed.” What are my responses to life? What are my responses to the challenges and to the trials that I am personally facing and that my family faces at this time. What about my friends and my…

    Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, How stressful is the seeeeeeason! I am writing this in my post Christmas calm, while lying in bed having a little afternoon rest. This is code for I have a wicked hang over and reflux kept me awake all hours of the night, so I am trying to make…
