Hope (Or Why I love Baking)
Hope (Or Why I loveĀ Baking)
Mix. Stir. Bake. Cool. Eat.
Itās a basic recipe for everything and anything that comes out of the oven. But itās not the basics that have the world turning their ovens up to 350 degrees and reaching for the sourdough starter.
It is hope. The secret ingredient in every creation that comes out of our kitchen.
I always knew that focusing on the cups and teaspoons helped my anxious mind.ā¦

That Time the Cat Watched Me With Train Wreck Fascination
That Time the Cat Watched Me With Train WreckĀ Fascination
Itās rare that my 14-year-old cat, Random, takes a keen interest in what I am doing. More often than not, I am just noise in the background that occasionally interrupts his naps. I am there to full his food bowl and add cool water to his fountain.
But my recent endeavors into home exercising created a spectacle worthy of interrupting his bath time on my afghan. In fact, I had his undividedā¦

Embracing Imperfect: How I Figured Out What EVERYONE Has BeenĀ Saying
Have you ever had that moment when the stars align, the tarot cards deliver and the lotto has your number? Or more importantly, that one moment where something you have heard YOUR ENTIRE LIFE finally sinks in?
Yeah. I had one of those just this week.
I was browsing the Kindle Deals in Amazon. While I donāt like reading books on my devices, now is not the time to be picky. I am out of new readingā¦

Did You Know You Can't Say "Beans" Without Smiling?
You physically can't say the word "beans" aloud without smiling. Go ahead. Try it. I'll wait.
You physically canāt say the word ābeansā aloud without smiling. Go ahead. Try it. Iāll wait.
See! Something in the way we utter the word causes the corners of our mouth to turn up in the corners and our cute little dimples to pop out. Itās not as teeth gritting as the word ācheeseā can be for photos but has the same pleasing effect.
This is a random and fun word that my hubbers and I say in theā¦

I Dream of Pie Tin Pancakes
Pie tin pancakes. These three words popped into my head when my cat head butted me awake at 3:08 this morning. It became an obsession until I made the breakfast item this morning.
Pie tin pancakes.
That was the words that popped into my head when my cat head-butted me awake at 3:08 this morning.
Half awake, I rolled over and said, āI just had a dream about pie tin pancakes.ā
āSo, a cake?ā My husband said, with his eyes closed. Apparently the cat had stopped by to say hello to my husband in his brutish manner moments before crossing over to my side of the bed to offer meā¦

Six Years and Counting
Six Years andĀ Counting
Change doesnāt happen quickly, at least not usually. Sure, you have the sudden overnight loss of a loved one or car accident. There are moments when you are employed one moment and not the next. Those are sudden, sudden life-altering changes.
But for the most part, in the day to day grind, things donāt change daily. Itās a slow progression over time of minor tweaks, adjustments and courseā¦

A New Spin on a "New Hope"
I had the pleasure of watching one of my favourite movies on the big screen with a talented live orchestra, giving a new spin on "A New Hope."
The three shots which constitute theĀ openingĀ sequence of one of my favourite films starts with phrase āA long time ago in a galaxy far, far awayā¦.ā followed by the most recognizable theme song in history (in my opinion) with theĀ āStar WarsāĀ logo and theĀ scrolling text outlining the story of āStar Wars: Episode IV ā A New Hope.ā
I tagged along with my husband to San Jose, California in March. Whenā¦

Benefits of Creating Art in the Dark
Henry, a clay sculpture created in the dark, has taught me a valuable lesson about embracing my artistic side with my eyes open.
Meet Henry.
Through a meditative art class, Henry came into my life to teach me the hidden benefits of creating art in the dark.

As a child, I only needed a box of crayons and a scrap of paper to unleash my inner artist. I would draw stick figures or clumps of colour that only I knew what it resembled. I didnāt worry about how close to the real thing I got in my representation orā¦

Reduce Single-Use: Beeswax Wraps Over Paper Sleeves
My complete and utter adoration for baked goods is in direct conflict with my avoidance of single-use items. Luckily, I carry a substitute option in my car and bag for when the craving strikes.
Who doesnāt love the rich, buttery, flakiness of a croissant freshly out of the oven? I am a sucker for fresh baked goods.
Unfortunately, it causes this inner conflict within me between my adoration for pastries and my avoidance of single-use containers. Unless you specify āfor hereā, it will more often than not come in a paper sleeve. And, depending on the place (like a farmerās market), aā¦

I learned a little something about my observation skills, or lack thereof, during a visit to my doctor's office. Lesson learned: there is a reason for joy all around us when we aren't focused on what's wrong.

Creating Structure for My Inner Chaos
Just having "writing" or "sketching" on my to-do list isn't enough. A meditative art class taught me how adding structure unleashes my inner chaos.
I was inspired to take a meditative art class to unless my inner creative via a new outlet.
At my first class, I was instructed to pick up an oil pastel crayon and draw a single line until I was done with that colour or wanted to start anew one. My inner toddler was enthused. I have never used oil pastels and it has been a while since I allowed myself to create messy fridge art.

Glow: How the Divine Wants Me to Shine
I'm not one who seeks guidance in life, creates vision boards or consults a coach. However, I recently felt adrift and figured I would toss my life path to fate and see what happens. In return, my goal was illuminated by a song lyric from The Killers.

Getting My Craft On: Cards
Getting My Craft On:Ā Cards
I love making cards. I make holiday cards, thank you cards, new baby cards and birthday cards for anyone.
Itās a way to flex my creativity while giving a homemade creation to show some love to the recipient.
The first of the year has been a busy one for me. There are several birthdays and the arrival of a new baby to celebrate. And when I say busy, I mean fun.
It all started about five years agoā¦

Becoming a Bit Sketchy (Teaching Myself to Draw)
Writing, words, have been my only outlet for so long. How does one express themselves when their preferred method ceases to fulfill that need? The answer: find another one
Words are my life.
I use words all day long. I write press releases, social media posts, emails and texts. I write journal entries, short stories, long stories and shopping lists. I write Toastmaster speeches, blog entries and welcome books for our vacation suite.
I write all the time.
However, lately, I have found that there are times when words escape me. I am having a hard timeā¦

Thrift Store Find: Side Tables
I was volunteering at the local thrift store when these two beauties walked in. I couldn't resist.
On the way to the thrift store to work my volunteer shift, I had the nagging feeling something was missing. A quick glance into my passenger seat confirmed the presence of my purse, wallet and clearly I had my keys.
I looked down at the empty cup holders between the two front seats and realized I left my coffee cup somewhere back at the homestead.

Wait! I Can Make That: Taco Pizza
Taco Pizza was a staple of my high school years . . . but perhaps the pie that merges Italian and Mexican into one delicious dish could be made in my own kitchen.
Two words. Taco Pizza.
Those were the two favorite words in high school. Taco Pizza was what we ordered when working late on the yearbook. It was what my parents ordered as a special treat when they didnāt feel like cooking. It was what I craved when I would visit during my college years.
Taco Pizza was the specialty of the local pizza joint, Pizza Barn, in my hometown of Gardnerville,ā¦

Fear of Change ā Becoming a CanadianĀ Citizen
I sat in the row next to my husband and seventy-eight other people from 26 countries waiting to become Canadian citizens and I had the fleeting thought that I wasnāt worthy.

āI have only seen a puffin in pictures.ā

These were the thoughts going through my head. For some reason, I believed that if I hadā¦
