As you’ve seen in my #WhatsForDinner posts, I’ve been sharing many of my recent cooking escapades. While I typically don’t bake a whole lot (other than occasionally tossing in some cornbread muffins), it suddenly became important to me to bake whole wheat bread. I don’t eat a lot of bread, though I do enjoy toast with hummus or avocado. To...
I couldn’t imagine my life without Simon Sebastien. Rather, I didn’t WANT to imagine living without him. Four years ago, my heart stopped beating as he took his final breath in my arms. I am forever changed. In good ways, for the time we had together. In not good ways because I’ve been trying to navigate life without my heart....
I haven’t been feeling my best lately. I’ve identified two areas where I can make wellness tweaks that I’m hoping will get me back on track. Vegan At Home Given my family history with eating disorders1, I am very careful to not put judgment labels on food. No food is inherently bad or good. Food nourishes our body and spirit....
Sorry it’s a little late, fam. Had a bit of a situation over here. An unwelcome visitor, so to speak. I’m just glad it didn’t completely trash my place. As I was starting to think of what to write about my eighth month in Raleigh, a swirl of clouds appeared off the coast of Africa. Over the next 10 days,...
Well, I sorta almost forgot to write anything about the 4-month mark of living in Raleigh. It’s been on my mind for the past couple of weeks, but it’s been a busy time getting my freelance business going. #WeatherReportByVicster We’re starting to experience summer-like weather: it’s been in the 90’s for the past few days, but the humidity hasn’t been...
Well. Fifty-two was quite a year. Before I started writing this post I took a quick peek at the post that I wrote last year. I knew I was headed for change and growth and I was making definite steps toward…well, what it was I wasn’t yet entirely sure. I had found a lot of my life that was no...
A year ago, I had my DSLR. A year ago, I had my tripod to hold my camera. A year ago, I had my nice external flash units. A year ago, I had fully-charged batteries for the camera and flash units. A year ago, I had my light stands and diffuser umbrella. A year ago, I had access to a...
I kid! Sort of. I spent a lot of years feeling like a failure for not finding a lasting connection to someone where we complement each other. There have been lots of misses, but no real hits to speak of. And I’m (now) okay with that. First I needed to go through the difficult journey of learning to love myself....
In addition to being the one month anniversary of my leaving the Bay Area, Wednesday would also have been my mother’s birthday. Sort of a strange set of baggage I’ve got there. And given the cargo of those Relo Cubes, I figuratively and literally carried much of that baggage across the country, some of it out of necessity. What I...
As shit gets more real And I find myself slightly unsteady Under the influence of False Evidence Appearing Real I commit myself to choosing Inspiration Over Fear ????????????
