Strawberry Cherry Cobbler


This little lady just had a birthday. It was a wonderful day with wonderful people. I feel so blessed for my loved ones and my birthday was just a demonstration of that. They made me feel truly special in every way. Exhibit A, as you see in the picture below: I came home from work to a room truly "birthdayfied". All of my quoted pictures hung-up throughout my room had been re-quoted so that they all applied to "birthday". These decorations, in my opinion, were far better than the generic kind you find at the store. They exemplify love, creativity and time-well-spent. I could not stop smiling.

Fudgy Chocolate Brownies with sea salt and cocoa nibs


" The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it basically because you feel good, very good when you are near or with them," -Charles Bukowski 

I've been learning a lot about myself this year, what I want from this life, what I want to achieve, my inner most desires and goals. Above all, no matter where I am or what I am doing, I want to be happy. Happiness is my number one goal. This goal, is easier to achieve than one might think. It's just a matter of setting your mind to it, opening your mind to infinite possibilities. I am not worried about successes or failures, for these moments are meant for learning and experiencing. My goal is to be happy and live comfortably with the people dearest to me. I want to surround myself with free spirits and beautiful souls.
