A Baker’s Delight

Felt like baking. . .

As a creative, I love exploring the various sides of me. Cooking is my first love, but baking is my second best. Whatever I can do, I honor them, because I see them as gifts – and I love sharing gifts. 😊

This was my first time making these biscuits and they came out perfectly. I’m an instructions guy. I follow the instructions to the tee, the first time so that I can see how it’s intended to be. Then after that I make my tweaks, if necessary. I’m very proud of myself and how it turned out. It’s very light, fluffy, and crumbles a bit as you bite into it. It’s Bisquick.

Then I decided, hum, I want something sweet. So I took out the Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Mix, made my flax egg, added some Country Crock Plant Butter, and it’s such a delight! See, I’m a chewy cookie person, so I like for it to break off into smaller pieces, and one by one its creamy – yet slight crunch melts in your mouth. Hmph, I’m getting excited just thinking about it. 😋

Anyway, I hope you’re okay, and well. If anyone hasn’t told you this yet today, I love you! 😘

Have the most amazing day! 💙😁

Afternoon Tea ☕

Allowing space to sit in introspection with gratitude. 😊

When I first moved into my apartment, I had a certain specific image for my home. While I was appreciating my progress, I felt like my original vision was not coming together as I planned.

One day I had to come to the place in me, that my place is perfect right now, just as it is. Once I was able to accept that, I started seeing my home come together on its on, and guess what? I’m loving it! It’s nothing I would have ever imagined for myself. I’m so grateful for following my instincts in the moment, even though it didn’t make sense at the time, but to see it all come together is so magical. 💜💫

But you know what? By me being able to see this about my home, it has allowed me to see how I look at me, myself. I’m perfect already right now, just as I am. And I’m continually evolving. So learning to love and appreciate the person I am through each process of life. It’s such a beautiful place of liberty and freedom. 🔵

Hope you’re having an amazing Saturday! 🌻
Love you! 🤎😘

It’s just about that time again! 🍂

While I love all the seasons, Autumn is my second favorite. Of course Summer is my first love – I’m a Summer baby! 😁

This year I’m even more excited to be able to incorporate more Autumn themes around the house. One thing I enjoy is not only being a plant dad, but also being able to bring seasonal elements into the home in the sense of live decor.

Can’t wait to share some of themes and visions I’m cooking up this year. 🤩

Happy Autumn prepping! 🧡🧡

A Guided Morning Meditation

Inhale deeply… and exhale slowly.

Breathe in… and out.

Breathe in again, breathing in energy… and exhale.

Keep breathing deeply, slowly, and calmly.
With each breath, you can take in the air your body needs, and become filled with energy. You can exhale any tension or fatigue you may be experiencing.

For the next few moments, focus on your breath, and concentrate on breathing energy and positive feelings in, and breathing negative feelings out and away.

Often times we get so busy so, we’re continuously giving from an empty well or fountain.

It’s impossible to give your best during the day when you have not taken the proper time to refill your well.

A simple 7 minute meditation exercise each morning when you awaken can fill you in so many ways.

Meditation will show you that busyness does not always mean productivity. In fact, stillness is productivity on a whole other level.
Allow yourself to be guided throughout your day.

Sending you love, light, healing, blessings & abundance. 💙🌞🌻

You are Love. 🤍

Allow that to sink in. You are love. No need in looking for it or trying to find it in anything or anyone else. It’s an inside job.

Everything is an inside job. Your life is an exact replica of what’s going on inside of you. How you love yourself, how you treat your own self, how you think of yourself, how you feel about yourself, how integral you are to yourself, and the boundaries you set for yourself reflects in the external relationships you have with others and how others deal with and treat you.

Love on yourself, and see just how magical your life can truly be.
