Last night I started a new book, A 4th Course of Chicken Soup for the Soul: 101 More Stories To Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit, and the words by Rachel Naomi Remen at the beginning struck a chord with me.

"Everybody is a story. When I was a child, people sat around kitchen tables and told their stories. We don’t do that so much anymore. Sitting around the table telling stories is not just a way of passing time. It is the way the wisdom gets passed along. The stuff that helps us live a life worth remembering. Despite the awesome powers of technology, many of us still do not live very well. We need to listen to each other’s stories once again.”

Do you agree with this? I do!

I'm so excited to share that Vol. 5 of my #digitalmagazine, the Feel Good Magazine❤️, comes out tomorrow, June 23rd.

I can't stop thinking about the joy (and sometimes pain) it gives me to turn this shower thought into a reality. It's my creative passion from cover to cover, written and designed by what is divinely downloaded to me - GOD BIG!

In this issue, be captivated by the inspiring and captivating stories of two phenomenal entrepreneurs - ‪@marciaskervin5842‬ and Yanique Taylor. Plus, there's so much more; from essential self-care strategies, to tips on how to stay ahead of the curve, to a delightful culinary twist by ‪@shaktiathome‬

Thanks to my forever 'bullied'🤭 Editors Marsha Dennie and Dawn Morgan...thanks for the continued support❤️.

STAY TUNED!


Blessings, Love & Light❤️

Join us this weekend, Sunday, May 5th at 6:00pm EST, for a transformative discussion on mindfulness in menopause!

As women, we navigate through various chapters of life, and the #menopausal transition is undoubtedly a significant one. Discover how incorporating #mindfulness practices can bring a sense of calm, clarity, and empowerment during this transformative journey. Our guest speaker, Nicky, from chapter2unleashed.com, will share practical insights and guidance to help us embrace this new chapter with grace and resilience.

As we gather to explore the power of mindfulness, remember the words of Sylvia Boorstein: "Mindfulness is the aware, balanced acceptance of the present experience…It is opening to or receiving the present moment, pleasant or unpleasant, just as it is, without either clinging to it or rejecting it" Let's embrace this moment together!

Don't miss out—mark your calendars and join us for "Let's Talk Peri (Menopause)" this weekend! Registration link in bio, or you can tap here us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0kd-6upz4tG9fzZ…

You can also join our WhatsApp group by clicking on this link (link also in bio) >>> chat.whatsapp.com/DDBJDCfWGczJmEf4mDGYot

Come join us for a lively conversation. See you soon!


Cheers❤️

Laurie Colwin once said, “No one who cooks, cooks alone. Even at her most solitary, a cook in the kitchen is surrounded by generations of cooks past, the advice and menus of cooks present, the wisdom of cookbook writers.”

In today’s blog post, I share with you my food article that was published in The Amaranth: A Journal of Food Writing and Art, in their Autumn 2023 issue. Talk about glad bag buss (burst), yup that was me when I got the email notification that my article was selected, and then the excitement bubble exploded in October - when it was finally published. Thanks to my virtual friend in Dublin (we met on Instagram) who recommended that I try out for this – thanks Louise!

Check out the article below.

Until next week, make the recipe in today’s blog post and tell me about it.

Cheers,
