It’s my 3rd Blogging Anniversary! (July 2020)

Today is August 1, 2020! Rabbit Rabbit! I was supposed to write this on yesterday, the last day of July 2020. No excuse for not doing so. It wasn’t to be.

Three years ago, I began this journey of blogging. I have always loved to write, but never for the public, unless it was a scientific research article for my day job. I have also written poems and in a journal, since a youth. My mother always said that I should have embarked on the path of being a journalist. I was always curious about photojournalism. Just yesterday, my mother told me that I should write a book. Eh, I am sure a book is in my future, so when that happens, it will happen. This blogger life is my first time expressing my words publicly. I mean, unless social media posts count. LOL This journey has allowed me to share a little of mySelf, my thoughts, and emotions with you, my cyber peeps. I hope you have enjoyed my blog thus far. Thank you! Thank you to all who visits my website, reads my blogs, and just everyone who takes a moment to share space and time. Send me a note and let me know what you think. (Btw, comments do not post on the website directly, just in case you were wondering LOL) If you are interested in my thoughts on various topics, let me know. I always have an opinion and love a good mental flex. Therefore, I hope this new month brings you a wealth of experiences that allow you to look deep within yourself and your journey. Whatever August brings, feel it, write it, and embrace it. Our journey is exactly as it is supposed to be, divinely designed, so allow it to move and shape you. As you flow through it, remember that love is in each moment.

Peace & Love

Amazing Summer’s End to Beautiful Autumn Beginnings (August/September 2018)

Happy Autumn!!! It’s been an amazing summer and start of another year as a blogger.

Sights during my Sunday walk, on the last day of September!!! It’s officially Fall Season but there are still butterflies and pretty flowers!

This reflection spans two months because life has been amazingly busy; flowing like a raging river. From work, to vacations, to family gatherings, to work travels, conferences, to sitting staring at the clouds, it’s been quite a time. In the length of two months, I’ve traveled to Germany, Italy,  New York,  Hawaii, North Carolina to conferences, and carnivals. It’s been quite a ride. Through all of my travel, there was one activity that I enjoyed the most, yes you guessed it, Eating!!!! Dining solo or with friends and family, I realized how much I used to love cooking. A hobby I just haven’t had the time to keep up. It’s always easier to head to the grocery and purchase from the salad bar or go dine at a restaurant. So, Yes, cookin!!! I’ve missed it! It hit me when I was in Hawaii and then again in North Carolina; I began to crave cooked food. Like that good old fashion, made from scratch, munching while stirring the pot on a Sunday afternoon food. I began watching cooking shows in the hotel. Lol I watched this cooking show that had children throwing down in the kitchen like Top Chefs! Loved it, but you know I can’t remember the name of the show and probably won’t see it again , since I don’t have TV at home. Lol Yea, I’m one of those no television people. Anyway, as soon as I got home from my travels, I began to cook. From crockpot dishes to oven roasted, full flamed dishes. Cookin like I had a full house of people to feed! You know when you cook like you have a family! Hahaha I’ll share a few pictures on this post and maybe I’ll post some recipes another time.

To go back to reflecting on my journey of deciding to finally create a blog and Be a Blogger. My intentions are to share my Love. One of the best ways to share love is through cooking. You can definitely pour all of your love into an amazing dish and share it with others. Here is to sharing my love with you, my readers, and remember that love is in each moment! 

Peace. Anasa Laa 💜
