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 💜

Pictures & Words (June 2018)

It’s fully all sunny and summery! Happy Summer!

June was jam packed with travel, work, new experiences, lightbulb moments, meditation and simple flow. So much happenings that words alone can’t describe this monthly reflection! I’ll just place a few of the June- Anasa Laa Pixpressions© that you may have seen posted on my Instagram and Facebook pages. If you aren’t following me yet, what’s up with that? Lol 🙂

Went to a fun filled crawfish boil and was joined by a beautiful snake that stole everyone’s attention!
Explored D.C. with some new friends and took in the moments that are placed in your path to remind you that love is in each moment along this journey! Street art is the best! 💜
Along this journey always make time for the simple moments like good conversation with strangers who aren’t so strangerly and a glass of wine or maybe two lol
Remember to celebrate you… I’m my biggest critic but also my loudest cheerleader!

I hope your June reflection was complete with joy and love!

Leave a comment below and don’t forget to keep a journal! Only you can tell your story, so it’s told exactly as you want it to be!

Love is in each moment! Peace.
