I try to spend most of my time here on this beautiful green earth doing the things that make me feel alive. There are several things that make me feel alive and a few of them I will share here. The first one I love the most and that makes me feel the most alive is cooking a great meal. I love to gather the ingredients, prepare them, and especially when I'm preparing that meal for family or friends it gives me so much life! I love to whip together new meals or even come up with new meals that I decided I wanted to give a try to. Sometimes I come up with new recipes on the fly by myself and they turn out delicious, sometimes not, but I always have fun with it and I always feel alive when doing so. Another thing that makes me feel alive is listening to music. Any kind of music that I love, which is most recently electronic dance music, it drives this lovely feeling through my soul and awakens me in the most raw way known. I can feel my skin wake up and my brain awaken to the lively sounds within. I usually dance and that makes me feel even more alive! The best thing yet that I've found is cooking WHILE listening to music! I know, crazy concept isn't it? But it totally works! I've also found that using healing herbs in my cooking and just all around working with healing herbs is a great way to feel alive in general. I love to learn about these herbs and what they do and what they are good for. What nutrients are they rich in and what ailments do they do well in helping with? Oh, it just floats my boat right on into the ocean! I've recently started learning about how to make tinctures and ointments out of fresh herbs and will soon start a certification program on healing with herbs! Something else that gives me pure life is spending time with my son. He's 4 years old right now the light of my life. He was a happy surprise when I was told by two doctors that I was never going to have any children, or couldn't, and then came along my beautiful son. He is lively, and smart, and he loves Minecraft. He gives me life when I feel like I'm losing it, and makes me smile when my face feels broken. I feel like he has been an incredible blessing upon my life since he was born. The last thing that really rattles my bolts and gives me that spark of life is water. Water? Yes...water! Fresh, delicious, cool, filtered by Reverse Osmosis Water. It makes me feel good, it refreshes me, and it literally gives me life. I couldn't ask for a better beverage than that. I have kept it quite simple since that is what I like to do, the things that give me life are things that will continue to give me life until my dying day, or so I'd hope so. I hope to go on loving these things forever and growing in them for they are good things to grow in, or so I believe. Thanks for joining me in what brings me life. Much love to you!
