You have likely heard of the “C Word”. And it probably conjures up a reaction. For some it might mean one thing and for others it’s something else. Today I would like to share with you a different kind of “C Word” and I believe this one is destructive as well. Continue reading
This year is like 4th of July 2.0. What I mean by that is, it’s the second year we are in London for this special holiday. Since Americans abroad don’t get this holiday off work, celebrating can be unique. And especially this year, as I am taking Snapchat on a very unique adventure. If you’d like to join in my username is blissbakery. It is a surprise so I won’t say much now. But I will leave you with last year’s post for the day that is in it. There is even a foodie recipe for you, since food is of the utmost importance in your festive fourth of July gathering. Continue reading
Having lived in America most of my life, I’ve been lucky enough to travel north to Canada on a few occasions. The first was to Montreal in 1987 to film a Suzuki Samurai commercial. I loved what I saw of the city but didn’t get to tour around too much because of work. The second time I visited Canada was to take my son to an ice hockey camp in Logan Lakes. I remember it was gorgeous and woodsy. And my third visit was with Hubby to Vancouver, a very hip and diverse culture with stunning natural beauty. So I was delighted to have the opportunity to return to Canada and soak up as much as I could in one week. Continue reading
Though I left New York over a week ago, I wanted to post a round up of the visit there before too much time passes. Having lived and worked in New York for three years and to go back there again as a tourist was a unique experience unto itself. While it is a city with a personality like no other, it is steeped in history and rich in culture. Yet it is always changing and there is vitality in its newness. So I visited places I had been before and saw some spots for the first time. And all of it was with massive gratitude. Continue reading
Sharing my post from last year, well, because it felt apropos:
Father’s Day, like Mother’s Day and indeed Valentine’s Day (the made up card company holidays) are always received with mixed emotions. Some people love them and embrace them. Others have gone so far as to share on their social media that they literally HATE them! They say it is only a reminder that they don’t have a mom, dad or lover. Or maybe they do have them but aren’t happy with the ones they got. Continue reading
Last year Hubby and I spent our anniversary in Kenya, Africa. I wrote several posts about why were were there. But of course the post on this date last year wasn’t so much about our time with the great people of Dandora but about us: A married couple, best friends and soulmates forever more! I titled it Two Become One. Continue reading
It is no secret that I love to travel. But what is a secret is that soon I will be going to my favorite city in the world, Washington DC! I didn’t actually go for the first time until I was 26 years old. This was 1990 and I remember that I fell in love instantly. I was also a bit guilty I hadn’t gone sooner. In fact I recall thinking that it was a place every American citizen should visit at least once in their lives. Continue reading
