I hope I come across as an interesting person. I love reiki and other forms of healing, cooking, crystals and baking. I am constantly working on crafts and projects such as painting, felting, and knitting. I feel like I am still looking for my happiness in life. My life purpose. Isn't that what we are all looking for. I don't mean happiness as friends and loved ones since I have plenty of those. I mean career wise. You can see my journey through my blog as I explore my culinary passion.

Festive Bear Hug Sugar Cookies
Yes I am late with my holiday baking. I usually start at the end of November. Why because it just takes so long. I decided this year I wanted to change up my cookies and try using cookie cutters. I usually hate rolled cookies because I don’t like the texture and it takes too long. …
