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.

Liquid Salad! Green Smoothies
I was working with a lady who always had a mason jar full of green smoothie with her meal. During our conversations I learned that she ate mostly raw and organic foods.
