Tangerine Dream

 

I am wearing one of my favorite colors. Orange! This tangerine orange top is very vibrant and silky and soft and perfect for this scorching heatwave in Southern California. I am so happy it's Friday and I hope you have had a great week so far!

 

 The recent heatwave has turned me a very deep bronze

I am without a doubt, a dreamer. And I am very proud of it. I dream big and I dream my best dreams when I am awake

From the time I was in high school, I have had a thing for big over sized hoop earrings. They have always been a part of my style and I think a hoop earring is classic and timeless.

 Daydreaming is a beautiful thing...

Have an amazing weekend! Make it wonderful! Indulge in a simple pleasure...have an ice cream cone, a nutty buddy, a 50/50 bar, a bomb pop, an eskimo pie, an ice cream sandwich, a blizzard, a root beer float, a shake, an Italian ice, granita, shaved ice, raspado, gelato,  Halo Halo, Kulfi or a sundae:-) It's summer time and its hot and you deserve an icy cold, sweet confection!

Sometimes life is about simple pleasures. Now go have some ice cream or sumthin...:-)

I want to Eat Your Words

 

I have read your emails and comments about hearing more of my poetic flow, so I wanted to post something special today.  I wanted to start off by telling you about the book I read more than any other book in my collection.  My Bible.  This book has drama, scandal, intrigue, pearls of wisdom and is the  quintessential manual for living the right way.  I try to follow this amazing guide to living and do everything the bible says. I really try, but I have to be real and tell you that sometimes I fail. Yes, sometimes I fail.

Miserably.

But that doesn't stop me from trying.

I love God and I love his words. The Poem I am about to share with you is about this book having words so powerful that it is like a good meal.  The words are so good...that I want to eat them. 

And now here is my poetic flow:

I want to Eat Your Words

I want to eat your words

Let them stimulate my taste buds

And wake up with the flavor on my tongue

I want to eat your words

And let them simmer in

The oven of my spirit

Then breathe the aroma on my enemies

I want to eat your words

Till they taste like

Peach cobbler and ice cream

Served by the Virgin Mary in the sanctuary

I want to eat your words and watch my spirit rise

Like bread

Till your scent runs around the corner

And folks line up just for a taste

I want to eat your words like

They were the last entree

In the buffet line

I want to eat your words

Digest them in my soul

And defecate the remains on

My enemies

I want to swallow your words whole

Then regurgitate

Psalms, proverbs and parables

I want to eat your words

And then lick my fingers

To get the last drop of anointing from my plate

I want to eat your words till they blend

With my own

To form rhythms and sounds

Laced with holy spirits, cherubs and the ethereal music of my soul

I want to eat your words

To lift me up above my trouble and

End my weariness

I want to eat your words

Until I am full

 Eat

Savor

Digest

Red White and Blue

Hello Beautiful Ones and Happy July 4th! I hope your day is filled with sunshine, friends and family and of course finger lickin good barbecue! Don't forget to take a moment to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

I created a really fun mocktail that is perfect for July 4th. I call it: "Cherry Bomb!" This is a very easy drink to make and it has great taste, and a little sizzle action too. I named this drink after those explosive Cherry Bomb Fireworks. What makes this drink so fun is the cherry pop rocks that rim the glass. you get a burst of flavor and some popping action too! Ready to make this drink?

Cherry Bomb

Ingredients

Cherry Sorbet

Sprite

Cherry Pop Rocks

You can serve this drink in any glass, but I thought the martini glass gave it some extra oomph:-) To make this drink, simply put a scoop of sorbet in a glass and pour sprite over it. Rim your glass with Cherry pop rocks and Voila! Cherry Bomb!

Cherry Bomb? Yes please!!!!!

Happy 4th of July!

Birthday Girl!
