I've returned!

   So... this little "Picture and a Paragraph" for 30 days was a fail haha. After  couple of days I realized that I didn't like logging on to the internet everyday. BUT just because I didn't document it for 30 exact does not mean I didn't get out there and change my life! I'm humbly thankful to report that I am at a good place right now. It was a rocky road and I found out some interesting things about myself. One major thing; I am naturally I private person (and yes it took me this long to realize it :) ) and I can't just bare my soul to anybody and everybody (a.k.a. the internet). So I'm  not making myself post what I don't feel comfortable posting. :) Anyways! Here are some things I did during my blogging hiatus:

Adopted my babygirl Austin!
She had been bouncing around from owner to owner for 2 years. She found her way home March 21 and now I can't imagine life without her. My sunshine♥



Road trip to Salvation Mountain in Niland California.
I've always wanted to go and finally did. It was crazy and beautiful.




Evolved in my perception of God.
I noticed that I carried a lot of views that were recycled from what others thought about God. What I have been through was profound for me...This wasn't planned whatsoever, but I threw off the reigns and went my own way for about 3 months. Then there was transition. I went from doubts and questions to enlightenment and a greater love for God and humankind. I  learned and am still learning to throw off the perceptions that aren't directly from what I personally experience, or that are not centered on the deep love and miraculous gift of being redeemed.
*I am no better or worse than my friends, my beliefs are my own and I don't push them on anyone. I simply like to share what is happening in my own life!*

still a work in progress :) Jeremiah 29:13



Adopted a Gluten-Free lifestyle.
 When I was diagnosed with an allergy to gluten (wheat, barley, rye), I was bummed. Lord knows I was very hesitant to start living a life without bread, pasteries, or my favorite, bulgur wheat. But the results and benefits are just great- I still bake pasteries and get creative in the kitchen- just not with the same flours. I feel no more exhaustion or discomfort... just amazing!

Gluten-free Crossaint recipe. When I found out the recipe for this existed, I'm pretty sure I shed a tear haha.


Among many other things, I feel that these were my top 4 achievements in 1st half of the year. I can't wait for this summer to begin... I have so many awesome things planned that I get to blog about haha. Oh blog, how I missed you so!
