Gratitude is an art of painting

Today I am grateful for the people who dedicate their lives to serving others in this world. Those who give and give and give. Rarely taking or asking for anything in return.

Praise the bridge that carried you over

Today I am grateful for the lessons that I learn each day (and yes, they mostly come from my mistakes). No matter how small and trivial, or how great the hardships. God has so much patience for me. For that I am eternally grateful for.

Who doesn’t like butterflies? I for one LOVE them.

They would have to be one of the most beautiful and innocent creatures out there. The monarch butterfly in particular provides a glorious show each year as they migrate over a 1000 miles through North America and even through parts of Australia.

It may be (and should be!) sad news for some to learn that this annual phenomenon is in danger. The monarch butterfly’s population is experiencing a sharp decline. It’s hard to say where its future lies, but read on to learn more about what we can do to try and steer it in the right direction.

It’s a twisted story that’s heavily rooted in the growing use of agrochemicals on GM crops.

 

The story goes a little something like this. Read more ..

There are only two ways to live life

Today I am grateful for the birds, the bees, the trees and the fleas. Yes, even the fleas (I just wanted that to rhyme, ok?!). Each creature and plant has a roll to play in the ecosystem. Nature is incredible and we need to spend more time getting amongst it. It can teach us so much.

Gratitude is the music of the heart

Today I am grateful for the amazing voices of those who can sing and the musically talented. Your gifts make up for where I lack. Glad someone can fill the void.

Warm Pumpkin and Apple Harvest Salad

Warm pumpkin and apple harvest salad

Sick of pumpkin yet? Not me!! (If you follow me on Facebook, you’d probably have gathered this already!) This warm pumpkin and apple harvest salad is pretty awesome in my ever so humble opinion. (No one else is going to toot my horn, okay, so I have to do it myself). I came up with it for a Halloween luncheon last year but since I don’t really care for Halloween anymore (rebel, I know) and we’re now past that and onto greater things, like CHRISTMAS (and Thanksgiving for you North American folk), I prefer to label it as a ‘harvest’ salad. Sure, it may be Spring here in Australia, but its Fall elsewhere in the world. So I’m all over this ‘harvest’ thing… so shush. Lucky I can get away with eating pumpkins here pretty much all year round as they never seem to go out of fashion and because where I live, we’re just plain awesome like that.

 

I love it served warm but whatever floats your boat. The sweetness of the balsamic and the honey ‘glazed’ walnuts adds a little twist to the usual salad side dishes that, you know, can sometimes get a bit repetitive. I like to live life on the edge. Read more ..
