It took awhile,… Continue reading “Nice Cream” Recipe: Vegan, 3 Ingredients
Sometime in the Fall of 2018, I went to a health clinic for a cerumen impact removal. That's just a fancy way of saying I went in to get the impacted (stuck) ear wax removed from my ears.

The two food plans I'm blending -- The Abs Diet eating plan and The Paleo / Whole30 eating plan -- are not compatible. I recognize that. 😉 I have done both of them at separate times and appreciate the logic behind and the results achieved from both. Some of the things I like about the… Continue reading [Food/Recipe/Diet] Abs Diet Burger
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler." -- saying attributed to Albert Einstein I tend to overthink and overcomplicate things, and I am aware of it. 🙂 Joyce Meyer has a book excerpt about how simplicity is a godly thing, and that complication is a thing the enemy loves to see… Continue reading [Reflection; Spirit/Soul] The Value of Simplifying and of Simple Pleasures
