Good evening dear friends
I like to share. I tried this new product today 5 black grain congee. totally unknown to me, I saw it, and after reading the label decided it was time to give my taste buds a change. Black rice, black soybean, black glutinous rice, black sesame, mulberry fruit and goji berry Doesn’t that sound simply yummy. I followed the directions for cooking it in my rice pot. I had it with Chinese BBQ pork thinly sliced and a bowl of steamed Chinese greens.
For dessert I played in my studio, starting a new page in my October junk journal. For some unknown reason to me, I enjoy the fun of October. This is my second ‘art’ journal dedicated to the silliness of witches, bats and things that go bump in the night. Non fattening too.
There need be no reason or rhyme for the “hobbies” or fun things we do to relax, as long as we take the time we need for ourselves to recharge.
Plan to do something different this week, try something new, spend time with someone you haven’t seen in a while. The boost we get in bringing new vibes into our routine, really helps us to rediscover our own possibilities.

There is a wonderland around us. We walk through it every day. There are magical people that pass us by on the street every day. People with dreams and imaginations just like ours, who from looking at them we would never know that they were actors in their own theatres and plays. Yet at night they could be transforming the world of others with their creativity and talents. You need only walk though a museum, see a window display, every where and especially at this time of year, you will see the creative expressions decorating homes and whole streets…. We love to delight.
