Struggles of Living a Healthier Lifestyle

Tags

I haven’t written on exercise in a while.  Probably because I haven’t really been doing any so why would I want to confess to all of you that I have been sitting on the coach watching Netflix and eating not so great!  I can’t tell you that!  I’m suppose to be living a healthier lifestyle.

Well, for me living a healthier lifestyle isn’t always easy!   Continue reading

Maritime Kitchen Party

I’ve recently moved … again … to a little town in Nova Scotia.  It has been so long that I have lived in a small town and in the Maritimes I had forgotten some of the things that I love about the Maritimes the most.  Living in a city for 9 years, attending and working in a church of an average attendance of 130, and not socializing so much with your neighbours makes a person forget Continue reading

I found an interesting concept through a blog that I read (sorry I can’t remember where it was) and was fascinated.  It was such a great idea I wanted to try it.  I told my sister about it and found a video on Youtube to show her.  She was really excited to try it out.  She got to it before I did, but I thought I would share her results with you.  I’m talking about PIECAKEN!  What on earth is that?  I know, I thought the same thing when I first read about this delicious idea.

3 Rhubarb Recipes – Sauce, Crisp, Muffins

Rhubarb tastes tart and sour and is a great treat when dipped in sugar.  This is something I did when I was young.  Now my taste buds can handle the punch the rhubarb sends to my tongue and I can eat it raw – minus the sugar.

Last week I bought two bunches of rhubarb from someone on the side of the road that used the honour system.  I left my money in a jar that was sitting on the table with the rest of the bunches.  I found out on the weekend that my neighbour has a ton of rhubarb. Continue reading

Art Project: Credo

Tags

, , ,

Last Fall (Sept 2011) I started my Masters of Divinity.  I took a Theology course in the Fall and Winter.  One of our assignments for both courses was to write a Credo Statement (your beliefs on a certain topics).  The Fall semester we wrote on Revelation, God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Trinity.  The Winter semester we wrote on humanity, sin, church, salvation, and end times.

As the year was ending the social rep. was looking for “talent” for our year end banquet.  I don’t sing or play guitar in front of people but i could show some of my art.  That started to get me thinking about the pieces I had at home, my credo, and more pieces I could add to it.  I put it together and there it all was.  I thought I would share the paintings with you.  They won’t be as good on here as they are to see them in person, but you will get the idea.  If you are really interested in what I wrote about, let me know and I can always send you a copy of my credo statement.  But I won’t bore you with that on here.  I will only give you the title of the painting (under each piece) and let your creative minds do the rest.

Revelation

Revelation.  God reveal’s himself to us through nature.  Medium: Oil Continue reading

Cupcake Decorating

I have discovered a new hobby!  I’m wondering if you would really call it a hobby, but all the same I really enjoy decorating cupcakes.  Partly because I get to use an old metal frosting tube which is so much better than the cloth bags and because of the creativity that happens.  I thought I would share a few photos of my most recent cupcakes that were given as a birthday present.   Continue reading
