I grew up with a mom who was very curious about foods. If she cooked it my two sisters and I tried it and most of the time acquired a taste for it. We ate rutabaga, fish of every kind, duck, goat, lamb, Brussels sprouts, avocado, kale, collards, and my favorite fruits rhubarb, guava, mango, papaya, and lychees. As a teen in the 70s I got into sprouts, tofu, tempeh, and now I'm learning more about fermented foods. My family are primarily New Yorkers of Caribbean descent. We were influenced by the vastness of NYC's food variety and availability. If it looked interesting many times we'd ask the green grocer, the fish man or the butcher about the particular food and how to prepare it. I think my mom was an early foodie.

This High Priestess Of Soul Sang With Sacred Intuition
This High Priestess Of Soul Sang With Sacred Intuition: Sometimes we just be knowing something, even if we don’t know how we know it. This is our sacred intuition kicking in, and Spirit wants us to listen to it. After a deadly bombing, her sacred intuition was yelling for change. Singing from her spirit, she brought that change to the stage.

Lost Love Found
Big Papi and me |
Elegance is not being noticed,
it's being remembered.
~ Ralph Lauren ~
Once in a lifetime if we are lucky we find true, soul-stirring love. When I was a twenty-something I was blessed and found a man who loved me unconditionally and treated me with dignity and respect. I felt adored and important, beautiful and smart with him. With thirty years behind us and incredible memories we reconnected. We laughed, talked and ate just like we once did. Sharing time together was splendid. A lot has changed. Our lives went in different directions. Our love is and always will be an unforgettable moment in time. Thanks Big Papi.
