Thank you for visiting my blog and allowing me into your life, it’s a great joy. Every country is different in the best of ways, each offers something special to travelers and the people who call it home. I have been to Sydney, Australia, and would go back in a heartbeat if I could fly via Air Emirates. The people were warm, very much like Texas, very helpful and courteous. Here is a photo of the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
You color my world.

Thank you for all the great feedback on the Blogger Highlight series, I’ve enjoyed meeting each blogger and sharing their site with you. This week we highlight the blog Popsicle Society. I have followed Ribana for years, vicariously through her delicious recipes and awesome food photography. One thing about her cooking that I love is that she makes good food by taking the freshest ingredients and making them yummy! I would love to be a guest at her table. She and her husband made a recent move to Phuket and have expanded their marketing business into a full-time effort in paradise.
Hi, I’m Ribana!
I am a nutritionist, pastry chef, recipe developer, food writer, and ultimately a passionate home cook. I curate and develop recipes that are high on nutrition. I develop and test cost effective, nutritious meals using quality ingredients to help people improve their everyday eating experiences.
I love traveling, cooking and enjoying this beautiful nature. We have a wonderful world.
Life is not always easy but give us the opportunity. It is a continue experience, a journey with no map and no rules.
We’ve engaged in this never ending adventure! Let’s enjoy the trip and see where will take us.
Check out Ribana’s free book, PASTA, MY FOOD JOURNAL.

My husband went to Costco on Saturday and bought a nice floral arrangement, Costco floral arrangements are fresher and larger than you can get at Kroger. I always look forward to the monthly Costco trip.

Hello, so glad you stopped by today.
To allow more comments and my ability to communicate with others, I’ve changed the settings so that you don’t have to log in or be a WordPress member.
I’ve updated my About Me page slightly and continue to work on making Organizations That Can Help a drop-down menu. I’ve done it in the past but currently, it’s not correct.
One area I want to expand is Organization that Can Help, please provide any you know of so I can create a much better resource. Thanks. :)
Look for more changes as I work to improve my blog.
Thank you for reading and visiting my blog.

The first doesn’t reflect the exact color but I wanted to highlight all the veins.
Does anyone know what the flower’s name is?

Thank you for all the great feedback on the Blogger Highlight series, I’ve enjoyed meeting each blogger and sharing their blog with you. This week we highlight the blog Yolanda and her creative mind.
My name is Yolanda. From the beginning, I wrote a lot here to teach people about mental illness. I do that sometimes in the present, but now I mostly share my creative perspective in photography, photoshop art, and poetry most of the time.
Yolanda picked up photography when she moved to Stockholm five years ago.
These are one image and one photo she likes and I wanted to share them with you.

Here is a recent favorite of mine.

Yolanda is also a published writer of the book Alternativt.
Baksidan lyder:
”Alternativt” är en bok som jag har skrivit när jag har varit frisk och när jag har varit sjuk. I grunden har jag Aspergers syndrom och lider av bipolär sjukdom. Som person är jag väldigt kreativ. Jag har tidigare givit ut en annan bok, som jag gav namnet ”I skuggan av en siluett skör som glas”. Både den och den här boken är mest baserade på dikter. Den förra boken innehåller även målningar och teckningar. ”Alternativt” bjuder på dikter och texter skrivna av en kreativ och alternativ kvinna, som är mycket mer än bara sina diagnoser.
Finns nu att köpa på Vulkan: https://www.vulkanmedia.se/butik/bocker/alternativt-av-yolanda-christoffersson/
”Alternativt” finns även att köpa i de flesta nätbokhandlarna!
Here’s a great review.
”Your talent bestowed within u by God endowed you to write and inspire others with the beauty and skills of your royal talent.”_-Van Prince
The interpretation of the photos she takes is amazing. She has Asperger Syndrome which I know very little about but I can feel the world around her and despite her challenges, she gets up and keeps living life. That is what we can all do. Live life.
Be sure to stop by and say hello, not only is she talented, she’s so sweet and grateful. I know you will enjoy her blog, pull up a set and stay awhile.

WordPress is jiggy this morning, it won’t let me enlarge or remove the duplicate. The duplicate was added by simply by hitting return on the keyboard. NO problem, they can’t stand between you and me. It’s not even allowing me to use spell checker.

Vivaldi makes me happy, ready to celebrate, and dance all night. I don’t listen to Classical music except Vivaldi. The music never makes me feel sad.
