BDV: Savory Bliss


This past week has been a long one - lots of hours at work and a lot of trying to get caught up on sleep. I am looking forward to going to bed here in a few minutes.

Sometimes during the winter, my cabin fever comes on quite strong and I only want to get out the house to do something, even it it's just errands.  Last weekend, my roommate treated me to brunch at Georgia's Greek Deli and we had stopped for doughnuts at Frost while on our way to run some errands. These doughtnuts are so very delicious. They are slightly higher priced than that of a standard doughnut, but are made in various flavors to even having cupcakes!

And breakfast at Georgia's: Katarina's omelet with potatoes and pita, with a delicious side pancake.

And the delicious damage:


And this is a hot cocoa chocolate cake doughnut. How incredible does that sound? It was so very creamy and delicious without being too sweet or rich. 

Sundays are my relaxation days - usually - and I love to cuddle with Ernie-cat. Here, I caught him crossing his back legs and thought it to be the most adorable Ernie-antic in a while. 

At work, I got to enjoy some amazing views of a foggy wonderland all around us.

 And how to fix your bronzer when it breaks. I had washed all my brushes and cleaned up my desk, finding my bronzer busted up. Thank goodness for easy fixes though!


And on Hulu+, the beautiful reincarnated Sailor Moon Crystal series brings me right back to childhood. This reboot is based on the manga and not the original anime, which is a nice change-up.

And, basically, that was my week. Nothing too crazy, but enough to appreciate. Hopefully you all had a great week! Was it inspiring at all? Please let me know in the comments.

Now off to bed! zzz,

Em

Sacred Storytelling

Photo by Neven Krcmarek on Unsplash Over the past year, I've begun to uncover my purpose in this life - what am I here for and how do I find fulfillment in that purpose? Is it ongoing or is it a one-time goal that I will eventually achieve? What then if that is the case? There are so many questions to ponder and endless thoughts about the what-ifs and hypothetical future I could potentially have, based on the notion that I knew exactly what my purpose was, that is. I've known that I'm meant to be a storyteller - that I am a writer and creator, but that alone didn't resonate with me or drive me to work towards any one goal of actually being those things. I already was those things, but there wasn't a sense of fulfillment from bestowing upon myself these titles. Works have been created, but to no real purpose or reason. The question is how to make this state of being something more tangible...more real. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago w

A Spring in My Steps

For those of you who have followed me for some time, you must know by now that one of my favorite spots here in Seattle is Green Lake. There's something so serene in walking the almost-three mile path around the lake - all while never even leaving the city. It's a short drive away and I find myself longing for a visit when I think only of its lush natural scenery and everything you could want in a park. I went to Green Lake earlier in the day than normal and spotted these lovely little crocuses, reaching their aubergine-veined petals through the soil. I see them every year scattered about the city, but something about how they always reach for the sky makes them so relatable.  Starting my walk, I noticed the eerie sky and how white it was with overcast - there were crows cawing and screeching from all over, fields and branches full of birds. My assumption is that after all the earthworms were about and crows were swarming to get a shot at their evening meal.  Con

Blossoms & Light : A Pastel Photoshoot

How glorious are the delicate blossoms that sprout in the springtime? It is my most favorite thing about the arrival of springtime - the little pops of pink and white littering residential roads with tiny pastel petals after a gusty wind flow.  A few weeks ago, inspiration sprung up at me while admiring the poppy pink trees on a drive through a windy country road. I was on my way to visit my sister with my DSLR camera in tow. Our plan was for me to practice portrait shots using my new 50 mm 1.8 f/s lens with her as my subject, and since I was still an hour and a half away, I called Stephie and asked if she knew of any blossoming cherry trees nearby for a chance of scenery. She didn't. When I arrived, we drove around with our sights set upon finding the perfect setting. We found it serendipitously - in an almost-empty field at the local community college. It was perfect! A single tree with downy white petals bubbling around its dark branches, surrounded by emerald green gra
