Gold and Silver -
Commodities or the currency of life?
Oil -
A Resource, or a ransom paid by the nations?
Creation -
Created in love; by Love.
Polluted with hate, and destroyed by the created.
We will possess what our children are to inherit.
The battles we fight now are so our children can enjoy a brigher future.
Therefore, the battles we refuse to fight,
and do not gain the victory, we leave for our children to battle with.
What are you leaving behind?

The Art of Seduction
She will find your weakness, and play with it until your eyes water.
In her hands...
soft and strong,
big and brutal.
Hold on to her,
until she lets go.
Never fall into her eyes, the color alone is brown venom.
With a grin, you will walk with her,
But she is always ahead of you.
She will smile while crying,
lie while loving.
You will cry with her love,
and smile by her lies.
You will love to hate her!
In her hands...
soft and strong,
big and brutal.
Hold on to her,
until she lets go.
Never fall into her eyes, the color alone is brown venom.
With a grin, you will walk with her,
But she is always ahead of you.
She will smile while crying,
lie while loving.
You will cry with her love,
and smile by her lies.
You will love to hate her!

Nostalgia
The other day caught in a wave of nostalgia I impulsively spent a ridiculous amount on a set of Winnie-the -Pooh checks. I choose to call it nostalgia and not insanity!
This is because it is in our innate nature to want to be comforted when we are going through a difficult or stressed time. Such as the term, "comfort food!" (Which is a whole blog in itself!)
For me, Winnie-the-Pooh congers up fond childhood memories; when I would cuddle up in bed and spend the whole day getting lost in the ten-acre wood. As for my favorite character of the bunch it would be a toss up between Pooh himself and the charismatic Tigger. Christopher Robin would be my least favorite, perhaps because he did not offer any of the animated characteristics of the others. Believe me whatever Disney could come out with that featured Winnie and his friends, I had it!
So, when I was looking through the mundane check series and my eyes caught glimpse of the ten acre wood with that beloved bear and his endearing honey pot; I failed to realize I was no longer in the free checks, but crossed over into the luxurious specialty check series. By then, it was too late; I was headfirst in nostalgia and had to have them.
This morning however, on my way to Wal-Mart to go food shopping because I could not afford the shopping pleasure of Publix this week, that warm nostalgic feeling I enjoyed has now turned to shoppers remorse!

New Read
I could not wait to get my hands on Lisa Unger's latest release, "Fragile," which came out on the 3rd. Frustrated that I havent been able to go into town to purchase it, I downloaded the e-book last night.
Chomping at the bit I dove into the prologue. Midway through my fiance called to tell me he was on his way home. At that point I was faced with a dirty kitchen, raw chicken, and an intense desire to turn the page to see what happens....
"Honey, on your way home could you stop at the store?"
Figuring out his location, the distance to the store in rush hour traffic, I knew I had enough time to read fast before racing into the kitchen.
Lets just say, Lisa Unger is the Prologue Queen!! I cannot wait to dive into this book, it is fantastic. If you are not familiar with her writing I encourage you to put one of her books on your shelf today!

Ethnic Eats
I have found myself challenged in writing the sequel to "In His Love," partly because I have to incorporate facts of the lifestyle, culture, traditions of dress, religion, even food for Guatemala. While reading about the fiestas they typically hold I came across some great recipes.
What better way to embrace a culture than to partake in their food and drink? In that spirit and recipes in hand I proceeded to make a fantastic chicken taco salad with authentic spices; and it just so happened that Barefoot Contessa was making a pink grapefruit margarita that day on her show. I took it as a sign of encouragement.

I am pleased to announce that my ethnic eats and drinks were a success, both to my dinner and to my writers block!
