Begonias and Butterflies

It has been over 6 years since my last entry- and so much has changed. I have multiple drafts in my folder that have never made it to print, and I’m not sure why I haven’t posted them. I can only guess it’s because I didn’t know what I wanted to say anymore. The dynamic of blogging has shifted towards the scary act of vlogging. I’m not sure if I am brave enough to jump on that… time will tell.

It’s funny how fast time goes by when you are older. As a teenager it felt as though time was creeping by so slowly, I couldn’t wait to be an adult. Now as a very freshly turned 50-year-old (that counts as an adult in most cases… right?) I feel like life is racing by so quickly I’m barely holding on.

All of those anxieties that I once had over raising my children has now shifted to the equally horrifying anxieties of watching my parents decline (I have many parents, which we can discuss at a later date).

Through it all I am doing my best to maintain my sanity by keeping up with my day to day endeavors. I am going to share with you the truth about handing your life over to the art of baking sourdough bread- and the much easier fermentation of Sauerkraut and Kombucha- both of which are AMAZING for your health. I plan on sharing some of my deepest secrets and hardships… in an effort to show you that you are never alone.

Everyone has a story- and I will attempt to share mine with you in all of its glory and magnificence.
…and of course, the easiest way to get your sourdough starter to grow, because that one was a bitch.

Basically- I am going to take you on this journey with me in an attempt to document the reality of what life is, and not just the social media glory that we all want to present as fact. Unfortunately, life is not all begonias and butterflies.
Wouldn’t it be great if it was?

Stay tuned….
