// Breakfast Beginnings: Whole Fruit with Yogurt (Part II)

Because there will be days when we will have to be up and out the door earlier than usual, and also in praise of a meatless Monday or meatless day, giving our bodies a little animal meat reprieve each week. We want something quick and delicious, and filling, and also healthy, to replenish and keep our energy levels up... and most likely in that order too. A simple one we can make overnight sounds even more luxurious. This month, with embracing the new year, new foods, and new blends, I switched my yogurt game for one that has less sugar, less fat, and more protein per serving with...

// WHAT Women Create & More...

More magazines! And so much to love about them -- the flush of colours, designs, and learning about new creatives and what they love doing behind-the-scenes, and in their small scale or larger business. I discovered this new-to-me mag recently (while in the checkout line, as usual), and was instantly inspired. Preview uploaded for some weekend surfing pleasure.

If ever stranded on an island (and we'll say a beautiful island of course, as that's always the ones in my dreams), I know I'd be able to find my balance with three things: 1) catching good quality fish from the sea, 2) an unlimited supply of fresh ice cream (make that chocolate ice cream for the win) from a tucked-away cave, close walking distance west on the island (don't ask me why west, but I think it's because that's where the wild things are), and 3)...

And this is where we wrap up the year with blogging life for 2019. How has your year been? It's that time of reflection again. Back in May, I remember saying to my mom one night on the telephone that I didn't think I was going to make it to the end of the year (and that I wasn't even worried about it)... She stopped me mid-sentence and said, "No darling, death doesn't come that easy." Such consolation(!) I thought to myself back then. Well, here we are, with a few more days left on the calendar for 2019... Thank you for stopping by, and reading, and all your comforting words, prayers, and support, while enjoying some quiet blogging entertainment along the way...
