Onions...

Do you like them?


It's funny!  Growing up, my Mom used to drench raw onions in soy sauce and I used to eat them here and there.  However now that I'm grown up, I only eat caramelized onions if at all.  I love green onions and scallions though.  Aren't they one and the same?  At any rate onions are a definite must in stew.  Especially  beef curry stew.  You have to try it!

Deadlines...

Don't you love them?


Sometimes in life you have to make difficult choices and decisions that affect not just your life but others as well. What do you do with decisions like these?  A thought to ponder...

Having said that!  TGIF!  Enjoy your weekend!

Affective Cultural Competence

What is it?


Do you know what perception is?  Everyone has a different perception of what is disgusting to them.  Some people are easily disgusted by homeless people, unclean people, etc.  Know what I mean?  There are workshops available to help you understand why and how you react to certain types of people.

Learning...

is powerful!


And knowledge is power!  So they say...  I remember when I was in grade school, then high school, then college that one day I would no longer have homework; but oddly enough I missed not learning something new.  It's true!  If you don't use it, you lose it!  That includes your brain.  So I went back to school.  There are times that I wish I knew then what I know now.  I would have made so many changes in my life.  However don't ever let not doing something then, stop you from doing something now.  Time goes on and you can't get that back but you can make a change today and keep making changes tomorrow.  Carpe diem!

A favorite drink...

Aw shucks!


Do you know how I like Bundaberg Ginger Beer?  Well, I like their Peachee drink even more and I have been checking out different World Markets for some only to find out recently that that is a seasonal flavor.  Which is why they don't carry them right now!  That explains why I couldn't find it on the shelf.  :(

Fall Back

Daylight Savings


It's that time again!  We set our clocks back an extra hour because it's time to "fall back."  Which actually means that we gain an hour.  Of sleep!  Zzzzzzz...  or activity?  If you are so inclined.

I was listening to a message by Dr. Charles Stanley on kindness.  Are you a kind person?  Kindness is a quality that is timeless and will always be appreciated by others.
