Storm Peaked
We were going to meet the lineage of teachers. I was both excited and extremely nervous. We were told that they would or wouldn’t accept us into their line and that, if they did, they might ask something of us in return. Be respectful, be humble, be kind. The base of the Mountain, that I …

The Disconnect with our food
I decided to throw out the concept of outlining my blog posts, because for me that is the most painful part of writing. My words tend to flow better when I don’t have to follow a step by step guide on what I want to talk about. So, here ya go, and I’m sorry. …
