Hi Sara.
I envy you, finding a man who can cook more than hamburgers and fried eggs :-) My mom used to cook something I’d call hamburger surprise… and we all loved it too.

Davina — I liked the picture. It looked like the tree was floating in the air. It is a very Zen picture!

Sadly, I do not cook. You’d have ask my partner, JC, about his creative pursuits. The best I can do is my own version of hamburger surprise, which fortunately my girls loved when they were kids:~)

Hi there Jodi.
Gee thanks! My pleasure to share. There’s something joyful about the word “doodle” isn’t there? :-) We are our worst enemy so it seems — I like how you’ve made it important to just be with the expression of your art rather than the ego’s expectations.

Hi Hilary.
Mmmm, butter makes everything better! What were they thinking when they invented margarine? Ew!

Hi Robin.
Yes I do tend to be a little bit of airy fairy! :-) You know, you’re right — that sketch does have the same flavour as the Loving Pulse theme. Too bad I wasn’t embodying a loving pulse when I was “trying” to draw it – ha, ha.

Hi Cath.
Yes, I changed the tagline in August (if my memory serves correctly). I think I’m slowly closing the gap between me and who I am as a Life Coach. No matter how much studying a person can do, it takes “sensibility” to see what they have to offer and cultivate that.

LMAO… You sawed through a squash! Now I CAN see that – ha, ha, ha, ha :-)

Wow Davina – I love your drawings. Squash can be a PITA but the taste is worth it. I used a saw on it once, when the knife wouldn’t work.

Did you just change your tagline, or am I late noticing? I like it.

Hi Davina – I love the way you have floated from one thing to the next in this (in a good way) – so light and airy! Your beautiful second drawing reminds me of your theme for Loving Pulse – and the froggy is gorgeous. And can you go wrong with garlic and butter?

Love it .. lump of butter in the middle!

Thanks – Hilary Melton-Butcher

Hi Davina,
I really enjoyed your entry. You write beautifully! Lately I have had this strong desire to doodle, and integrate the things I have learned about joy into the doodles. I recently bought some copic markers and have played around here and there. Like you, I get a little frustrated that my art isn’t as beautiful on the page as it is in my imagination. But I find if I walk away from it, when I come back, I think it’s actually pretty good. And I’ve decided that it’s more important that I am expressing myself in this manner, because I can feel very strongly that something is trying to get out, or come to the surface or whatever, so if the doodles look like scribble scrabble, I’m okay with that! As for you, your sketches are both beautiful and completely zen-like. Way to go! Keep at it! Your dinner sounded fantastic, too!

Hi Janice.
Yep, it’s me. I’ve been using a new avatar on Twitter for a couple of months and finally got around to changing it on my blogging profile. I’d be happy to show you how to make your gravatar. I’ll email you and walk you through it.

Thank you for such wonderful feedback. I don’t recognize myself — these last few months something has changed and I like it, I like it! :-) Thank you for confirming that it’s not just me.

That is neat synchronicity about the post you’re working on. I have to chuckle about that. I can’t wait to see your art! I really admire artists and singers and musicians. There’s something special about channeling your energy in that way — to be born with such gifts and not use them is sad. I think it’s about appreciating your passion and actually using it. That goes for cooks too. You can invite me over any day for Greek food!

Hi Julie.
:-) Thank you! I know exactly what you mean about sketching being on par with lounging with a paperback. It’s very relaxing… that is when you’re not worried about the end result that is — heh, heh. Your squash story made me laugh. I can’t visualize sweet, gentle Julie whacking a poor squash :-)

Hi Patricia.
I have actually heard of the Gluten Free Pantry, but don’t recall having bought any of their products. I buy a lot of Amy’s products and Glutino. In fact, Glutino has some pretty good English muffins and bread that I buy… more often in the winter though.

Hi Chris.
Well, stick around because there are more culinary descriptions to come… with PICTURES too! :-) Fasten your seat belt.

@Patricia, you’re a wealth of information. Thank you! :)

You have a knack for hunger-inducing descriptions of food. My pursuits in the kitchen are limited to wild rice and arroz con pollo (or arroz sin pollo for vegetarians) but maybe your culinary writings can help expand my horizons.
