Holidays to balance out your hot and sticky summer! Thank heavens, too -- we all need something other than air conditioners, swimming pools, and ice-cold lemonade to keep us afloat as we roast. (Though honestly, none of those are all that bad.) Nothing for us Pagans this month, but still plenty to go around! A very happy holiday to anyone observing this month. :) Like the ones in February … [Read more...]
Friends, Families, and Fantastic News!!
9 July 2012 By 2 Comments
It was the wee hours of the morning when I received the text. I didn't process a lot of what was going on, just that it was storming out and that the blinding light from my iPhone rivaled the intermittent lightning outside. I rubbed my eyes, bleary from sleep, and rolled away from the light to wrap my arm around Matt. I don't remember much from that night, but when I finally saw the picture … [Read more...]
Food Allergies: All about anaphylaxis
6 July 2012 By 1 Comment
As a food blogger (among other topics), especially a "specialty" food blogger, the most disappointing and potentially limiting thing to have is a food allergy. Tree nuts are typically a huge part of any vegetarian diet, but I'm one of those lucky people who gets an anaphylactic reaction to tree nuts -- pecans, cashews, walnuts, almonds, and so forth are all out of the question. It actually kinda … [Read more...]
Guest Post: 5 Delicious Vegetarian Food Recipes by Michael Sandoval
5 July 2012 By 7 Comments
I was recently approached by Michael Sandoval of BetterCater.com, based out of Daly City, California, for The Coexist Cafe to host a couple guest blog posts for him. Since Matt and I are still recovering from Canada, the Maryland power outage, and Independence Day festivities, this request couldn't have come at a better time! (And yes, I know I still promise you those posts. That's what the … [Read more...]
The Passport Saga
19 June 2012 By 6 Comments
Yeah yeah, I know, bad blogger and all that. It hasn't been for bad reason, though. Between the Board of Directors for my company visiting for part of the week, an audit shortly after that, and several other things to juggle, it's just been a madhouse here! I'm thankful for a brief breath of air, but it's short-lived as we prepare for this week: In-laws came into town yesterday, family wedding on … [Read more...]
Bad blogger! Bad!
4 June 2012 By 7 Comments
I haven't been here in a month, which makes me sad for so many reasons. My head hangs in shame as I realize how much time has passed and how many awesome things have happened since the last time I've updated. There have been things I've wanted to say, but I admit that I've been a bit lazy about writing them down. It wasn't until I got an email from a loyal friend and blog follower that she's … [Read more...]
Green thumbs and green stones.

We got a letter last week from the HOA about our "dead foliage" in the front yard. Apparently, the HOA was none too pleased that, in a fit of boredom, Matt decided to rip up a few of them and leave them out to dry, ha. So we took advantage of that letter and the nicer weather yesterday by revamping half of our front yard... and by "we", I mean "I", as he readily admits that I'm the brawn to his … [Read more...]
A Personal Update
3 May 2012 By 16 Comments
I know I don't do many of these, mostly because I want this blog to focus on spirituality (both for myself and as a whole) and food (because YUM), but there are some times when, as I read about your hopes and dreams and personal lives, I feel like sharing my own with you guys. This is one of those times. :) As I'm probably going to cover a lot of topics in one blog post, I'm including links … [Read more...]

Happy Pagan Coming Out Day! :D Pagan Coming Out Day Every year, the day after Beltane, comes a time when you get to come out in all your Pagany glory. I've asked y'all to share your coming-out stories on my Facebook page, and as promised, below is a survey that you can share with everyone as well. According to PCOD: Coming out to someone is a decision only you can make and it’s a decision … [Read more...]
Happy Beltane! :)
1 May 2012 By 3 Comments
To those in the Northern hemisphere who celebrate, a very happy and fun-filled Beltane to you! And to those brothers and sisters to the south, happy Samhain!! Since Matt and I will be out celebrating his favorite Sabbat (lol) with a bunch of friends and good drinks tonight, and considering I have work today, I don't have a great amount of time for a large Beltane post. Therefore, I'm going to … [Read more...]
