Thought ledger + creative endeavors
Vegan lifestyle + travel
Fun plant-based cooking for all!
This could be fun!
Hopefully, you will find something good here.
This is my own little way of sharing so many different things that mean something to me and have helped me in some way to grow. Here in my little part of the world, I can only wish to live a life of meaning and joy. I can't solve all the problems in the world but I'd like to be a part of making people happy, encouraged, seen, heard, inspired, and grateful! There's so much of life to discover so, this could be a wonderful way of remembering it!

THOUGHT LEDGERS + CREATIVE ENDEAVORS
Curiosity has always been my biggest teacher.
All throughout my life, I have turned to my thought ledgers where expressions in writing, compositions, conversations, doodles, and creative visuals have been my refuge.
My entire existence craves for expansion--- through sensorial experiences, emotional immersions, and exploring spectrums of thoughts. I still know very little yet my heart always wants to learn. I would be so grateful if I can always be fortunate enough to share, have discussions, learn, and be in wonder all throughout my life.
I hope it just keeps getting fun too!

kind experiences
I am always so grateful for everything I get to try in my life. As someone who grew up with a background and education focused on service, leadership, and human interactions, I've become so keenly aware of the many details that go into a product, a place, or a service. I am always in awe of spectacular seamless experiences because most people don't understand all of the hard work and components that go into almost everything in our lives.
I also believe in encouragement and improvement--- focusing on solutions to help others.
After all, we can only grow by learning.
I enjoy sharing inputs and my enthusiasm for discoveries as well as learning from others. As a business owner, I know that every cent matters and so I pride myself in never recommending anything I've never tried. The complexities of value for money are so perceptive but hopefully, some consciousness about consumption will help in making better decisions for the future. I can only hope to build awareness, conversations, and constructive feedback as I continue.
Plus, it's also a good practice for mindfulness and gratitude!

TIME TRAVELING THROUGH FLAVORS
Food has such an amazing power to teleport us to a memory, a moment, a lifetime. I always try to recreate or imbibe a certain sensorial experience whenever I cook.
I wish more people understood the value of mindful eating and enjoying food in the present moment.
