the gift of giving...


sena francis hunter was born a week ago to new parents in a daze of amazement & splendor, some healing & a transformation that has this infinite fabric swaddling it.. so delicate, deep and yet a new type of courage is on the block: a mama & a papa.

the offering was a meal but for me it was so much more than that... it steeped inside this womb of freedom, color, passion, music.... yes! i was in the kitchen. what a gift...thank you new family!

welcome sena & welcome autumn!

roasted thyme delicata squash......


zuchini leek & heirloom tomatoe pizza with a corn meal crust



sena salad: pomegranate seeds, white corn, pink grapefruit, beets, arugula & mission figs



buttermilk banana bread with honey (which i forgot...)
 
i used the honey for a honey mint tea i made them to wash it all down with happy bellies!

birth, gratitude, perfect timing


this how to start thing may just stop me so i will probably begin a lot....
and i love this about us. 

i begin with birth as that is the word for today and maybe everyday. the abundance that comes with it, the magical yum inside this miracle. it's an altar of words that i am just dipping the end of my almond biscotti into.... to be coated with that milky frothy passion that only can be described as infinite... that first layer of an idea or dream... to continue breathing through it....the map self, guiding with a deeper light than duracel could ever hope for. 

yes. 
this is where i begin today.  

oh and how very blessed i am to begin.
