Zoe is passionate about preserving and creating beauty in the world. She is mostly invovled in serious journaling and doodling in her diary, but she also works on an artistic cookbook project at least once every two days. She believes in slow deliberate work as well as deadlines, because some projects could stretch on forever. Her goal for the year is to change the way in which she relates to others by focusing on loving those around her before they can decide their feelings for her. She also seeks to understand different ways of approaching life without assuming her goggles are the greatest lenses.

The sounds of gunshots ring out across the land as I weep in my bedroom; I am frightened to live in this war zone. No not at all. That sound was just a firework. Itajaí, in truth, is a mostly wonderful safe city. I walk by myself and feel totally in control. The busy busy...

Just a Little Sugar and Butter

Cookies were a big part of my life back home. My mom lives in the kitchen, venturing out rarely to buy ingredients, exercise, and talk with her friends about food. For imageries sake, I will tell you that she is a nice looking lady with a strong body. She has made the same cookie recipe for all the years...

No More Kitten Filled Dreams

I like to dream. Not necessarily realistic dreams, but happy cushy ones where I am sitting on a couch in a dim flat in West Sussex with a few small grey kittens decorated with blue bows around their necks and drinking tea while speaking with Beatrix Potter as the rain pitters softly on the morning glories creeping up the...
