Monday April 15th~

Sometimes music is the only 

medicine the heart and soul needs...

 All ready for the new week.  Got in late yesterday

 from the Tampa Bay Blues Festival, but ready to face the

 new week.  Always a good time at the Blues Festival.

We sure got to listen to a lot of good music 🎸.

Sniff must have not had an easy evening last night. 

 He's now recharging with another of those catnaps he so loves.

Arvid and I had a hot day yesterday at the Tampa Bay Blues Festival.

  More about the festival tomorrow.  For now a good week to all.

There are many opportunities in every single day,

 and Monday is the perfect day to seize them all...

Monday April 11th ~

 Every day I become a better person.
  Not for anyone, but for myself..

Back to the "grind" as they say.  New week begins. 

 Time to get this day rolling, and what better way than a

 nutritious breakfast.  Arvid's favorite meal of the day.

It's the one meal Arvid does not rush to finish.

What awaits us this week is anyone's guess.  Sometimes 

that's good, other times not so much in one's favor.

  Life.  You just have to roll with the punches.

Yesterday was a perfect summer like day.  

The rest of the week is not going to be really cold,

 but rain all day today and most of the week. 

 So far my flowers have survived the frost. Hopefully 

they will survive this rain and wind we will be having.

It makes a big difference in your

 life when you stay positive...

Narima's Cuisine....

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination...

You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction

My sister, Narima has started up her own business and thankfully she is doing really well.  With her hard work and determination her energy level is endless and her desire to succeed in her business knows no limits.  With all she has accomplished both Arvid and I are extremely proud of her.  Having 3 kids, a dog and a husband to cater to can sometimes make life very hectic, yet even so she is always positive and always ready to do the best and most for her customers.

About Me (Narima):

Mom of 3 awesome babies, married to the love of my life, always with my head in a cloud of dreams. I grew up surrounded by a diverse family gathered in mom's kitchen, and have always had a passion for delicious food.
After waiting ten years for the right time to live out my foodie fantasies, I decided it's either now or never!

So, here I am trying to pass on my LOVE and my PASSION into every dish I create. Right here in my Loudoun County back yard.

Narima's Cusine makes everything from scratch and only uses the freshest of ingredients.  Also you can visit her website at http://www.narimascuisine.com/ and order directly from there if you so wish.  My sister has set very high goals on herself and little by little we have seen her accomplishing them.  To her I say...I love you and you know that I am your number one fan.  Keep doing what you are doing because for sure it is working.  As someone said....Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.  Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts...

until next time...
