Hello

Hello there!


How are you?




 

 
 
 
 
I am so excited to share my many experiences with you; the good, the bad, the comme ci, comme ca moments, my travel experiences, cooking vlogs, food (recipes), gardening tips, health tips, laughter, Ti Tok comedy, my products, memoir and more.

A little about me: 
I have one son, no sisters and two younger brothers I love dearly. Oh yes my loving mom is alive and looking younger than ever, she needs to share her herbal secrets, she's remarkable! She owns a herbal garden, so I have spent a lot of time in the garden, learning about herbs and of course using them. Therefore, I am knowledgeable in that area as well!

One out of seven cats:)

Sometimes life can be a roller coaster with ups and downs, but we need to persevere.  never , ever give up!

Life does not conquer us, we conquer life.
 
 
Life throws us challenges, and every challenge comes with a rainbows and light to conquer it.

 My Art Journey:
 
 






About four years ago I started painting, I realized I had this talent hidden and decided to explore it some more; So I read on art, followed artist on YouTube and practiced drawing and painting on a daily basis; yes I spent a lot of money buying art supplies but it was okay because I was learning something new that I enjoyed immensely. In no time my house was filled with paintings, so I decided to post them on social media and YouTube, but to no avail, nothing was selling. I was not too discouraged though. I decided to try Etsy but sales were very slow. I figured since I am self taught, maybe I needed to work harder, learn more techniques etc. I have been practicing and Yes, I have improved tremendously, hopefully as time goes by I will develop my own unique style of painting and see what happens! But I am not giving up!
 
Most importantly, painting was and is still therapeutic, my escape from everyday life. When I paint I am most happy, engrossed in the moment, watching my painting come to life is the best feeling in the world; I get a sense of  achievement and a confidence boost!

 Memoir:
 
 I do hope my compelling true story will inspire and motivate you to live your life to the fullest no matter your circumstances.  I am a survivor, more of that story in my memoir. If I could do it, you too can conquer anything with courage, faith and a strong will power to stay alive and succeed. 
 
Update: 15 November 2022.  I am still writing the book. I did have a few setbacks because life happens; however, I am still motivated.
 
"The power is in your mind." I am a strong advocate of meditation and mindfulness. '

On that note, "Do your best and enjoy this beautiful world. You deserve it!

Did I mention that I love cooking? Yes, delicious simple homemade meals! 

I am not a chef but I enjoy cooking; the kitchen is my sanctuary, when I’m alone, or with friends and family. I feel confident, comfortable and at ease, a satisfying release, a wonderfully relaxing pastime. Cooking is definitely a way to start the day or end the day creating something delicious and fulfilling. 
 
What is the joy in cooking? 
Learning about food prep techniques, food safety and nutrition; it gives me a chance to be creative with new recipes, experiment with different spices, and techniques. It also gives me the opportunity to learn about different cultures and cuisines, which is very fascinating. Cooking simple meals at home presents a unique therapeutic opportunity.

Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones

  Cherish Every Single Moment With Loved Ones.   Not sure if it is the same for you, but too many people I am acquainted with are dying, friends and family members as well. In my opinion it's very important to cherish every single moment with loved ones, the happy and sad moments. Too many people are always angry and fighting over trivial things. Life is unpredictable and we are just passing through this world, therefore our ultimate goal should be to live in harmony with one another while protecting our inner peace.          YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vECaaNt090 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChezTropic Tik tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cheztropic?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1
