Brunch on a whim.

Even though we see each other every Sunday we don’t get to hang out that much outside of church. Making no excuses this time, we all found our earliest common free hour and decided to do brunch. Danisha (bottom left) suggested we try Kiss the Barista and that was that. Funny enough, I have passed by this place multiple times because it’s only a ten minute walk from my house but I have never tried it out myself.

While we were there we ran into Nate (top left), who also goes to our church and lives down the street from me and Angelique (top right). I’m glad that we all found time to pencil each other in. I love being around these girlies. They are so kind, funny, and warm be near. And that does include Jessica (middle left) and Mai (bottom right) even though they were not mentioned earlier.

So, if you’re ever in the Sans Souci area go check out Kiss the Barista. Great service, great food, and the view is just amaze - it’s right on the beach.

Stick around for more pictures of our girl’s afternoon out.

This is my idea of putting off homework -making a tiny collage of Tani’s birthday night. Now back to the more important matters at hand.

Mordecai and Hegai say what?!

You know that point a the book where it’s getting so good you imagine yourself to be the character? Yeah, that just happened to me.

Imagine this: So you’re going to the king of your land and your given this one chance to impress him and make him like you, right? You’re allowed to wear anything, say anything, and do anything to get his attention. You have nothing planned out and the best advice you got comes from two old guys. One of them is kinda like your dad, which if you ask me cool advice and dads don’t really coincide. The other is some guy you just met in the king’s palace - can I say stranger danger?

This is the part of the story where you can either freak out or apply the “stay calm and carry on” rule. Let’s say you go on with your first choice. Where will that get you? A one way ticket to nowhere with some complimentary stress pimples just in time for your meeting with this said king. Or you can do like the girl in the story and listen to the two old geezers because their plans might just be crazy enough to work.

If this story sounds a little familiar it’s because I’m reading the book of Esther. (Jesus, Imma interrupt you here and say, Esther is one of the best books of all time. Just sayin’) Look, you can see from the picture below - daily bible study. Plus, not to mention a perfect excuse for a huge cup of coffee and some blackberry jam with butter on toast! Yum!

Anyway, let me not digress anymore. Why I’m writing this post is to point out what we fail to realize: In the midst of life-changing moments (*cough cough* like meeting a king or any other grand things in your life) grand and great gestures are not always a necessary response. God has given you what you already need to go forth. In Esther 2:16 it says, “she won the favor of everyone who saw her”, meaning that before she even said or did anything she was highly favored. Don’t think you need to hype yourself up, change who you are, or check out the competition to one-up them. Bring yourself and nothing else. Be simple. You dah-ling are more than enough.
Plus, I like to think that being simple = no pimple.

Left to our own devices my cousin (Angelique - left),  our friend (Tani - middle), and I decided to make lunch for Easter Sunday! After a few minutes of foraging through the pantry we found some penne pasta, mince meat, and red sauce.

The outcome, needless to say, moto bene! A little butter, some sprinkled natural cheddar cheese and our tastebuds couldn’t be happier.
