LET'S GET ACQUAINTED

Hi, my name is Barbara, and I'm glad you're here to journey with me. I'm just an ordinary girl following an extraordinary God and learning to seek God's way of living. Fueled by loads of tea, I'm passionate about helping and encouraging you along this journey. It means the world to me that you are here reading my ramblings. I hope you find inspiration to live your best life.  

My Background:

I was born and raised in Ghana, West Africa, where my passion for food and wellness was ignited. I have traveled extensively to satisfy my intellectual curiosity, and am always on a mission to further broaden my insatiable international palate. My interests are varied and I do not like to be put in a box. More importantly, I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart as a young adult. I’ve been trying to walk closely with Him by learning and striving to be who He wants me to be. I look forward to using my knowledge, experiences, opportunities, and God-given talents to carry this blog wherever God leads. 

My Faith

I am a non-denominational Christian who loves God. I believe in the authenticity of the Bible and salvation through Jesus Christ. I believe in God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I believe in God's grace, mercy, and forgiveness. I believe the most powerful word in a Christian's vocabulary is love. I believe the most powerful testimony is a lifestyle that honors and glorifies God in every way - bearing a marked resemblance to Jesus Christ in thoughts, words, attitudes, and actions.

My Hobbies

When I'm not blogging, I’m either reading, in the kitchen, watching home, food, and travel shows, or pottering in my garden. I am passionate about education, food, and hospitality. I consider myself a lifelong learner with an immense love for learning.

My Favorite Things

It is often said that the little things in life make us happy. The smell of home-baked cake. Lying on a fresh bedsheet after it comes out of the dryer. Shopping for shoes. Flipping through the pages of a home and garden magazine. There is something about the earthy smell that rises after a rain shower that I find comforting. Sleeping whilst the rain gently beats against my window. Nature speaks to my heart! One of my favorite places is my local library. I dream of living on a ranch with a home library, and growing fruits, and vegetables. What can I say? have a secret love affair with books and food.

My Food Philosophy

I am a foodie who believes that eating healthy does NOT have to be a full-time job. However, I am cognizant of the fact that our daily choices can affect our health. It's all about BALANCE for me!  If we eat healthy 97% of the time, then for the remaining 3%, we can eat foods that may not be all that good for us. 

Cheers! Here's to faith and life! 

Sincerely Yours,

Barbara
