About FOODESSA ... ONCE UPON A TIME...

Once upon a time, through moments of solace...

FOODESSA...gloriously came to life.

Here's the story that may answer the curiosity of some as to how the Food Fairy Countessa came about.

In the very early

morning hours...I find myself in a very peaceful

state of mind.

My aromatic coffee

by my side
and soft music in 

the background, I begin to

surf the web.

I avoid anything work related.

I call these well deserved 'me' moments.

I convince myself that there's plenty of

time for those responsibilities to creep

once again into my daily routine.
For now, these moments are precious

I consider myself a fairly happy, content person.

I gratefully do live with the attitude of

 the ' glass is half full ' mantra.

However, lately, I started feeling like I was 

not tapping into something personally meaningful.

Throughout the last few months I've had a chance to view

many journals by some very talented bloggers.

Some of which portrayed a very genuine,

deeply rooted passion about their chosen subject.

I got a glimpse
into a world that

could somehow provide
an outlet for my
curious, dedicated

and creative nature.

This, may just be
finally the place for
contributing, sharing
my discoveries
and expressing
my viewpoints.

Whatever these bloggers stand for, it matters to them.
If others want to show their appreciation...
it tends to fuel more greatness.

This felt right to me...just my kind of place.

This community has served as a great informative and enlightening outlet for many.

Lately, however, I have been the fortunate one.
I found myself benefiting immensely.

So, there I was with so much to say...so many ideas and discoveries to share.

Maybe, I too, should start journaling?!?

Therefore, I figured...why not live vicariously through an alter ego such as a
‘ Fairy Countessa ’ of sorts.

After all, from

when I was a child, I have very

strangely had visions of myself
from the Medieval

Renaissance times.

Fairies have also figured in this

strange, although, very intriguing
part of my life.

I can no more explain this phenomena to myself...

just as well as accepting with absolute

certainty how we were all created.

This may somehow explain my odd interests as to

why I've been drawn to fairies all my life.

For as long as I can remember...

I've been collecting images...

more precisely artistic paintings

and brilliantly drawn illustrations of fairies.

Their expressive and extremely colourful auras

embrace the qualities I look

for in people.

This divulgence may seem very strange to some...

however, the joyful, light-hearted qualities that

Fairies seem to possess are definitely the same

qualities I relate to when surrounding myself.

In addition...

Fairies are usually

depicted within gorgeous

garden surrounding.

That may explain

my fascination with

the mini botanical garden

I created and nurtured

many years at our

Bed and Breakfast.

 

Within my tight circle of friends and family...

I am counted on for always scoping out the top spots for

anything specifically FOOD...DECOR or TRAVEL related.

My great little discoveries do not stay secret for long...

I always can't wait to share my little joys of life.
Therefore, I figured...why not enlarge my sharing capacity with all of you.

***

No sooner do I begin surfing several subjects of interest...

I find myself generally attracted and circling

around the one topic that unites all my interests...

...the fascinating universe of FOOD.

Hence, the delightful

birth of... FOODESSA

Fairy Food Countessa
to the incredibly

fascinating
culinary world.

Through my passion

and quest for

everything
food related...

why not want to feel 
like a ‘ Countessa ’

on her culinary journey.

This type of journaling  will thankfully give 
me access to a platform where I may freely express myself and share with others.

I want to give myself the leniency to search and write about anything that

peaks my interest.

The interactions I will soon have through

acquaintances in our cyber world will undoubtedly

prove fruitful and adventurous.

I never, however want to let myself get carried

away whereas my time is taken away from my

responsibilities and precious time with my loved ones.

I desire to continue respecting the life balance I require of myself.

Therefore, I do not want to place any

type of pressured expectations.

I will move with

the flow of life

and see where

it leads me.

Please join me in this

journey of pure joy and delight.
