A Blog about life and living through my life experience and perspective. I am a writer, singer/songwriter childhood savant musician...Trying to find my niche and stake my place in society...
The easiest most delicious peach cobbler I have ever had! This is a keeper and I will be making this a few times a year.
I bought (4) 15.2 oz cans of peaches. Heavy syrup peaches are the best.
Drain 2 of the 4 cans thoroughly. The syrup from the other 2 cans is the perfect amount of syrup that will create a caramel sauce.
*Add all 4 cans to a 13×9 inch baker. *Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon on top of the peaches. *Sprinkle a small amount of sea salt over the top.
*Sprinkle a box of cake mix evenly on top of your peaches and pat it down with your clean hand. Do not mix. Cake mix will be dry. You can use a yellow cake mix. I however used this and it is absolutely delicious!
* I melted 3/4 cup of butter (1 and 1/2 sticks of butter). *Pour the melted butter slowly on top of the cake mix. Cover the entire top with the melted butter. I’ve also seen people cut the butter into slices and place uniformly on top of the cake mix.
*Bake the cake for 50-60 min in a 350 degree oven.
Baking for about an hour gave this cobbler a golden crust as well as a perfect caramel peach sauce! Oh my it’s good!
I plan to serve this to friends, with French Vanilla Ice-Cream.
The sky was full of dramatic clouds and color! Oh my goodness I don’t know that I’ve seen anything so spectacular in the sky. This in particular was almost chilling. Eerie for sure! The black and orange like fire was surreal! I almost felt as if I wasn’t seeing a sky of earth. This was taken the day before the full moon.All of these photos were taken from my driveway. In the Phoenix suburb of Ahwatukee.
The beautiful sunset felt ominous and suggestive of change to me. Like a change happening for many, not just me. A change that will alter our perspective and how we see the world. It’s just the sense I had while looking at the sky. The winds of change are coming! I’ve said with great conviction this year that “this is an interesting time to be alive!”
On a more personal note, my 35 year old daughter is moving to Texas next week. She and her kids will be joining her significant other there. I’m so sad! I want her to be happy of course. This has been planned for months but now she actually is leaving.
The reality for me is how small my world is becoming. My husband isn’t working anymore and that has been incredibly difficult! He is a difficult person! Extremely negative and angry. It’s absolutely miserable. I feel like I’m on the shortest leash with a ton of eggshells to walk upon. Exhausting, disheartening and so not how I want to grow old!!!
This “until death do you part”, expectation is a trap! Marriage can be sadistic! The structure of marriage is power over as I see it. My rose colored glasses were literally knocked off my face a long time ago. Darn it! I was a real romantic for most of my life. I navigated from a place of love. I still do with most people but oh man I’ve been tested for a very long time now. Is this character building?
Anyway, I’m reminded to meditate, manifest and look for the beauty of life. My mission here is to impart love and joy!
The lyrics in Silent Lucidity suggest and remind me that I’m not alone. Someone is surely watching over me.
Hush now, don’t you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You’re lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day, your dream is over Or has it just begun?
There’s a place I like to hide A doorway that I run through in the night Relax child, you were there But only didn’t realize and you were scared
It’s a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension
will be watching over you (I) am gonna help you see it through (I) will protect you in the night (I) am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity
I can’t do this Visualize your dream, record it in the present tense Put it into a permanent form If you persist in your efforts, you can achieve dream control How’s that then, better? Dream control, dream control Help me
If you open your mind for me You won’t rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once, you learn You’re safe from the pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream’s alive, you can be the guide but
will be watching over you (I) am gonna help you see it through (I) will protect you in the night (I) I’m smiling next to you
This political climate has become utterly ridiculous and I am choosing to remove myself from politics.
I refuse to get caught up in the hatred and disrespect that having an opinion seems to create. You will not hear anything from me on the subject of politics! I refuse to be a player or a vessel for contention.
Last election 4 years ago, was an utter shit show! All the bad feelings around humanity was disheartening! I’m not going to think about it. I’m sure not going waste energy trying to impose an opinion.
These influencers and celebs who have a large following are ridiculous! Why the need to bash one or the other party? Why?! Is it necessary to be exclusive rather than inclusive?! When I see the faces of the outspoken celebrities, I only see the hate. Spoiled brats who have to have their way! Not a good look.
Anyway, a thought came to me last week-“The best we ever feel, is when we are creating. Let’s do more of that!”

I had a lot of fun creating this week. Here are a few links to my new TikTok posts.
This mug is from what I consider to be my hometown. I lived on the central coast for 36 years!
Morro Bay is likely foggy and chilly this time of year. A stark contrast to the 114 temps we have been experiencing here in Phoenix. I long to have a small condo there for a summer reprieve- A peaceful quiet place on the central coast of California. Beautiful big rock, Morro Rock. Nice sand dunes to climb. Cool ocean breeze. Sand dollars and shells to pick up. Long walks along the surf. Walking barefoot in the sand. Humidity! Moist air. Frizzy, curly hair… well thank god for hair product lol.
Clam Chowder and my favorite Fish & Chips… The Embarcadero, sweet souvenir shops galore. Sea Otters and Seals awwwwww!
