Brighton Eats Delicious Cake


Brighton, as seaside town tucked between the South Downs and the English Channel, is a fabulous place to each cake!


In every window as your stroll along the Laines, you find wondrous displays of delicious edibles.


Fresh juices, organic salad bars, tasty and healthy snacks of all varieties are to be seen and enjoyed in Brighton. 


42 is a great green juice locale as is You Juice. After a nutritious superfood shake or smoothie, why not a slice of decadent homemade cake!


I just can't get over how scrumptious the cakes on display look. Chocolate, Carrot, Chesse, you name it. Cake in every category. Vegan. Gluten-free. 


For a little cleanse post indulgence, try an Himalayan Pink Salt gargle with the high grade stuff sold in 42's quaint shop.

  Oh, I did I mention cake. Definitely get a slice... or two...


Just take a walk along the North Laines and you'll find all this deliciousness. Have a sandwhich or croissant or perhaps, you fancy a lemon bar. Go for it. After all, you're on vacation, right? In one of the most beautiful and bountiful cities in the world. 


Brighton, UK.


P.S. Once you get your goodies, head down to the beach and cozy up with a picnic lunch by sea.

Sagrada Familia


The spectacular grace of Gaudi and his surreal artistry is the sole reason for my love of Barcelona.


The Sacred Family Iglesia is astoudning in its magnitude and beauty and makes for an enchanting experience pre-sunset.


The colors. The silence. The wonder of such a creation begun over 100 years agos. This is La Sagrada Familia.


I am in awe of the perfect alignment of the structure and humbled by the often overlooked brilliance of humanity in expressing God.


Devotion to divine Truth can stir the heart deeply and enable one to master seemingly formidable tasks.


The church external is always but a symbol of the sacred space within. Massive edifices no matter how illustrious can never approach the grand infinite in each of us. 


Gaudi was truly a genius and I am spurred on in my own art to be bolder, grander, fearless.


Everywhere in Barcelona his influence can be felt and there is such a creative phenomenon at play.


Come to Barcelona, this eclectic city in Spain and bring your journal, your sketchbook, your open heart. The streets are paved with color, energy and verve.

Malaga


A glorious town abundant with pleasures, Malaga is.


Art, nature and the sea at your fingertips.


At every turn one finds some wonder, some simple joy. 


The colors, the light, the aromas of Spanish cuisine all serve to entice to en-trance.


A golden hue transforms every form.


And flowers spill forth like waves.


The blue of the sky casts an otherworldly benevolent glow upon the place.


And the ancient stone-masonry architectural style transports travelers back in time.


Alive with modern indulgences too, La Malagueta is a global adventurer's paradise.

Mijas


Mijas my love. My dear pueblo magico. So filled with sublime pleasures, you are a balm to the soul. Opening up your light soaked view to embrace weary travelers on their journey. 


I adore your purity, your grace, your essence, mi Mijas, my love. 


Yours is a radiant gleaming edifice upon a fecund, fertile land. I salute you my dear perfect place.


With your tiny lanes leading to nowhere and everywhere, I skip along the pathways of white brick and cobblestone, immersed in the simple joy of being.


This little magic spot on earth that you are is my wishing well. I send out a call from here to everywhere: Be your magic self!


Be outstanding naturally!


Be glorious with ease!


Be beautiful and free!


Let your mystery unfold slowly and gracefully for all seekers to behold.
