my life is coco – NUTS!
there is really nothing I can say
it never ends.
when I think I have things under control
conquered the hurdles & obstacles…
another one pops up
I feel like I am the the hamster in that carnival game…
every time I finally pop up on my feet…
someone comes with a hammer…
& knocks me down.
I truly need to escape…run..hide – get away from the insanity
because I have no idea
how I am actually getting the strength to pop that hamster head up again.
that hammer has no mercy…won’t even give me a day of rest…
literally and I kid you not…
within the last 3 hours…
I have been bopped on the head
HARD
3x….
I am bruised…badly
hurting…praying it to end …
praying for a chance to just get as far away from the hammer that
is making it hard for me…
to keep on going…
but I have no choice…
pop up little hamster
pop up……
Salmon Coconut Balls with my “Tastebuds” Tropical Salad
I had so many plans for the blog for this pre-Shavout season. I had created so many new recipes galore that I was and hopefully still can share with you.
I just don’t have the time or the energy these days to post. Just another thing for me to deal with right now…LOL. But I appreciate all of you who have been following my drama ad have been so gracious in the emails and comments….every kind word sent my way adds to my power bar that gives me the strength to get up – So thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I created this recipe close to 2 years ago & the drama of tastebuds had already started (my excuse as to why I look like dreck in this video!) It is really easy and for those of you who remember my Tropical Salad from the cafe – the Coconut covered salmon balls – just make it all the more fantastic and delicious.
