About Me

I live on purpose. Meaning, I have a purposeful life. Nearly 28 years in every branch of the United States Army. Successful business owner, Avid student, Insightful teacher, Staunch Advocate, Fierce competitor and overall Social butterfly. I am a full-time teacher and student, I give as good as I get while continually evolving into what I will actually be known and remembered for once I no longer grace the visible plane. Learning vicariously through the actions of others has served me well, and helped me to get immersed in a vast arena of pursuits over the years. I cherish my internal solitude, while nourishing my social butterfly nature. I simply. . . AM! As said by Yoda. . . Do, or do not do. There is no try. So, Eat live to live well, sing like you're in the shower, dance like no ones watching, love like you've never been hurt and eat the rainbow without counting calories.

Not your ordinary salad

The best thing about a salad is that it is only limited by your imagination.  Yet, to many, a salad is lettuce and tomatoes...

My salads are RAWsome.  and they may or may not have lettuce.  for instance my broccoli salad is made of primarily broccoli and some fruits, seeds and nuts.  My cauliflower same balance and varying mixtures.

So in order to pique your curiosity and your ideas...here is a Dr. Christopher chart of salad variations:
