@soulsings
@soulsings
That sounds pretty tasty
, want to share some?
@scarletPear1945 sure here are the pancakes. lol If they are all gone you will have to make for yourself
Here is the recipe thread feel free to share your own recipes!
@soulsings
Love it, and thanks
@soulsings
Love it, and thanks
@soulsings
Nice soul, doing good pancakes and not just pancakes takes practise. Blueberries are one of my favorite fruits
Another thing you can be proud of, if I may add, is that you are an exceptional mentor and support this community in an amazing way.
@amiablePeace77
Facing a fear and making the decision that what would be would be. It was a hard decision and a scary one. But I did it and things came out fine.
@scarletPear1945
Aweseome! It truly takes courage to face your fears, something you can be very proud of. The more we face our fears and do not avoid them the more we can achieve our highest potential.
finished xmas shopping long ago
@Dancersoul
Seems you planned your shopping very well to prevent getting caught up in the hussle and bussle of x-mas shopping.
My proudest accomplishment?..
well I still have. Week to come up with something
@lovingLychee115
How does coming to this site to support yourself make you feel?
Taking the year as a whole, my proudest accomplishment for 2019 is receiving citizenship in a country not native to me or my parents.
@azureBalloon6704
That is so awesome and again Welcome.
You're sweet @scarletPear1945 :-) Thank you.
@azureBalloon6704
What are somethings you would like to do here?
Do you celebrate Christmas?
I think having the courage to change the course of your alls life in a strange country says yall are very courageous and not afraid to step out into the deep waters. I love it. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a very Prosperous New Year.
Thought long @scarletPear1945 on your questions and will now burden you with the weight of the answer 
sorry, but you asked 
I keep a lot of winter holidays in my heart; but, in the spirit of your question, I wondered, "how would I celebrate Christmas this year (and in this day and age)?"
What gifts would I bring if the pilgrimage were this year? Which would you bring?
If we honour the idea that Christmas also lives within us, what gift do we bring ourselves on the holy day?
Gold for a king; frankincense for an immortal deity; myrrh for purification in mortality.
Incense is easy to come by. Gold I can't afford. And with regards to mortality and purification, the only idea I had was to purify the mind, body, and home as much as possible and for as long as possible.
7 Cups helps to cleanse the mind. Proper food, drink, and exercise, in perfect moderation, honour the body. Elbow grease and calm take care of the house. ... Wouldn't it be worthwhile if I could live these gifts all year long? (I'm not that strong.)
Going beyond the self, 7 Cups also helps us give to others in a low-cost way that is meaningful to the receiver, and I personally see value in that. So, I was thinking of doing a Listener Internship (?).
P.S. @scarletPear1945
Happy holidays to you also
@azureBalloon6704
Congratulations! Getting citizenship in a foreign country is not easy and I guess you had to go through a lot of administrative procedures.
