Adventure/poem: Salt Lake City Farmers Market

Dear Readers;

Chaz and I had an amazing time at the farmers market this past Saturday. It was a nice change to the depression that has been ruling my life these past months. I had a chance to not only see some amazing things, but to look up from the ground and to talk to people. Sometimes I think we get stuck looking at the ground and missing the amazing sights, sounds and energy around us. We all get stuck in that rut sometimes but we all have the ability to get out of it too. When you feel like you may be fitting into that category of melancholy perception take this challenge; just look up and find a few things that make you smile. It may take a minute but this change of mind is just like anything else and it takes practice. Sometimes a good friend to give you a nice push is nice too. :)

So here are my looking up moments from the Saturday farmers market:

Gratitude Of The Day: a day of rest, fun, education, and wonderful people that I got to share with my Chaz at the Salt Lake City Farmers market this past Saturday. I love date days.

Kasthuri's Cupcakes

Its nice to find people who are passionate about life and their work. And some of the most passionate people I met today just happened to be in a line of work that I am particularly fond of. CUPCAKES!
The unique thing about these cupcakes is that Kasthuri understand the need for everyone, no matter what ailments they have, to be able to enjoy the simple joy of a frosting topped mini wonder. She has made it possible for those who suffer from gluten allergies to enjoy her work just like the rest of us. These cupcakes are also 1/2 the regular amount of sugar you would find in a grocery store cupcake. Her flavor creations are to die for; such inspirations as Orange blueberry and spiced chai. Yup, its official; I loved this booth and all the little mini wonders of sweetness it contained. If you are interested in contacting Kasthuri for an organic and amazing treat or an event, you can find her at

Thank you so much to everyone who was willing to let me feature them on my blog today and for everyone who was so wonderful to share their passions with me. And to my readers; get out there and do something fun! You don't have to spend a lot of money or doing something extreme to have a blast and see some amazing things. You just have to get off the couch and experience life. Look up and love what you see. Have a good day everyone. Love you all!

Artfully Yours,

Look Up

Its easy to miss life around

When you're busy starting at the ground

So if you want the half full cup

Find the courage to look up.

See the people running round

You would see them looking down.

Notice how they rush and scurry

Always in a flush and flurry.

Kind of funny if you sit

And watch them for just a little bit.

See the sky of blue and gray

Be grateful for another day

There is so much to look forward too

But that perception stands on you.

You can look up and find grand and sweet

Or keep looking down at rocks and feet.

What is your perceptions stance?

So where will you direct your glace?
