Among many things...creative, writer & entrepreneur ~ I try my best to also be a Producer and not a Consumer especially during these times. But what I find is that shopping and/or spending money is inevitable during stay-at-home mandate orders. After all, there is nothing to do after re-runs, games, sleeping and snacking. The grocery lines are still wrapped around the corner and supplies are limited. So most people, have turned to online shopping including find myself. Minus the in-ethical practices at Corporate level. I had a very kind and detailed delivery guy call me from Shipt today to say that all of my items were out of stock at the store. My mind scanned the neighborhood for alternative solutions, but then I decided to just be at peace about it and let things be what they are.  That brief moment of virtual connection over the phone lets me know how close we are to automating our entire lives and becoming the way of the Future. One that would think that a Global Pandemic ...

Hi There! Allow me to re-introduce myself.  I'm Kayla You're in the right place. If you like adventure, fun, laughter and exploration.  Each day, I try to make a little brighter by bringing my full self, my whole self to the day.  I am a chronic pain warrior who has found strength in leaning into life with intention this way so as not to miss my opportunities, but instead find POWER in daring to take the DAY. I hope that enjoy yourself. Take a look around. There is sooo much to who I am.  And I wanted to share it with you. Listen, Watch, Learn, Connect, and Grow. This is what and who I am all about. Thank You for going along the journey. If there an questions-- please email or call me: naturalebee@gmail.com 301-882-2113 IG: @na.bee I love engaging in conversation & meeting new people. All my LOVE 

There are so many people I just can't socially distance from. My Bestie, Dominique.  There isn't anything, we haven't done together--she and I know how to have a good time.  Making fun has been the staple for many people in the U.S. since the pandemic. Birthdays, Weddings and other mass events have switched their plans up to accommodate the safety measures of this Pandemic. We've all become thoughtful, decorative and meanful in our approach to hosting events, in a way that reflects who we are as humans, emphasizing the power of simplicity. It's the American way to be flashy, BIG and over the top. Lately the biggest thing about functions like this one have been the Balloon Towers. Times are tough for Travelers, not being able to go on exploits. And yet it's a great opportunity to revisit pictures, set a themed culture week for trying new recipes, dressing up and swagging out in clothes that we hadn't worn before...or learn a new language.  I think the most be...

Late Night Tunes. An Artist at WORK. Music has been such a  WILL Booster these.

 Why Wait? Stay-At-Home and Social Distancing orders have dampened the Spirits of many Americans, especially  us Travelers. It is not easy to stay confined to the same four walls for weeks on end at a time especially when you're used to trekking, hiking, exploring and seeing new and beautiful places around the World. Although us wanderlusters can't take on the Globe right now, this is a great time to explore the local neighborhood, surrounding areas and to discover something new about the place where you live. There is always something to behold--with nature, things are transforming almost everyday. Just look outside, new flowers in bloom, new wildlife after rainstorms come out, new Moons, new Winds.... Life itself regenerates and bring forth with each hour at Sun rise, we just have to open our eyes and see.  While companies/organizations are doing a profound job with virtual experiences, events and performances there is nothing like being "there" to gain a experience...

The best thing about travel....and there are many.  Is re-living the moments. On travel you'll do things that you wouldn't normally do. The adventure, the thrill, the chances and excitement are all there--wherever you are.  There is something that makes you want to make the most of the experience.  Although through technology, having videos and pictures in hand it  is being able to see it all over again. But I do wonder, and sometimes have become concerned that we don't live fully in the moment nor experience life to the fullness because of our cell phones. I believe that there is value in the use of a professional camera, I personally look forward to the moment when I can go and have my photos developed in print.  My family taught me that LIFE is for LIVING, but also that color prints last up to 50 years while Black and White photos last up to 100. There is something to be said about it. After all life will go on and the world will keep spinning but if we can l...

It's crazy how life can bring you full circle.  Even if you've traveled all around the world there is still so much to discover within your own neighborhood--just like Indie.Arie's song says (Little Things). For me, no matter where I go I can also spot the part of a city thats hippie town, where all of the Artists live, dwell and go. While attending school in San Francisco, CA my favorite weekend venture was taking the bus up the hill to Haight Street. There I'd people-watch--the hippies and throwback free people with long stringing hair and their usual friendly large-sized Canine companion just gaping, chilling on the corner. I'd look forward eating at my favorite local cafe "The People's Cafe"which had the bomb quesadillas (when I used eat dairy) and then visit the next door dope boutique by a designer named Audrey. Plenty of color, murals painted on building walls and sidewalks without a sense a time or urgency. Always a good time.  As a young girl,...
