Welcome to Poor Girls Pantry

How many of us wander into the kitchen often repeatedly opening the refrigerator and pantry doors hoping for ingredients to magically appear only to continually discover the same meager findings? Life often hands us circumstances that test our character and stretch our budgets. Posessing an ounce of creativity and a smidgin of sensibility makes all the difference in the world when desperately digging for new and interesting ways to disguise and decorate ground beef.

I recall incrediously the many times my mother magically materialized mouthwatering meals from meager findings for five children on a modest budget. I recently found myself tapping into her talented techniqure uncovering a treasure that I had not realized I posessed. Instead of pondering the potential for something more, I began to find quality in the questionable. These modest times had inadvertenly taught me to be incredibly resourceful and I embraced my unique ability to make something out of nothing. So, giving tribute to a remarkable Mother who taught me to see beyond the subltle, let us embarq on a journey together as I ponder my peculiar gift and open a passage into the poor girls pantry.

Splendid Superiority



January 15, 2010

We all have something inside that ignites our spirit.  I call it splendid superiority.  We find it when we least expect it,  sometimes not even grasping that a soul stirring situation silently transpired.  Situations present themselves, our innate survivor mechanisms surge, supressed splendid superiority reveals itself and suddenly the problem is solved....show over.  Splendid superiority reigns! ;) 

Some of the most amazing creations have resulted from the inspiration which comes from these soul stirring moments. Recently some of my splendid sista's shared some of their stirring stories as they uncovered their own ability to peer past their present problem and ponder the possibilies beyond the peril.  They found that there is  power in pursuing the plentiful possibilities life presents.  There is superior strength that is gained from the pursuit and glorious grace that is generated in the undertaking. It is this grace which governs the  groundwork for future endeavors.  

 Poor Girls Pantry was established as the result of a soul stirring state of affairs.  Painstakenly obvious became the growing desire to proclaim the ability within, of which we are each equipped, to posess peace.  Sanctioned by the splendid superiority straining against adversity, the writer inside sprang to life fueled by the postively poignant power gained from hurdling the seemingly ceaseless obstacles life has continually presented.  The search for self sustenance surprisingly paved the way to simplicity.  Perceived peril perished under the wave of positive power the creative energy emitted.  Surprising tranquility emerged giving way to the glorious grace that guides, generating a beacon of strength sustaining and saturating the soul.  Silent, splendid superiority significantly reigns within us all.  Give yours permission to SHINE.
