I picked some #flowers from our #gardens to make a new #bouquet for my Dad's memorial altar. We are doing his one year passing ceremonies on Sunday afternoon.
Today's #homecooked lunch was steamed #okra & fried garlic salt n pepper #prawns. I dipped okra in fermented bean curd sauce(not pictured). Ate both of these dishes with small bowl of steamed jasmine rice(not pictured).

It is against our beliefs to charge any monies for doing any spiritual healing works. If you meet folks who try to charge you monies for spiritual healing works - they're grifting charlatans. My peoples believe we go to demonic dungeons, if we ever charge monies to help people suffer less. We will accept foods. If we have to travel far to deliver our spiritual ceremonies services, we'd like to not be out of pocket for providing free spiritual healing services. We will sleep on your floor.
Whether you lay down one single grain of rice or 100 bricks of gold - you should not be given different treatment but equal humane treatment. Anyone who violates basic code of humanity, needs to work on themselves more & stop trying to buy a free ticket into humanity.
Translation:
Hey, duck babes. Did you come to look for something to eat? Yes. You came to look for something to eat. But I can't give you anything to eat because of bird flu.
This is another one of our smaller #Buddha statues. We painted it gold. We have multiple Buddha statues of various sizes, all over our front & back gardens. We practice Taoism but also adopted a lot of Buddhist practices - they tend to interconnect with many crossovers.
Wishing you all more peace & quiet, beautiful & soul-filled moments in life 💗❤️💗

Views from the dragonboat. From today's practice. I'm with new #ParaDragonboating pilot program, run by #FairwayGorgePaddlingClub on Jutland. Our team name: Storm the Gorge.
My Mom is super supportive of all my parasports endeavors. She used to go to all my para-equestrian competitions. Mom couldn't go to my equestrian training sessions; her past work conflicted. She came to every sledge hockey practice.
Every single parasport I've tried out - has been supported by my parents. Dad would've loved seeing me getting into dragonboating. I tell him about it, every weekend & believe he hears me.
#RiceVermicelli with chives & fried eggs; nuoc cham sauce poured over it. Our breakfast today. We'll likely have it for lunch too, with some Chinese greens clear soup.
Day off. Plans are to get caught up on seeds sowing, get food transplants into beds/bigger pots (2 pea types & loganberries), aerate composts, sift soil & prep pots.
Going for a nature walk nearby, after tasks are done. Lovely sunny morning; it'll be a beautiful day 🌞😎
Today was a wonderful day with helping out two Aunties & hanging out with my Mom. We are becoming best friends, slowly.
Mom took this photo of me, in our backyard, when we got home. We're sending lots of newer family photos overseas this month & this will be one of them.
