Podcast ‘tings’: Timbs ‘n Teddies (Episode 3)

Timbs ‘n Teddies: Karmics, Soul-Mates, Twin Flames…oh my!!!

The gang (Big Sis, Lil Sis, and our male guest Mr. Jeremy Burris) reconvene for a very special, detailed episode of Timbs ‘n Teddies. Follow the link (click the picture) to hear us discuss spiritual romantic archetypes: karmics, soul-mates, twin flames! Leave us a voice message pertaining to your flow of thought regarding the episode and the subject matter covered if listening via the anchor.fm site. Your message may be chosen as an add-on to the episode.

So we leave you with this… To build the legacy brick by brick with a figurative bare hand – this is the life’s work of our masculine energies. But when those forces come, as they oftentimes do, and your hand is no longer with us, who will know that hand (the grip, the curve, the scars, the power behind it) better than the one who held it? Take a look at the images above. What thoughts come up to the surface? Are the notions of spiritual archetypes something you can believe in? What romantic experiences have you had that frame your opinion and/or belief in them? Do you feel as though you are a twin flame? Let us know… click here to leave us a message and for a chance to have your comments heard on the episode >>> https://anchor.fm/TimbsNTeddiespodcast/message

Small batches…

This week @ shimaheaster.org we made PB ChocoChip cookies…a small batch anyway. The theme of 2020 has no formal title yet; but it does have a FEEL. I think the term small batches goes along with that feel… Allowing for what you want, keeping it close, and not overdoing it. Your creations need only to feed you; if they are blessed enough to branch out toward the collective then…ok. But we mustn’t overlook the blessing of our own senses sensing and filling/feeling…our selves. There’s a full moon in my beloved sign of Cancer this week – the first full moon of the decade! Can you feel it coming? It would explain this inherent desire I have to make something that reciprocally builds me from the inside out. I’m done rambling… Below are pics of the delish, scratch-made PB ChocoChip cookies with the recipe following! Enjoy.

Podcast ‘tings’: Timbs ‘n Teddies (Episode 2)

Episode 2: Spirituality & Romantic Relationships ♥️ 💭💫 Premiering: January 4, 2020 at Noon EST https://anchor.fm/TimbsNTeddiespodcast

Click picture to listen to Timbs ‘n Teddies on Apple Podcast; below, links to additional podcast apps are listed!

On the first episode of 2020, we’re joined by a special male guest who is speaking candidly about his experience at an all-male high school; how this experience helped to shape his spiritual outlook on life in general and within his own romantic landscape. We go deep into the importance of spirituality as it pertains to whom you attract into your space, and how much these mini-relationships (as I like to call them) make a huge impact on your soul and journey. Where are we going romantically as a collective? How does one generation view the other? Where can you go to gain spiritual enlightenment? Are you comfortable within your own spiritual ascension? Does one gain more from the light or the dark? Do you share your birth chart with romantic prospects? Episode 3 will be a continuation, as the trio speaks on spiritual archetypes: karmics, soul-mates, twin-flames…oh my!

The #sistersquad is joined by Mr. J Burris on this very spiritually-driven episode of Timbs ‘n Teddies. Take a listen to his vocal input, you won’t be disappointed. 🤗

Lemonade? Nah, Lemon Poundcake! 🍋 🍰 🍋

I brought in the New Year with my tried and true Lemon Poundcake. Some of us take lemons and make lemonade; I take lemons – scrape the skin and add much more than just water and sugar…watch it rise under heat. As stated many times before, it’s integral for us to CREATE! Baking works for me. As does the written word. I urge you to find those things that come naturally from and to you. Find ‘em and then put them to use & into fruition. Feed yourself from the inside out. No easy task, but we will get the swing of it eventually. Happy New Year folks! May the next decade bring sweet fulfillment!

Loaf pan (double the recipe for a full Bundt):

1 stick softened butter, 1.5 cups sugar – cream together with mixer until fluffy. Add in 3 eggs (one at a time) mixing with each addition of egg. Sit 1.5 cups of flour to the side (together with .25 tsp baking soda and pinch of salt). Also sit .5 cup of heavy cream & buttermilk to the side (I combine cream and buttermilk together to equal .5 cup – you can use ONLY heavy cream if you’d like). Add flour mix and cream/milk mix into the butter/egg/sugar mix beginning and ending with flour mix. Add in zest of one lemon and a few tablespoons of fresh lemon juice (along w/ 1 tsp vanilla extract). Be sure to scrape down the edges of the bowl. Bake in a well greased loaf pan, in a COLD START OVEN (very important) @ 325 degrees until risen, golden brown, and a clean knife comes out when inserted into center of cake (about 45-60 mins depending on your oven). Mix together confectioners sugar, heavy cream and fresh lemon juice to make drizzle – this is all YOU! I’d share how I do it, but honestly it changes with my mood.
