Rebecca E. Parsons Up a Tree…

no mission is motivating until it is personal…

REP in Dear Kate undies

Storyteller. Wordsmith. Amateur Photographer. Rebecca E. Parsons is an unpretentious Renaissance woman with eclectic sensibilities. She proclaims herself to be a ‘possibilitarian’ with a cup overflowing outlook. She lives between the ocean and a woodland marsh on a tiny island, just close enough to a big city to enjoy its culture, yet far enough away to mollify her disdain of traffic. Motivational Speaker. Chef. Creator. She loves books, paper; and ink runs through her veins. She wrestles with Big Ideas and an Infinite Imagination. She’s flip flops and mismatched socks. Smart. Dynamic. Colorful. She never stops what she’s doing until she is satisfied that it cannot be done any better. Serial Entrepreneur. Savvy Biz Girl. Geek Girl. She has had an ongoing love affair with computers since 1983. She knows PhotoShop like the back of her hand. Her artwork wins awards. She lives each day creatively. Funny and fun-loving. Dancer. Dreamer. Artfully Domestic. DIYer. Plate Collector. Embracer of social media. Mother. Grandmother. Spiritual Explorer. Healer. Communicator. Mother of ReInvention.

Welcome to my colorful world of food, recipes, art, and the stories that evolve when you share what you cook. From beautifully crafted food to whimsical entertaining ideas, from decorating your home to salvaged chic DIY projects C8C is not just another lifestyle blog… I tend the garden, can vegetables, make fresh food from recipes passed down through generations. I take great care to set a beautiful table and create an experience, not just a meal.

I am no longer content to go through the motions or settle for the status quo in my blogging pursuits. I find myself restlessly pulled toward something more, something with a special twist. Instead of wishing circumstances were different, I decided to make them different. Instead of waiting for golden opportunities to appear, I elected to spin the gold with the opportunities at hand –  my unique set of talents as a foodie, artist, photographer, and storyteller.
