Nature’s Core


Brown mountains, green trees, 

and the strong foundation of life.

Yet it quakes the ground.


Clear, simple, and pure, 

the liquid that quenches thirst,

but also drowns souls.


A breeze in the air

that whispers in the dark night

as the world shivers.


Red, orange, yellow,

the colors that provide warmth

and burn up the world.

Alexis has enjoyed traveling since she was eight years old, and she likes to bring back little trinkets from each place she visits. During her last journey, she went to Nigeria and experienced the exotic flavors of all the cultural dishes she ate. After that exhilarating trip, she began learning how to prepare those wonderful cuisines as a way to connect to her roots.
