Jan 21

✨”We will rebuild,
reconcile and recover
in every known nook of our nation,
in every corner called our country
our people diverse and beautiful will emerge
battered and beautiful.
When day comes,
we step out of the shade
aflame and unafraid.
The new dawn blooms
as we free it.
For there is always light.
If only we’re brave enough to see it.
If only we’re brave enough to be it.”✨
-@AmandascGorman

Listening to these spoken words tonight
as my girls and I make an Inauguration meal
and watch history unfold.
It seems appropriate that on this
of all nights we chose
to travel to India through
the passageway
of our own kitchen.
.
We knead and roll,
lift and tuck
the samosa dough.
Our hands work together
in a kind of rhythm and dance.
We sway in the aroma of spices -
turmeric, garam masala,
chili pepper and sea salt -
All ingredients are welcome here -
peas, carrots, onions, potatoes. We wait for the the Instant Pot to whistle
Let freedom ring -
and swirl cream into
butter chicken sauce.
We pour cups of chai,
and I cup my three girls freckled faces.
I look into their almond eyes
and see courage,
smell cardamom, and spoon sugar.
We dream of the day when
girls wearing pearls and caramel skin
will be welcomed as world leaders.
And someday is here.
.
We close our day with
prophecy and poetry.
.
Amen.
.

✈️ This year our family is traveling the world from the comfort of home. We are sharing stories, recipes, and resources in case you would like to join us and explore a country and culture along with us. The goal is simply to make memories and explore the world through food, books, music, and movies. You have freedom to make this experience your own! 🌎
.
This week we would like to invite you on a “trip” to Armenia. My mother-in-law’s family is originally from Armenia so we invited Grandma Chris and Grandpa Larry to join us for this adventure. We picked out a few recipes to try making from scratch and Grandma picked up some favorites from Nina’s Bakery, which is one of the top spots in Fresno for Armenian delights.
.
My late husband Ericlee Gilmore’s great-grandpa was Garabed Bedrosian. He was born in 1883 into extreme poverty in Armenia. His father died when was 9, and he helped his mother to care for the family of five children. Three years after his father’s death, Garabed witnessed the Armenian Genocide. Many were killed. His own village was set on fire, but the family managed to escape to the home of an uncle in a different village.
.
When the crisis passed, they returned to their home to see what was left. Through that winter, Garabed watch his brothers and sister pass away. He and his mother were the only survivors. {For the full story of how Garabed and his family immigrated to the United States, check out my blog at www.DorinaGilmore.com}
.
For our Armenian feast, Grandma Chris made her signature pilaf. I made chicken kebabs, hummus, and paklava with my girls. The rest we ordered from Nina’s Bakery. As Grandma Chris describes it, this is a legit Armenian bakery complete with the grandmas in the back rolling the dolma. Yummy!
.
👉🏽Do you know your family’s story of coming to the United States or landing where you live today?

🏃🏽‍♀️Hey, friend! If you are a walker or a runner who has a hunch that running and faith are intricately connected, you’re in the right place.
.
If you’re a runner who wants to accomplish your physical goals, but also longs for a more personal connection with God, then we
need to chat.
.
If you’re a runner who deep down wants your training to engage the body, mind, soul, and spirit, I am with you.
.
If you have ever felt out of breath or stuck in life, I am here to help you find new strength to press on. I can certainly relate.
.
My heart is to run alongside you this year and help coach you to connect with God, develop muscle memory, and catch a second wind to soar to the finish line. Whether you are a walker or a seasoned
runner, my new book Walk Run Soar was designed with you in mind.
.
In this 52-week experience, I encourage you to read one devotional at the start of each week, and then spend time journaling and taking the faith steps throughout your week. Let’s walk, run, and soar together in 2021!🏃🏽‍♀️
