For our second anniversary, my King and I decided to have brunch at Moshulu Restaurant & Deck, a lovely floating eatery located on Penn’s Landing. An all-you-can-eat buffet featured omelette, waffle, pastry, entrée, and dessert stations as well as unlimited champagne drinks – belinis, kir royals, and mimosas.
Philadelphia Museum of Art: Treasures from Korea
I had the pleasure of viewing “Treasures from Korea: Arts and Culture of the Joseon Dynasty, 1392-1910” at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The Museum’s website describes the exhibit as: “the artistic achievements of the Joseon dynasty, a line of monarchs that ruled for more than five hundred years and left a substantial legacy for modern Korea. A variety of objects—including painted screens, scrolls, calligraphy, furnishings, costumes, accessories, and ritual wares—explore the roles of king and court, the distinct spheres of men and women in society, and religious beliefs. This is the first full-scale American exhibition to be devoted to art of the Joseon dynasty.”

My First Health Fair!

This past weekend I gave free ten-minute Reiki treatments to visitors of a local neighborhood health fair located in the East Falls Fitness gym in Philadelphia, PA. I was so excited to give Reiki to those who had never experienced it. Everyone came away feeling soothed and relaxed. Some didn’t want to leave the chair. Others claimed to benefit from physical relief.
