Welcome to my photographic and prose-lined journey through the sweeter side of life. Sweet moments, sweet travels, sweet bakes, and at times… everything in between.
Formerly sunshineandyoga.com and sabrieking.com – I’m taking a new direction with this web page and feel very comfortable and at home with the decision. Just going with the flow to see what road unviels.
Thanks for joining me, in spirit and conversation. Much love.

This blog of mine has gone through many transformations – from a place to share my journey through an eight month intense yoga study to obtain my 200-hr Yoga Teacher certification, to a website advertising my freelance writing skills in hopes of rounding-up business, to this current page of sharing my love of baking, travel… Continue reading About me
(Inspired by Susannah Conway‘s #augustbreak2019) Human. What does that mean? I think it means a lot more than just skin and bones, minds and development, socialization and communication. Because when you think of it, many other species have those characteristics too. So what does “human” mean? For me, it’s a feeling. A sense of being.… Continue reading A Puget Sound Surprise
I’ve been meaning to post another Reading List for the month ever since March… but once the first of the month comes around, it’s like the end of the month is already here! Anyone else feel this way?? Nevertheless, here I am. The past few weeks have been about being here, living in the now,… Continue reading Reading through July
We’re halfway through the year and I haven’t at all accomplished what I wanted or had hoped to in regards to my blog. The weeks and months have simply flown by, even though some days seemed to drag on forever. I had blog idea after blog idea pop into my head with full intentions of… Continue reading it’s Midsummer and I haven’t fulfilled my Night’s Dream
This is me, enjoying the shade of a tree in the middle of Cape Town’s winelands. . . For all of you who know me, you know how I love to laugh and be the center of attention at times. I love to present in front of a group (I used to be a yoga… Continue reading This Is Me
I know I said I’d start posting my reading list monthly… but here we are at the end of March and I have yet to post for this month. I’m a bit sad to say this month has been a bit of a wash. At the beginning of the month, I caught an awful bronchial… Continue reading April Reading 2019
This is THE best chicken and rice soup recipe I’ve ever made. It’s supposed to be the copycat to Panera Bread’s… but honestly I think it’s better! I double it – and have plenty to feed a family of 5 and still have loads left over to bag and freeze. (It reheats very well for… Continue reading Copycat Chicken and Rice Soup
There are train tracks that start in the Port of Cape Town and go all the way up and around mountains to the Elgin Railway Market. This enchanting ride along the Ceres Railway was one of our outings during my visit to South Africa this past holiday. Opened in 2018, the market resides in the… Continue reading An Overberg Odyssey
They say one way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, “What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?” Both of these questions went round and round in my head the entire time I was in South Africa. I knew I would love being… Continue reading South Africa: Once Seen, Never Forgotten
I’m not a New Years Resolutions person, but I do like to set goals – regardless of the time of year. And the start of another year seems fit for new goals, so I guess you could say this is somewhat of a resolution for me… In short, I’d like to read (and finish) more… Continue reading Reading List for Jan/Feb ’19
I had almost finished this blog post last week, but then I got side-tracked. My intent was to complete it the next day and post it, but it didn’t happen. So I’m picking up where I left off, nearly a week later… My husband and I went to see Dave Matthews Band play their 2-night… Continue reading My Week’s Intentions, 8
Writing is nothing more than a guided dream. – – Jorge Luis Borges; Never never be afraid to do what’s right, especially if the well-being of a person or animal is at stake. Society’s punishments are small compared to the woulds we inflict on the soul when we look the other way. — Dr. Martin… Continue reading Favorite Quotes
