Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname

 Beni's Christmas Palace In Suriname Just like in the photo above this text, I am okay but I am not completely okay. I feel awful on the inside and for a long time it was difficult to find the motivation to return to blogging.  Tomorrow's Christmas, so I mustered all of my strength to at least finish another episode. I've been gone for a while because as usual, life got hectic. But this time in a bad way! As you guys know a while ago I started a company in Suriname. Most of my days were spent creating Story Time episodes, working, doing social work or going along to get a taste of the field.  When we go to clients, sometimes I get to see awesome places. Or in between on our journeys we tend to make pitstops. This Story Time episode is supposed to be about my visit to Beni's Christmas palace. But let me tell you about what happened after that first. Just so you can understand how my Christmas spirit, transformed in the energy of mourning. People see the good, but I'l...

Hi guys, I know I look tired in this picture. But I don't care, as I mention a lot of times the purpose of my blog isn't to create an illusion of perfection. Instead on this Story Time U.F.O., we are on a healing journey as we try to enjoy life and explore the world around us. Why do you think I enjoy writing about self-love adventures so much? Speaking of the Story Time U.F.O.👽👾🛸 I am tired right now while typing this up for you after some intense days of working. Gasp but hey a Queen does a lot! In my personal life, my crown just rocks that way.👑 So hopping on that Story Time U.F.O. is appreciated. By subscribing you become a part of my Story Time community.

Let the records show that you can't achieve anything in life without first putting in the hard work. It's passion and vision that keeps us motivated and self-love helps you discover what yours is. Be sure to also check out the self-love articles on my blog. ✍ I write about the things in life that I learned to help me on my own healing journey in the hope that you may find some of that healing too.🪔 Okay I'll tell my inner monk to chill it for a while. Because this isn't a self-love episode, it's a foodie adventure!😋🍲🥘🥫

And in this foodie episode, we are going on a snack adventure to Rock Oil in Paramaribo! If you travel to Suriname you'll find out that there are a couple of service stations here that also serve as hotspots. One of them is Rock Oil Suriname. This service station is a popular stop during the nighttime. Rock Oil has a nice collection of desserts and they also sell food. I'll take you on a couple of adventures where we will go to try their food. In this Story Time video, I visited them on the 1st of July. A popular national holiday in Suriname. On the 1st of July, the abolition of slavery is celebrated in Suriname. On the 1st of July 1863, the slaves working on Surinamese plantations were told that they were free. Of course, there were certain conditions, because why wouldn't the slave master who owned a number of plantations not be a shrewd businessman? The slaves had to work for 10 years under contract on a plantation for low wages before they were actually free to go. After that, our ex-Dutch colonizer brought Immigrants to Suriname to maintain their plantations. Even that story has some cruelty and blood in it. Because of our rich resources, my country has a lot of dark pages in its history and became a social experiment. Doesn't sound too pleasuntfull but either way today we are here as the independent Republic of Suriname. That's why on this day Rock Oil decided to go all out with the Keti Koti theme ( Keti Koti means chains are broken in Sranang Tongo). This video is from a while back, but don't say that I didn't warn you guys that I have a lot of adventures to share as we get to know each other! I ordered the passion fruit cheesecake. I love passion fruit cheesecake and the Hershey chocolate ice slushie. They were both good.
