Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Christa Belle Harrison. Some of you may know me as the singer from the Electronic band, Hungry Lucy. In addition to music, I have many other things I love to do. I have always loved photography, cooking, writing, and more recently, gardening. This site will be full of projects involving all of my interests. Follow along and help me reach my goals. I want YOUR opinion on what I’m doing. Who knows, you might even help me reach my ultimate goal, writing my first cookbook!

Here’s a little history on my life so far. I’m 33, at the moment, married to the best person on earth, and live in a small town north of the Cincinnati area in Ohio. I am fortunate to not have a day job, so a lot of my days are filled with the typical household chores. One of my favourite things to do to fill my days is Baking and Cooking. The chance to cook for someone is always intriguing to me. One of the best things you can do to show you care is to cook for someone. It’s more than a joy of mine, it’s a true PASSION! But, I often get “cabin fever” just like any over-active personality out there, so I occupy my mind with other things. When I get that way, I reach for Photography and Videography. A chance to get out, see with new eyes and bring it home to perfect it on my Mac, with the help of Final Cut Pro, Aperture and Photoshop, of course. Then, there are days where I just want to feel grounded and do some nurturing in the garden. Nothing else on earth brings you to a more humble place than Gardening. You can do things to help it along, but you can never truly control it. It reminds us of how we need to cherish every moment. Take time to figure things out and grow. Most importantly, you learn how to be still. But, when I can’t voice anything, capture anything, grow anything or cook anything to make my point known, I turn to the age old form of expression, Writing. I still write when I feel I can’t say what’s on my mind. There’s something about pen on paper that’s the best therapy in the world. And it don’t make for bad songs neither, a’don’t cha know?

My hope with this site is to incorporate all of my loves in life into something everyone can relate to. In my opinion, I believe everything is connected. Life is a web of delicate strings woven day by day. I don’t know about you, but when I’m done weaving my “web”, I’d like for it to be able to catch me when I fall into it! In other words, I never want to just have one thing to occupy my mind. Life is too short to do only one thing. I am always learning, doing and seeing incredible things. Join me in my adventures, if you wish, and see what new thing you can achieve in life. Anything is possible with the detrmination to make it happen!
