The Diary of Toma Clark Haines
“This is my life. I built this life. You - and only You - have that power.”

This is my Republic. My diary. I journal my life. The day-to-day. Lessons learned. I love. I laugh, mostly at myself because laughter is the best medicine. I travel in my imagination, and in reality. I cook. I share recipes for food as well as practical magic. I believe in God, and I believe God hung the Moon and Stars. I believe you have the power to create your own reality — to make your dreams come true. My diary is Eat, Pray, Love (Yourself) meets Elle Decor + a dash of Goop and a pinch of Entrepreneur.

Cafe in the sun
With all this darkness in the world I needed some light.
It Seems The World Has Changed
In this pic I’m sweaty. We’ve just finished hiking in Kulen Mountain in Cambodia. I have a bit of a sunburn. And I think a mosquito is caught still alive in the sunblock goo that has formed near my hairline. But I’m happy.
