Inspiration comes in disguises....

Last Christmas when I was all curled up on the couch, in a cottage, in the woods, surrounded by feet of snow outside, I happened upon a movie that was so inspirational to me. So while my husband was fast asleep next to me (even though he never sleeps through movies), and everyone else in the room thought it was the most pointless, slow, drawn-out movie they'd ever seen, I somehow felt inspired. Not even the all negative vibes could get me down.

That's right. Julie & Julia. From the moment I saw the movie, all that I've been wanting to do is blog. All the time. I would like to quit my second job and just experience new things and blog about them every day. But unfortunately we need money to pay the bills, so therefore I cram in my blogging sessions when I can.

I started this blog shortly after that, and somehow it never took off. Then I started a different blog and forgot about this one. Needless to say, I have started back at this one now that I've started baking on a regular basis.



Bake - [beyk]
-verb (used with object)
1. to cook by dry heat in an oven or on heated metal or stones.
That is how the dictionary defines baking. However, I define it as the act of making something so delicious and delicate, it is like a tiny piece of heaven in my hands.

Bliss... 

So join me through all of my baking experiments and disasters. And just know that I'm always open for business too. :) Check out my facebook page!

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart

This weekend was the first time I ventured out and did my hair with hot rollers. What a transformation that made. I was shocked at how different I looked, and because of that, how different I felt. This must be the reason why anyone alters their physical appearance. Obviously there is nothing wrong with improving your self image by doing your hair or wearing makeup. But where do you draw the line of going too far? How much is too much? Natural beauty is practically lost these days. Maybe if people worked on their inner beauty as much as their outer, this world would be a better place.

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.”

- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
