I used to be like you Nancy, the savory cook. But then I got that baking bug. Try one recipe. You might surprise yourself.

It’s a great lesson. We can embrace the bitter with a bit of sweet.

I wish I would have discovered this years ago.

Thanks, Lorraine, I love your blog for the same reason. You entertain me and you are so gracious to others.
There is the critique of one’s work, but then there is the tearing down of person. I’m not for that.

I wasn’t talking about criticism. I was talking about haters, but I didn’t want to use that word. In today’s social media world, and behind computers people think they are everyone else’s judge. God says esteem others more highly than yourself. Not for false flattery, but it keeps the heart in a good place. Criticism is best left to mentors, teachers, editors, coaches, not for someone to just come and throw a pie in the face. (he he).

Thank you, Alexandria.

I want to further encourage you. I visited a local Bakery today, Sweet 16th Bakery in Nashville, owned by a fabulous local couple that took the leap and opened a store front after baking for 11 years in their home. Best decision they ever made. I met with them yesterday and I read your comments to them. We all got chills, thinking of you in your endeavor.

Also, thank you for comment on how much this post means to you. I’ve struggled with sharing it; now I’m glad I did. Don’t let anyone talk you out of what is right for you.
Best,
Angela
