My Sacred Life, Day 7

Making what I don't like with the same love and attention as the stuff I do like.
This here Gingerbread is a challenge for me.
It's a challenge to open the molasses.
It's a challenge to not cook the eggs with the hot water.
It's a challenge to smell that which I'd not choose to eat.
It's a challenge to know what "just right" means to Gingerbread.

And look at it.

This is what happens when I announce my love of making gingerbread.
I get to make this marvelous creation for the others of Corvallis. Those who love Gingerbread deserve diana's Gingerbread, they deserve Gingerbread made with the same love and attention and intention as the yummy goodies *I* may be partial to. Just for showing up at the coolest coffee shop in the known universe, they get that from me. A gift, for everyone.

Just a tiny little shift in perspective...
My soul loves to be nudged.
Thanks for the nudge, Gingerbread Gods.
Amen.
