“Today is the first day of the rest of your life”
YES, this IS the first day of the rest of my life… Every day is. And, it has been coming for some time. Today is a new beginning for this blog too… Today is a new beginning for what I ponder to write… Today is a new beginning of many things yet not spoken…
While it has been some time since my last posting, it has not been because I did not have anything to say. It was because I was uncertain as to how to say it. My blog used to be tag lined “…Not Another Food Blog.” It was so titled because it did not center on food. I wanted it to be more about observations in my life… “A Pinch of This, and A Dash of That” was about the measurement of my life in experiences, thoughts and observations ~ a smathering.
The new tagline is now “…Not Just Another Food Blog.” It will still be a smathering of life experiences, but now it will be about my experience & relationship with food. It will include recipes for sure; it will be about how it affects me, and what food means to me. It will be about experiences in the sharing of a meal with friends and family. It will be about how I’m feeling preparing perhaps something new – maybe a new ingredient or doing something different in the process or about a new tool.
Yesterday, I began working with a life coach. I am doing it because I was feeling stuck; I felt like I was in a box that I could not get out of and I didn’t know how I could do what I want to do with that feeling… I don’t have all the answers yet, I will never have the answers to a lot of things…
But one thing that was said by my Coach struck a cord with me… She talked about how it took her 3 tries, writing and re-writing her book. With the final edition, the one that got published, she realized she had to write from her heart.
When she said that, a light bulb went off in my head. The book, and especially this blog, HAVE to be from my heart and my feelings ~ that’s how I have written all previous posts, and that’s how I will continue to write. I HAVE to write about food that same way! I love food! But my experiences about that has to come from my heart. It can’t just be about a recipe with ingredients and directions on how to prepare it. So this blog will have the same ‘feel,’ the same ‘tone’ and the same ‘voice’ to it.
That having been said, I hope you will enjoy my offerings in my blog, “A Pinch of This, and A Dash of That …Not Just Another Food Blog.”
