After sharing stories of my glorious weekend at the market with my friend and life coach, Merrill, she suggested I focus my blog postings on the conversations born from a cookie. I have repeatedly said my Heartsong Cookies business is so much more than just a mix of flour, sugar, butter and eggs. It is a way for me to reach out to others, to offer a smile, a hug, an ear to listen, a vehicle to inspire dreams. It is the door to great conversations...cookie conversations. Conversations that usually have absolutely nothing to do with baking and everything to do with life, dreams and challenges. I love these moments and vow to do a better job of sharing the stories.
Stories of Linda, the single mother of four living on a sinkhole facing challenge after challenge with grace and a smile. Laurie, the poet with the desire to bake for her family and touch the world with her words. Naya, the high school student with a dream similar to mine,,,to make people happy with her "Sweet Treatz". Natalie, a recent UF graduate with a desire to save the world or at least change an attitude. All are amazing people I met with a cookie and a smile.
These cookie conversations are what drive me. They fill my soul. They are the positive spirit people comment on when they meet me. They are a reflection of all that is good in the world...the good in each and every one of you.
Thanks for sharing a morsel of yourself with me. I look forward to many more tasty treats...cookie conversations.
Many hugs,
Kathy
