Strawberry Vanilla Cake...Finding yourself

During the past 2 years my way of living has totally changed...down, deeply touching my roused roots 

Last summer in August I wrote my  first post...I created this blog because I was craving for expressing my feelings and triggering the innocence of my mature hands.

Every time when I place my warm body in front of the screen...my heart blooms and rises because all these writings are not just words...they are more over...motivation. 

''Motivation for love''

We as humans have been created as a masterpiece...a brick for life so not only do we maintain the life system but we also bring to life, give birth, share love...

The most endearing consciousness 

I love being loved and I love to love someone.

Think about the world as a storybook...as something appealing, unique and ....a little bit scary because in every ''hair-raising'' plot exists the opportunity of being loved.

Try to find your own ''Golden mean'' in order to reach the balance  in your organism while the life around you is flowing quite unpredictable...

Years pass. 

 Every single day is one step closer to the emotional death...the forgiveness of ourselves...the stealing  of our childishly shining eyes...but why?!

Why do we allow our body/soul ages...why do we loose the endearing inspiration...the cheerful gestures...the bird's melody that sounds and vibrates deep into my mind.

WHY?

This post is about finding yourself during the years...through the taste of food.

Birthdays are those parts of the year that I characterised as a strange pray...

pray for health, happiness and LOVE.

I find myself as an experimentator and a beauty lover...mostly perfectionist but still a daughter of art.

My taste preferences for having the best birthday cake include good dark chocolate, fresh fruits, homemade jam, fresh and light cream...Ahaa plesure!
