A glimpse into my life where I find beauty in.. baking?People who know me know that I have my own unique sense of style.. if you can call it that. One of my dear friends will tell you about a time we went into Auckland city as teenagers, me dressed in my petticoat (it was the 80s!), op shop 'blouse', floral waistcoat, and lace dressing gown. That same friend will tell of how she nearly fainted when the woman in the fabric shop commented on how groovy I looked! There will be my husband who raises one eyebrow at the idea that I might have a 'sense of style', and then there is everyone who knows that I love colour.
So, when I read this blogpost http://www.sankofasong.com/blog/game-of-go-fish/ from sound guy (ok, he's more than that, but just wanted to shorten it) Fabeku, I let out a huge sigh... this resonates with me! Some things really do, and I so totally mask over that in my rush to be a .. heaven-forbid ... people-pleaser. ARGHH! The fact that I only like the outside of the carrot, not that sweet bit in the middle, and care about peg marks on clothes when you hang them on the line, are my things.. They may so totally not resonate with you.. but there are some people out there who will absolutely get this .. or at least appreciate it.
Go have a look. I look forward to reading your comment. Meanwhile, I'm going fishing... ;o)

Definitely part of my 'aha' moment came when I recognised that I live on a planet with six billion folk (give or take). I figured that at anytime if there were 100 people who hated my guts, found me deeply offensive and unlikeable, and wanted to kill me even, then given the odds, I was doing ok! And everytime I run into one of those people (they really don't resonate in other words), then I think to myself "Oh, you are one of my hundred people. Join the queue please. It goes around the corner." I like his version, he explains it really well with those tuning forks. Brilliant. Thanks Cheryl. PS. A bit of people-pleasing is important, or we would all be rude and unpleasant don't you think?!
