Our personas convince us that there is nothing that we don't know about ourselves -- that we are in fact the person we see in the mirror and believe ourselves to be. But the issue with this is that once we have bought into the story of 'this is who I am,' we shut the door on any other possibility and deny ourselves access to all of who we can be. We lose our ability to choose, because we can't do anything outside the confines of the character we're playing. The predictable persona we've constructed is now in control. We become blind to the immense possibilities for our life."

Little Surprises

I was away for work from Monday to late Thursday night and when I finally walked in the door at 1 am I found a little Post-It note on my bedroom door. It said "welcome back babe, can't wait to see you tomorrow". Then I went to the bathroom and found another one on the mirror that said "Your eyes are absolutely beautiful". The one on the hallway mirror said "I hope when you look in the mirror you see what I see, a truly gorgeous person (inside and out). Then I went around my house and found 5 more. He really is sweet.

He's very supportive of me doing Rally Obedience and stuff with my dog. Plus he's a really good cook. My aunt said whenever I get married she was going to make me a personal cook book of all my favourite recipes. I'm going to send her the ones he's been making me. We brought baked brie to a Games Night last night because I got a Brie baker for christmas. It was SO good!!

Here's the recipe:
Baked Brie


1 round Brie cheese
Jam (sweet) or chutney (savory)
Brown sugar
Freshly ground pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove top rind with removing sides or bottom. Spread jam or chutney on brie. Add some freshly ground pepper. Sprinkle some brown sugar on top. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately. Serve with bread or sliced pears or apples. 



We liked it best with a fresh baguette. Yum!! All melty and gooey and delicious!


This last thing I heard in church a few weeks ago and I just really like it. So I'm going to put it on here in case I ever want to remember it one day.
