My Jar of Good Stuff : Day 14 Eating is a celebration ask Jamie Oliver

Have you ever tried cooking with someone together in the kitchen before… yeah me neither… sorry thats not true, its not that I have not tried its just that I have never been successful at leaving the kitchen peacefully, there has always been a case of me being injured in action, sometimes physical injury but mostly it is emotional and mentally disturbance…

It is my opinion that the kitchen just suddenly becomes a war zone once two people decide to cook together… it may be that this may not be the case for you but honestly there hasn’t been an experience that can convince me otherwise.

Its all about the territory.

I mean no one dare tell Jamie Oliver not to taste the food by putting his finger into the pot, and not to just rip off leaves from the herbs he is holding, or to wash or to be in any way hygienic and I bet no one has tried telling David Roco that he can’t just set up any place and start cooking…. not that I am comparing myself to either of them… yeah I am….  also David Rocco there is no way someone can remain that fit by eating that much cheese and bread, what Is it that you are doing after the show that you aren’t telling us… 😐 .. No one dare tell them, because when they are that skilled with sharp objects you try your best not to get in their way.

But it seems interesting to me how territorial people get, its funny and very entertaining how they obsess about the small details, as you watch the drama that unfolds.

Food is not just food,  its more about the sharing of it and the company you enjoy it with, its about imagination and appreciation and love that goes into it.
Eating is one of the celebrations of life and we get to do it everyday…

Feb 10: Being able and being blessed with good food and great Company…and not having to share the kitchen with others 😉

My Jar of Good Stuff : Day 8 The Start of a Miracle

Its for days like this that I started this project. When you cannot see the good things that happen to you, and when its not so easily visible. When you search and dig and find, only then does joy become more precious.
Somethings are easy to find things on the surface but the deeper and greater things in life are not always on the surface, they are not immediately visible, they are not always obvious, today’s day has been like that, its been heavy, its been disturbing yet there was only voice saying one thing over and over again : This is a miracle in the making.

And I believe that, thats the comfort we live in, the assurance we have. The only way to get throught this is a Miracle and mine and yours is in the making ..

My Jar Of Good Stuff : Day 6 : Smiling in the Rain

Feb 2nd 2013 : Saturday

If any of you are here in the Emirates, you will know that its been a grey and gloomy day, its as though the sky and the clouds are crying, bringing with it a change of weather. But this optimistic and hopeful blogger believes when the weather gets dark and grey and gloomy, its time to go out to the street and eat that crazy fast food that you just shouldn’t, Bring it home and spend some time holding a hot cup of tea, warming your heart and your fingers and your soul, wearing warm and cosy socks, surrounded by your loved ones, with the windows wide open as the rain drops fall softly onto the world around you.
All of the above are just soo much to fit onto a sticky note…

So the best thing that happened to me today is( Drum Roll) : God Sent Some Rain to Remember What it is to feel Warm

Life is wonderful, it really really is……
-Here’s to those magical rainy days that brings you immense joy

New Month Resolution: Magnanimity of Soul

Its February!

 February means the shortest month of the year, valentines day and the month with the hardest spelling which I only get right because of Spell Check ( thank you Technology!). January was my month of building Commitment, and I am happy to say that it went well. Building commitment really just means that you have a develop some habits, it takes time, it takes conscious efforts, it takes a whole lot of trying very very hard. You have to keep doing it until the day when you feel like its become a part of you, until you reach that day when you decide that feelings really don’t determine what you do, that you do what needs to be done. What began on January 1st will now continue throughout the year.

So after building commitment, I have a new month, it means I get to challenge myself once more, after continuing with building commitment now I get to add to that with Magnaninmity of Soul. It was a concept that I came across after reading a very inspirational book and the concept just enveloped me entirely.

It means having generosity of Spirit and Soul. What it meant to me was the being able to inject a whole lot of cheer and happiness into what is in my hands and the things that i can control: my family, my friends, myself, and my world. To be generous with my words and my deeds, to spread a whole lot of hope, a whole lot of love and a whole lot of forgiveness, to add value to the world around me by being the best I can be, a way to inspire people and make them feel good about themselves. The road to this would be appreciate people, to find those that I have forgotten and tell them that they are still important, to get down on my knees in prayer a whole lot for the people that need them, to somehow be involved in the behind the scenes in making of miracles and just to make people smile..

I am so excited to start. Its my Month of Magnanimity of Soul: Lets see how I do?

What are you going to do different this February?
