A Part of my Previous Life...

Before I was diagnosed I had a hobby that perhaps now in retrospect wasn't very good for me... But oh how fun it was.... Stressful, unhealthy... but oh how fuuuuun....

I made cakes...

And if I may say so myself now... I wasn't too shabby at them. 
I am taking a break, so that I first get a chance to land in my MS and in my new lifestyle. But I am not done making cakes... I can't be. It's to big of a part of my life. This is my confession ;-)... I'm not giving up making cakes for other people even though I can no longer eat them myself. I will have to have my family taste what I make and plan ahead so I don't get stressed. 

I might even see if there are ways for me to make cakes for me... If I do I'll share the recipes with you here :-)!

Here is the link for my old Cake blog... It's been dormant for a while, but it is certainly not dead. I hope you like my work!

A Different Kind of Meditation

As part of the OMS lifestyle (not just diet) we are supposed to meditate for 30 min daily... This is something I've been having trouble with. 

I have two kids, a house and a job to take care of.. I barely have time to breathe let alone meditate for 30 min a day!! 

I was reading some posts on the oms support group on Facebook and there was someone with the same issues as me. But they came to the conclusion that things like taking a walk or gardening could be meditation as well. Emptying your mind somehow. Putting your focus on just one thing. 

One thing that I find very soothing is crafting. I sow, make cakes (for other people) and anything where my hands are used creatively. So I sat down and started painting some stones for my newly planted garden! It was a quick little project, but it was wonderful to just create and not think about anything else but what my fingers were doing. You shall be seeing a lot more meditation projects from me n here, that's for sure! 

Now go meditate ;-)!
