About Lori

I bake.

I craft.
I teach.
I care for animals...which is not two words, but true.

This goal started as a summer goal, but now it's a part of my world.
I have a new goal:
       Spreading joy one post at a time.


My belief:
Your actions demonstrate what you truly believe. So live a life that you can look back on and be proud that you made it a better place. We can all make a difference...no action is too small.

My Inspiration, My Goal
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions." Dalai Lama

Simply stated, but it spoke straight to my heart. This spring, I enjoyed an evening of inspiration and hope at the Ethiopian Orphan Relief Auction. Sitting there listening to the stories, of people helping others in small and big ways. I didn't feel sadness, instead, I felt joy and hope. Joy that I am blessed to be surrounded by love, and hope that I could spread that love to those around me.

I have the gift of a summer free from worry, free from obligation, so I thought, "Why not?!" Make a new recipe, can something, create something...bring joy to myself and those I love.

My goal is simple...everyday try something new. I hope that you enjoy my journey of inspiring happiness through my own actions.
Hugs,
Lori
