Tulip patterned bread

"No One is sent by accident to anyone"   Marianne Williamson.  

We encounter all types of people in our lifetime.  Some of them are sent to us to deliver painful lessons and it may  feel  agonizing to have them in our life.  However there is a purpose to this experience  which is ultimately to make you stronger.   And yes  I know it is hard to see the strength unfold as you are walking through the pain, however at some point you will  clearly see courage and confidence blossom and readiness to face "what is next.."

 And then there are people who show up to show us love, kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness, spirit, joy ... And of course there is no accident how they show up in our life either.  

 It was March 25th  when the Facebook post of "tulip patterned bread"  caught my eye.  Every single detail looked beautiful and people were commenting on how delicious it was.  And it is always like that... 

 Please meet my friend Aniko - the creator of "tulip patterned bread" .
