Don't you just love life,
love meeting people and setting off on a journey to see where connections take
you.
Over the past ten years as I
have travelled my life alone the most amazing people have come into my life and
shared things with me. I have loved,
laughed, learned, lost, grown and expanded.
Friendships are ever changing,
we move in an out of each others lives with an ebb and flow. I am very grateful
for everyone who has come into or passed through my life as I navigate my incredible
journey.
Confidence is also ever
changing, it too can be a slippery little devil that is there one minute and gone
the next. Each time we reach a new high it give us greater depth and offers yet
another opportunity for growth. Women are so good at this...
I don't know about you...but
I have had so many opportunities for growth I should be 10 foot tall...and to
let you in on a secret... I used to be 5ffoot....I grew to 5.10 when I got
confident. Ok, OK not quite
true...however being confident does make you feel taller.
Now I hear you saying "Get
to the point Di...where does the orgasmic and edible bit fit in???? Not where
you might think.....wicked girls!!!
It all comes back to friendship
and confidence. A few months ago through the Queensland Bloggers Face book
group I met this delightful, fun loving and talented lady Maureen. And what does she do? She is the orgasmic
Chef...for food that's better than sex!
Maureen as I said is multi talented and helping others is one of her amazing strengths. She took me under her wing as a budding blogger, we started talking websites...or she did...I got in involved in a program Get Up To Speed that is web and social media based and bingo!
Next thing Maureen is taking
photos like was a plate of her
orgasmically delicious food, and I am learning the intricacies of taking
control of my website.
Yes, yes, yes...I know I haven't got to the orgasmically and edible part yet...I will though I will.
Yes, yes, yes...I know I haven't got to the orgasmically and edible part yet...I will though I will.
Recently I was at her home
and Maureen was in the process of making this delicious, simple and wonderful dish
for her blog post. And I got to see the preparation, presentation, the photo
shoot and best of all the taste test...yes the orgasmical and edible part.
Now while I like food, I am
not in the 'fabulous chef' I would class myself as the 'average girl' in the
kitchen. Rather a means to an end than enthusiastically searching for and
following a recipe. However place a scrumptious
dish in front of me...then I do class myself as an enthusiastic eater of said
fabulous food.
Just in case you would like
to check out Maureen's blog and this recipe in particular...here is the link.
goodness this recipe is one even I could follow.
Did you enjoy? Are you
salivating in anticipation? Go try it ....I am sure you will love it. A
delightful choice for a light and tasty lunch...yes I would call it an orgasmic edible delight.
Confidence and passion have
a synergistic relationship, add the spice... in this case the Orgasmic
Chef...for food that is better than sex and you have a winner!
How I love to see the
passion, enthusiasm, depth, joy and sharing that happens when a mature woman is
in her flow. Thank you Maureen for being a special part of my life.
Confident, Orgasmic and Edible...how
much better can it get?
Uummm...I will leave you to
answer that point. I will however leave you with a question Who do you know who
is confident, lives their life with passion, gives freely of herself and enjoys
every moment of it?
Take a moment now to call,
email or message her and tell her what she means to you. Friendships are the
essence of life...thanks Maureen!
I would love you to share a
comment on a wonderful friend in your life!
Bravo Di ~~~ I shall ring the one foremost in my mind right now :)

DeleteOk, yes, I deleted two comments ...as anyone can see... and I am unable to restore them...however I feel compelled to reply...
ReplyDeleteIn our world we all wear a variety of masks, and we move them around, we all like to be seen at our best. And sometimes, in that process we push another's buttons! I have done so with this reader.
At all times I honour the choices made by any reader, hence my decision to re-instate the messages, however as I said I am unable. That first inclination to delete was a knee jerk reaction from my old way of reacting. My life experiences have taken me on many rough roads, I am facing this 'hump' with confidence in who and what I am.
Yes, I acknowledge my first response was to delete a negative comment, the first in 7,000 page views. As open as I am, it isn't always easy to be who you are in public warts and all. No one is 100% confidently perfect all the time, it brought up my vulnerability and yes, even rocked me initially.
Honesty and integrity are important in social media, and as that is where I have chosen to play... then I choose to respond. Confidence is demonstrated in being able to express yourself openly....so I stand and speak for who I am unashamedly.
It saddens me that a person who says they know me would feel the need to hide behind anonymity...why not come and speak to me?
Again I honour your choices in your writing and thank you for your point of view.
Warm regards Di
Good for you Di!
