Grow This: Stern Lessons
http://growthis.blogspot.com/2015/07/stern-lessons.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not to tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers—stern and wild ones—and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss. Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter. I do not consider this un-chosen journey as one where other women dare not tread. Shame and despair are part of the deal and nobody needs a passport to those regions.

Saturday, June 13, 2015. 8220;Be silent and listen: have you recognized your madness and do you admit it? Have you noticed that all your foundations are completely mired in madness? Do you not want to recognize your madness and welcome it in a friendly manner? You wanted to accept everything. So accept madness too. Let the light of your madness shine, and it will suddenly dawn on you. Madness is not to be despised and not to be feared, but instead you should give it life.". While I was not an early fan o...

Monday, July 28, 2014. 8220;A recipe is not as precise as a chemical formula, since ingredients vary slightly, as do cooking utensils and stoves. But a little difference is sometimes refreshing, and so it will not matter if there is a slight change in the finished product. For example, a sauce or a pudding may be thicker or thinner without being a failure. Don’t apologize! Just present it differently – the softer pudding in dessert glasses instead of on a serving dish as you had planned.”. And also, by m...
