The Pillar & the 'Post'

Trying to put together today's blog post & I feel like I'm stuck between ~ the pillar & the 'post'!

Have you ever felt just stuck?  That was me yesterday.  I sat down to write about my latest adventure in baking and then I went blank!  I pondered what I wanted to say about Shortbread and Tarts, but nothing that I put down on paper seemed to fit!  Then a thought came to me, what if I let everyone know why I decided to do what I'm doing.

All of my life I've been a bit of an adventurer~ it doesn't matter if it involves travel, food, gardening or crafting.  I can conform to the mainstream, but I always feel better and more secure within myself embarking on a journey that is my own!  Trust me I love help & I enjoy the camaraderie of the people that surround me, but there is nothing more exhilarating than to jump off that high dive and hit the water with a splash!  

My Own Splash!

KMC's Shortbread Specialties is a bit like that splash.  When I found myself without a job a few weeks ago I thought ~ OK ~ I know I'm not ready to take it to the HOUSE!  I'm only 62yr. and I know that life has a whole lot more to offer before I check out.  I'd been toying with the notion of maybe getting back into a little personal chef work, then I hit upon the idea of doing Shortbread & maybe some Pastries for the holidays and the idea just grew from there.

I've been making shortbread for years in 'Brown Bag Cookie Art' pans.  Everyone in my circle of family and friends who received a pan of Shortbread over the holidays made such a fuss about how good the Shortbread tasted and how enchanting the design of the Shortbread was that I thought it was time to share. Voila! KMC's Shortbread Specialties was thus conceived!  

Well, I am at the beginning of my journey and I know that there is a long road ahead of me, but I also know that I just jumped off that high dive again & that I am no longer between the pillar and the 'post'!  My Blog has been written & I live to write another day!
