My life, my boat.

This is what I Nothing is more dead than a life not lived well. How can you sing when there is no music within? Don’t give your precious life to someone else to squander all the while crying, “It’s not my fault.”

It is we who much change. No one else captains our ship. Know your destination before you set sail, follow your dreams written in the stars.

A great laugh can run away!

I like cake in this bright and vibrant book Marian gives us a candid account of her own nervous breakdown , her own descent into the depths of dark, dark depression . A very vivid account that struck a chord with me most intimately. her writing style has always delighted me and to read a piece writen by Marian about Marian was wonderful. Her hinesty and ability to make us see into her mind , to understand and appreciate the depths she fell to before starting the long , hard climb back to the surface was mindblowing.

So truthful , so honest , so real Marian’s way of dealing with depression was /is to bake – bake anything , everything .. and lots of it !! You’ll be hard pressed not to smile at how she describes her mania ! Believe me .. just when you think you shouldn’t laugh .. a great big guffaw will escape !!  So in her avid passion for baking .. Saved by Cake was born ….
