The Missing Ingredient...

All of us seek meaning in our lives at one point or the other, to find out who we really are and what we stand for. And for most of us, work or what we do helps us give purpose to our existence. Something that makes you look forward to tomorrow, something that excites and motivates our minds, something that makes you jump out of bed every morning, something that makes you feel alive.

Sadly, this economy has taken the meaning out of so many lives, so many of us struggle to face the day, me including, so many of us dont know who we are anymore, so many of us have locked ourselves in a cave or built a wall where they cannot be reached.

It doesn't help that we are constantly prodded by Facebook and Twitter as to whats on our mind or what are we doing especially since we might be doing nothing. We might be just waiting for the moment where are lives are returned to us and we just squander precious moments in the bargain.

I have embarked on this Project because I want to find my purpose or the missing ingredient in life. The one that makes me happy, the one that creates joy and abundance in my existence. I want to be inspired and inspire others during my journey so that maybe they can find the secret ingredient that might be missing from their life.

So thus cooking as my weapon of choice. Because the fact is that I cook almost every other day but I don't look forward to it atleast not lately thanks to the fact that I am just a housewife instead of I am a successful career woman and I also cook. When it should, because food touches your life in so many other ways apart from just nutrition. Food can provide comfort, security and it can also make you social! I find myself calling my friends over everytime I have cooked something that has turned out delicious. Notice how the kitchen is the centre of attraction during a house party. Food is like background music, it sets the mood without dominating it and you will only notice its absence when you pay more attention to the details. Food creates a feeling of abundance and this leads to you wanting to share it with the people you care and love. So I am hoping that by transforming each monotonous mealtime into a wonderful experience some of that positivity and excitement seeps into my life and make me a better person..
