Live your Life on Purpose

Purpose.

I wonder what that word means to me, almost every day.

Why are we here, getting up, routines, what is our purpose?

What is it we set out to achieve?

Is it about self satisfaction?

Is it about our contribution to others?

Often, I have no bloody idea.

Getting up each and everyday, setting out to achieve what I have to and hoping like hell I might even find a minute or two to achieve a little something more.

I feel like I'm standing at a folk in the road, unsure of what direction to take, hovering.

Filled with self doubt I want someone to come through, sweep me up and make the decisions for me.

But then I'm reminded, I'm all grown up now. 




Do you go out and grab it, live your life on purpose?  Or do you trust that the path you are following is your destiny and is that enough?

No Fail Apple Tea Cake


A few weeks ago I had a crack at Apple Muffins and they were so bland the whole family refused to eat them and I don't blame them.

So I headed to Facebook and ask the lovely group of readers there for their hot tips.  

Nutmeg and Cinnamon was the conclusive answer.

So I decided to tackle another apple cake with the last of our apple haul from the orchid and I found the worlds easiest and most delicious apple cake.

Seriously, a recipe where most households will have all the ingredients, you whack it all in and mix it up and chuck it in the oven.

Recipe can be found here.

Go on, you can thank me later!

Cheers

Mandy.
