Wednesday Words~

Cooking for people is an enormously

significant expression of generosity and

soulfulness, and entertaining is a way to

be generous and creative.  You're 

sharing your life with people.  Of course,

it's also an expression of your own need

for approval and applause.  Nothing 

wrong with that.
