Hi Jane,
Thank you. Those are very insightful ideas. I think you are on to something. ;)
Hugs, Lucy

: Hi Lucy

: I was wondering, if just maybe, part
: of the feeling that you are loving
: people by baking for them, may not
: JUST be about food, it may also be
: about giving something that you
: have made personally for them.

: I wonder if perhaps making other
: types of things such as crafting,
: even making your own Christmas
: cards and cards for other
: celebrations may be something that
: could work for you. I know when my
: daughter wants to send people
: "Thank you" cards, she
: prefers to make them, especially
: for the people in her life who
: would appreciate that thought more
: than a store bought card. She is
: 16, and doesn't have any crafting
: supplies, she usually just draws
: them and colours them in with
: coloured pencils etc. But if you
: are "into" crafting
: etc., it could be a good idea.
: Just a thought.

: As you get further along on the
: steps, you make be able to make
: food gifts for people without
: having any temptation or sadness
: around it yourself. I remember in
: one of Kathleen's books she
: mentioned she makes Christmas
: cookies for other people even
: though she doesn't eat them
: herself any more.

: Love

: Jane
