Do you know what has to be the sweetest thing in life?...

It's the sweetest thing in my life anyway.

Love. Simple as that.
Love for oneself, love for others, love love love. It's all you need so I've heard.

Live love.
Passions. Helping, giving, smiling heartily. Sure it's all love.
It's the last day of July, amazing August is just about to appear.

Spread the love.

Most importantly love yourself today. Once you've mastered that, the rest should fall into place.

Every month I will dedicate my blog to something specific. A theme one might say.

This month, for the lovely warm summery month of July, I will dedicate my blog to 'All things Sweet'

I'll tell you something that is delicious. And VERY sweet.

I didn't like it when I was young. Up until I was twenty one, I wouldn't touch the stuff. UGH.

So many people couldn't understand.

'What? Are you serious? How could you not like it???????'

'I never have', I would reply. 'I don't like anything about it.'

My goodness.

What was I thinking??? How did I miss out on this sweetness for twenty one years?

Well what could it be I hear nobody ask.

Cake.

Delicious, fattening, sugar filled goodness.

My favourite, is Tea Time Express Coffee Layer Cake.

Oh it is extremely delicious. At first I didn't like it because of the coffee flavour. My Nana used to buy this when I was only a wee young one. Of course not liking cake back then, I never did try the Tea Time treat that is their Coffee Flavoured dream recipe. So growing up I missed out.Nana if only you were around to share it with me now.

Last year, I ate a bite. It was around the 7th of March 2009. At first I was slightly blase about the whole thing. Cake, meh. Who needs it.

Then, I ate another slice of it. I slowly built my love for it. Gradually.

Now I appreciate everything about it. The soft fluffy sponge layered on top of each other, like a big tower, separated by what I can only describe as a magical, creamy moose sweet, finger licking mixture. The sides have been carefully dipped in almond flakes. It's the mother of all Cakes.

If Tea Time Express had a football league, Coffee flavour, the layer variety would win every single season. I won't even talk about other cakes I've had, there's just no point.

So I think it is important on this Tuesday afternoon to tell people who may be reading this a very special message.

You are unique. There is nobody in the whole universe like you. You are here to do specific things. Please go easy on yourself.

I believe there is at least one thing everyone would like to do. Something that doesn't affect other people in a negative light.

It may be, but not limited to! any of the following

• Become a comedian
• Tell someone you love them
• Call an old friend
• Tell someone you're sorry
• Write a book
• Take flying lessons
• Question a priest at the end of mass
• Send an email to a famous person you adore
• Go to college
• Wear a really low cut top to work

Whatever it is, if you have something you have always wanted to do, well do it. Or if it's a recent idea, just do it. Get the ball rolling. Start saving the money, start planning, get whatever the project is in motion. It is important to use this life to make yourself and others happy. There is no point waiting around. You'll be dead before you know it!
