So I've been baking with sourdough almost a year and improved a lot. the first loaves were flat and didn't rise as they should. Did try different types of methods and recipes some worked out some didn't but finally got near the final product i was aiming for.

patience and consistent pay off :)

now I'm off to make some sourdough baguette.

enjoy your weekend everyone

Can we be protected when we truly love?

....feelings of vulnerabilty are so common then, as we tend to be sensitive and hurt rather easily.

....but real love cannot be put in a jar or constrainted in any way, as this would go against its own nature.

Pure Love, wether for a person, what we do and/or life itself, carries within its own existence the actual protection.

Love is protection.

Fidning the way to know the magic of our existencies is Love.

Have a wonderful start in the weekend and may it be full of quality love for all that you'll engage into.

Always all the best

Ivy xx
