Summer Lovin'

I would have never thought that a traditional Cypriot bread baker who still uses a hot coal furnace in 100 degree weather who makes a 300 euro per week could have ever impacted my life.

In short: when asked if the assistant was a good assistant she replied, "to bake bread you must have love, and she doesn't have it yet."

That one statement reminded me of something I forgot.  Putting love into what I do.  I think everybody could benefit from that statement.

The more I think about it,  I believe there is a difference between loving what you do.  I do think people should love what they do, and that is important.  The thought of putting love into what I do has never even crossed my mind.  Yes I do love writing, learning and telling stories.  Now I'm challenged with that idea of how do I put my love into what I do.

We did go with the intention of filming part of the documentary we're working on, however the majority of our footage is unusable, and guess what I'm glad. Why?  Because now we can go in with the mentality of putting some love into it.

 After all Cyprus is the birthplace of Aphrodite the goddess of love.
