Anything you want to know these days people just ask Google. Myself included. But recently, in my position as a Creative Writer Intern I have noticed how many blogs crop up in my daily google search results. Whether it's a travel blog about a place I'm writing about or a how-to blog teaching me how to use a new website, I cannot help but read blogs.
That is why I am writing my own blog, in the hope that some day my blog posts will show up in someone else's google results. For now I am content just writing what I'm thinking about, my own views on the news and maybe offering a little advice to those people that find themselves following a gluten-free diet.
I myself am a coeliac so follow a STRICT gluten-free diet, no cheating for me! Well unless I fancy my chances in the ring against bowel cancer... not likely! This means that I should be limited in what I can eat. But I'm not. Why? Because if I can't eat something on the shelf I will just make it myself. I see gluten-free cooking as problem-solving and I love solving problems.
In a job interview recently (one of many) the interviewer asked me "what brings you joy?" I had struggled to answer previous questions and yet when she asked me that final one I answered almost instantly. Finding food that I would otherwise not be able to eat and making it myself without the gluten. Then offering them to friends and family, waiting for the verdict and then delighting in the replies. Making food for others is what brings me joy. A strange question for an interview but it stuck with me for the rest of the day and most of that week too. What brings you joy?
