Each step and each ingredient contribute to the final product. And just as you can't rush the perfect rise of a cake, you can't rush the journey of self-discovery and personal growth.So, as you flip through the pages of this book and embark on your own baking adventures, remember to savour the experience. Let each bite of a freshly baked treat remind you to be present, to be grateful, and to be happy.
