First things first

June 7th 2014  Happy Saturday (Happy Birthday to my Dad)

As I begin this blog, let me first say that I am not a writer nor am I a wizard with grammar, punctuation or the most evil of them all spelling.  I begin this blog for strictly selfish reasons, healing, helping and the creating of hope.

  • Healing for myself (I told you it was selfish) and for others who need a measure of the good stuff.  I feel a bit lost at times, specifically these past few months.  The stresses of daily life have been tough for me...so it is time to get it together and let the healing begin.
  • Helping for myself...not in a receiving way, but rather in a giving way.  I hope to help myself along the way, but it should be about others...not me.  I would rather see others helped and enjoy the feeling of accomplishment by helping someone other than myself.  Sort of a "go ahead and take the last slice of pizza" even though  I am still hungry and the pepperoni and cheese is calling.  The look on their face as they CHOMP the last bit of crust, crumbs falling on the floor...makes me feel good. (remind me to tell them to sweep up after themselves.)
  • Hope comes from within, but it is also comes as a reminder from the American Cancer Society HOPE Wristband that I wear. It comes from my faith as well.  Lets not forget to mention my family and friends too.  We have Hope...and that is good enough for me.  I hope it's good enough for you too.  I will share any extra that I have, provided you share your hope with others too.
As I write this I will be interjecting Food related snippets.  I will call it....dramatic pause................................

 Chefs Wisdumb

Spell check not necessary...Wisdumb is correct.  The definition is wise and dumb...simple...no?  I intend to rant on random topics and share with you some of my thoughts regarding those issues and causes that are important for the Healing, Helping & Hope I intend to facilitate during this Blog.  (Funny...the word blog. Never did I think that I would be writing a blog, nor did I think I would ever use the word blog.)  I have a good friend Rick who writes a great blog.  I read it and I find that I am transported to his world.  So I said to myself, "CBM why not drive this "Bus" and transport others to your world.  By the way, his blog and mine will in no way be comparable, after all he has the support of a much bigger Fan base.

Ok, now you know what to expect.  Nothing much.  Just a man and his thoughts.Keep reading and I will try to give you what you have come to expect.  I will get some Healing, Helping and Hope in return.
