A 'Just Because' Cake

Tonight's bedtime snack was 'Just Because' cake. There is no special recipe or secret ingredient to this cake other than a little bit of 'Just Because' magic. What is 'Just Because' magic? It's a little something that I picked up years ago from an dear old friend. 'Just Because' magic is found in your heart but only works when you give it to someone else. As it passes from you to them, it gains the power of love, friendship and kindness. As they accept the 'Just Because' magic, its doubles in volume filling both of your hearts with joy.

'Just Because' cake doesnt happen on birthdays or holidays. It doesnt come with rhythm nor reason. It doesnt come after an excellent report card or a winning game. It simply appears on the counter on a normal, everyday day. Some might wonder why this 'Just Because' cake is so special if it's baked on a nothing extraordinary, simple, regular ol' day.

That is exactly what makes it special. In a world where life is often hectic, schedules are packed to overflowing and chaos reigns for families, 'Just Because' magic can slow time, halt the frenzied pace and show our friends and our families that we dont need a reason to show them that they are loved.

Cake on a Saturday night. Just because.
A kiss for a child. Just because.
A note with a few words of love. Just because.
A phone call. Just because.
Bring home take-out. Just because.
A touch on the arm. Just because.
A special lunchbox treat. Just because.

Who doesnt love to be loved in small and even silly ways? We all do. We like to know that we are thought of. We like to know that we are loved every day, not just on the special days.

So, bake a 'Just Because' cake this week. You'll love how it makes you feel!
