I have always thought about getting on with writing on my own blog...part laziness, part shyness held me down. I chose "Soul Kitchen" as my blog name, as it stands for all the sugar and spice that life is all about. So here i am, now 30 years old, married and expecting my first baby ! When in June, i turned 30, i was overwhelmed at the thought of rolling over into a brand new decade of life. You know how it is...i have spent the last 10 years ( the 20's of my life) doing it my way. Choosing the college i go to, the friends i have, arguments with parents over all the career-related discussion, falling in & out of love, finding the person i wanted to marry, my first job, salary, car....all of oh-what self belief that i was always risky but right ! Just spent the last decade living for only myself! And now, when i am 30, and with a baby on its way, its almost like life is shifting gears and moving into auto-pilot mode, as if now life is going to take over ! Possibly the next 2 odd decades ( maybe longer!) i will be worrying about bringing up my child ( or children),
their education, their character, fulfilling some of my ambitions through them ( like all
parents do) and just basically every living moment, thinking whether i am the doing the best for the kids ?
