The Rainbows of my life

You may be wondering why the blog is called 'Life's Rainbows',
what's the symbolism behind rainbows?

Well, for those who know me, the year of 2008 was an incredibly hard time for my family and I; but throughout that year and after, rainbows have been a symbol of God's goodness to us. His guiding hand in our lives. His devotion and love for us. A simple reminder on a dreary day or at a hard time.


So then, why would rainbows apply to this part of my life? To the diagnosis of a lifelong illness? How do rainbows relate to this time of my life?

I believe that in all circumstances there is a silver lining, some good when life seems to be awful. Being diagnosed with Celiac Disease was awful, but the great silver lining which I love and am so thankful for is baking.

I now have a reason to bake new recipes, gluten free and I get such delight when it is impossible to tell that the delicious baking is gluten free. I feel normal. 

I also have been given the opportunity to learn and try new recipes, I have grown in confidence and now I experiment, test and have fun when baking yummy treats.

Baking is my rainbow in this (at times) dreary road of Celiac disease. 

Chances are that you know someone who is celiac or gluten free, so feel free to use my tips and recipes whenever possible. And never forget to, 

Enjoy the rainbows of life!
