When people talk about purpose in life, I have a very short answer, which is that I am here to tell stories and love people, and the vast majority of the things I do proceed from that.

The baking, for example: I love to bake. I am good at baking. But for myself alone, I bake breakfast items on rare occasion. That's it. All the other baking I do is a conscious expression of love for one or more persons.
