Wow! I am gobsmacked by the continual flow of photographs and stories that have been generously shared today. At final count 3108 people baked to make others feel valued and to bake their blues away. Thank you so much to everyone for being so generous sharing stories, it is such a delicate subject and people are affected in different ways. What is clear to me however is that as a community many of us bake as a form of therapy, when we need some time to think or some cheering up, it also occurs to me that many people also like to nurture others through food. If you are like me, your heart must be feeling full tonight (My tummy is a bit fuller too, hehe) I am so grateful for the amount of people that have got involved. I also have a couple of people to thank. I would like to thank @Luke Pye of Pye Machine, not only has he created and donated the Baking our blues away website & been my go to for all things technology, he also shares my enthusiasm for building this day into something huge and we will continue to collaborate on Baking our blues away going forward. I would like to thank @Kwikcopy Ballarat for creating and donating our awesome new logo. I love it, I hope you do as well. I would like to thank beyondblue for supporting and promoting Baking our blues away. We are incredibly grateful for the increase in profile, thanks to their support. I would also like to thank my husband and my dear friends who humor me with my many ideas and back me every time Thank you for supporting me, sharing recipes, being an ear, sharing an opinion. I am so lucky to be surrounded by so many beautiful individuals. You all know who you are. Finally I want to thank all 3108 people that shared my vision and could see the benefit in cooking for others. The endless array of photos and stories tell me I am on the right track with Baking our blues away. Our job now is to make it as successful in creating awareness of anxiety and depression and more importantly creating an opportunity for people to have a conversation, let them know they are valued and make them feel special. I feel incredibly grateful today. Thank you so much xxx
