Dear Elissa, I’ve just found your blog in the last few weeks. I added you to my reader and have been moving through your past posts, slowly cherishing your written words. You are a lovely, lovely writer, with talent I hope to someday come close to achieving. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and inspiring so many.

Mama Koala – I did a quick google search, did you mean “The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything”? I’ll have to add it to my reading list, the title alone tells me I’d find it interesting :) Thanks!

Elissa,

You have an amazing gift. It is evident that you’ve found your element (Have you read Sir Ken Robinson’s book?)–food, photography, and writing all rolled into one. Don’t let anything stop you.

All the best,
Mama Koala

Hi Elissa,

I have heard a lot about your stories. It’s really nice to leave a message here. I love to read about your childhood. Such a wonderful childhood. Thank you for posting these lovely photos. You look so cute and it’s nice to know you. I live in Hong Kong. If you have a chance to visit here, i will be so glad to show you around and try local dishes.^^

That was such a wonderul read and beautiful photos. I own a weathered recipe box, filled with yellowed cards with carefully written recipes..used for years by my paternal grandma, whom I miss so much. I cherish this recipe box and every card in there. Your post brought me back..you will cherish these memories forever, especially when you bake or cook any recipe from those cards :) Gosh, Elissa, I have to keep reminding myself that you[‘re only 17. Definitely an old soul with a talent for beautiful writing :)
