    Much like a key finding its lock or a puzzle piece Much like a key finding its lock or a puzzle piece finding its home, when we get to know ourselves and step fully into what we have discovered, embracing the challenges that will strengthen what we naturally and passionately enjoy doing with ease and to energize, there is an indescribable ease and peace of mind even with all of life's unknowns. 

An excerpt from the November 28th entry, titled "Choosing to Be Self-Full" found in the November chapter, "Explore and Discover Yourself and the World" in #tsll3rdbook The Road to Le Papillon: Daily Meditations on True Contentment

    Ohhh, being able to stand in the bakery and see, s Ohhh, being able to stand in the bakery and see, smell and watch the magic is a treat! @mill_fire_baking is passionate about what they do, and I finally figured out how to enjoy their bread year-round (outside of our farmers' market season in Bend, Oregon) ➡️ Sign up for their email mailing list! 🤦‍♀️

Pick ups of orders happen two days a week and your order needs to be placed prior to those dates. So simple, and when pick up date and time (a window of just a couple of hours) arrives, stepping into this room is a dream for the senses. 

The line was out the door this morning as customers were eager to bring home orders for Thanksgiving, and a big thank you to Tim, Pillar and the team for all that they give us. 🍁🦃💛🥖 Your bread is delicious - full of flavor, attention to details and expertly crafted. True artisanal bread.
