Let me eat cake!

Maybe it’s self indulgent to title my first post as the name of my blog, but I felt the name deserved an explanation. So, here it is.

I have always felt sorry for Marie Antoinette, blamed for impoverishing the whole French nation, living a life of excessive indulgence while the peasants starved.

Apparently, she never even said, ‘Let them eat cake’. It was another Spanish princess – God didn’t we Europeans have  a lot of Royalty back then!

However, I am taking it that she did say it and she meant it in a good way because she did not understand the concept of lack, of not having enough. And that’s where I want to be, I want to never have to consider never having enough, to lack something that I want.

Why eat bread, let me eat cake! Let me buy the shoes, boots, buys and coats that I want. Let me live in my splendid home, walk my dog and not worry about the bills. I’ll say it again, just because I can, Let Me Eat Cake!
