Indeed, this blog has an older post on this topic, which is shared further below. For those who do not know her, Jean is a wonderful friend and an inspiring community member who is full of compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is amusing is that today happens to be the <em>National Cake Day<\/em> (<a href=\"https:\/\/shorturl.at\/aB026\">https:\/\/shorturl.at\/aB026<\/a>). Regardless, in Bambi&#8217;s mind, only someone filled with an inspiring empathy would do the following: leaving a piece of her delicious freshly baked cake on the house door knob, early in this morning, to cheer her friend up during busy seasons and in times of wars in our world, namely in the Middle East and Ukraine, etc. Thank you dear Jean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of note, it has often been said that opening our heart to others would increase our levels of happiness. Clearly, Jean&#8217;s heart is wide open. Perhaps it is because, deep inside, she understood the secret to a happy life. With much love, Bambi will thank her now, wishing her more happiness for years to come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, since the gifted Jean is fluent in French, this post will end with the <em>Happiness Cake <\/em>song. The latter, which is composed by Ms. Brigitte and Jean-Paul Artaud, is performed by a group of talented kids who sing while baking a cake filled with happiness. Bambi will offer this wise song to her friend, first and foremost, and indirectly to all of you wherever you may be.
