We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.īut you know what? We change lives. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.” My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. “Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. I can’t be a purest all the time.Ībout a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”: I’ve decided there is a time and place for Oreos and Cool Whip. You basically buy a half dozen highly processed foods and toss them all together. This recipe swings the pendulum as far as it can reach from a “scratch” cake. It’s not easy to pack layer cakes “to go” for outdoor events. It also lent itself to the practical, give-away container. I have always loved the idea of dirt cake and decided to create this spooky, seasonal version.
I’d used animal crackers and straws to create a carousel cake.Īs I let the waves of nostalgia roll over me, I realized that I shouldn’t bake the cakes that I wanted to bake for last weekend’s event but to consider my audience and create something that would make the cake walk winners excited. Clearly, it was one of the biggest moments in my early childhood since I can still picture that winning number written in chalk peering out from under my feet! Earlier that week, I had enjoyed another cake-centered win by earning a blue ribbon in my class cake baking competition.
As adrenaline pumped through my little veins, I scanned the table of cakes and chose one to take home. When I was in third grade, I won the cake walk at Family Fun Night. Carnival-inspired games and the ever-popular though accident-inducing Space Walk (large, inflatable jumping cage) were crowd-pleasers. My elementary school hosted an annual event called Family Fun Night. While trying to decide what to make, I remembered back to my first cake walk memory. It’s quite thrilling, especially for baking/baked goods enthusiasts! The winner gets a cake as his or her prize. Participants walk in a circle on top of numbers and when the music stops, a number is randomly chosen. For those who don’t know what a cake walk is, I recently heard someone describe it as part musical chairs and part bingo. I always love an excuse to bake and don’t usually shy away from an opportunity to make a layer cake from scratch. This past weekend, I volunteered to make two cakes for the cake walk at our school’s fundraising event, Pumpkinpalooza.
