Soap Making at its Finest

As one cartoon character says, “the secret ingredient is love”.  I have found (this is really true!) that when I make soap just to be making soap, it is nothing special.  It becomes a mass produced, carbon copy soap batch just like all the others.  When I make soap and put my entire being into it and focus on all aspects, which for me, includes my spirituality and communion with God, the environment and nature, that soap tends to be so much better.  It takes on a life of its own.  It really is true though.  So, now the thing is, which soap has the secret ingredient and which one doesn’t?  Huh?
