How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
A b'zillion ways times seven!
I can't count that high. So, let me just say that I love love love love love my blog buddies. A lot.
You're such faithful readers. You leave the best comments. You tweet me. You email. You're quick to sing my praises, that's for sure. You inspire me. And, I am richly blessed.
Besides all of YOU, here's three more things that I L♥VE...
Unless you've been living under a rock, you know how crazy I am about my boyfriend culinary genius Matthew Kenney. Wanna see him in action as he channels a new recipe onto the page? Just click on that link.
I own three of his books. His most recent, Entertaining In The Raw
(March 2009), takes raw living food to a whole new level. I wouldn't even classify it as gourmet. Work-of-art is more like it.

I'm always so happy when my Yoga Journal
arrives in the mail. It's a wonderful magazine that inspires and relaxes at the same time. There are articles on poses, with clear photos, succinct instructions, and explanations on how to modify them if you need to. There are pieces on healthy eating, meditation, forgiveness, fashion, books, back pain, mindfulness. There are stories from real people, talking about how even minor changes in their lifestyle brought about significant results, while others share their journey of healing from a life-threatening illness.
