This cookbook is a labour of love, that's for sure but somehow in the future when probably there will be a continuation of it, I wish you to do it the way you'd want it - having time for everything. You'll probably laugh out loud and tell me to stop interrupting the work of one cookbook with the idea of another but I am certain you're heading in the amazing direction of only just opening the Sesame. xxx today my wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13595335624378637770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035717604681554803.post-1238184106222335492014-07-22T18:46:52.829-04:002014-07-22T18:46:52.829-04:00Wow, that's a huge undertaking!

I have read your life story...Let me tell ya, mama. I have read your life story here on this blog and I know that everything in you will make this book amazing. You are doing it from a place of love and any time we make decisions based on love, it's the right decision and the universe will see you through to the end. (at least IMO) I love the fact that you share candidly and you tell the truth; I am no good at creating romance where there is struggle (unless, and there sometimes is, a certain romance to the struggle.) There is a romance in your struggle. You are finding balance and developing a deeper appreciation of life around you. I cannot wait for you to share your cookbook with us, as you have shared your life with us. (My husband is looking forward to a little vegan cuisine in our life, too. I usually adulterate your vegan recipes with a little meat. Oops.) <br /><br />Like I said in the little letter I wrote you, you are an amazing mama and it's beautiful to witness your journey in all things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035717604681554803.post-44955060885918222662014-07-19T20:15:24.534-04:002014-07-19T20:15:24.534-04:00I am seriously in love with those plates.

I just wanted to tell you that I love reading about your life because you are so truthful. Sometimes blog authors tend to lean toward the "everything is perfect" side of things but you inspire me to keep going through the hard times by sharing some of your own struggles. PS where are the Mango farms you mentioned in your last post?

I'm sure it's been rough - you have such an amazing emphasis on family and experiencing the little moments in life and I have no doubt it's been hard on you. But you're so close! The light is at the end of the tunnel! And just think, even though it seemed like an "I can't do this" task, you're doing it! And you're almost done - I'm so excited for you, Drea!
