It would be an understatement to say that 2006 was a challenging year for me. It was marked with loss and grief. Through it all, I have had the love and support of the people around me. Each of you are in my thoughts as we transition into a new year today. You all mean more to me than I can ever tell you.
In spite of it all, it was also a year of great friendships, great food, and beautiful images. This blog has been a sense of accomplishment and comfort for me this year...and has allowed me to stay connected to the worlds of food, photography, and writing when it would have been easy for me to fade away. Thank you to all of you out there in food blog land that stop in here to check things out. Also, thank you so much to all of the other immensely talented folks around the world that pour themselves into their blogs, as well. You're such an inspiration.
My wish for all of you - as well as myself - is a year full of safety, good health, personal growth...and of course lots of yummyness!
