Leave it to me to use food adjectives to describe the past few days of my joyful life. Much has happened since my last post. Each day added the perfect ingredients...leaving me with an exquisite week to savor.
It all started on Tuesday, the anniversary of one of the best days of my life...the day I married my best friend, Mike Paiva, eight amazing years ago. We celebrated at one of our favorites, The Ravenous Pig, with wine, beer, caramel corn (the best ever!), biscuits (also the best ever!), charcuterie, mussels and great conversation. We left with full bellies and happy hearts.
Tuesday was also special because I met with Jen, owner of Bikes, Beans and Bordeaux, to discuss entrepreneurship and the possibility of putting Heartsong Cookies in her cafe. Jen offered great insight into starting a business and reinforced the fact that I have to make money. She really liked the breakfast cookies I dropped off last week on a whim and gratefully accepted the White Chocolate Blueberry Pecan and Ginger Peach Almond Cookies I brought to the meeting. She must have liked them as well because I received an e-mail a couple of hours later extolling the virtues of the WCBP Cookie.
Tuesday was a joyful day indeed...all the ingredients were coming together for the perfect week.
On Wednesday, Morgan and David added some laughter and warmth to my life stew. We met at Siam Garden for lunch to discuss the Save The Date piece for their wedding, my website progress and life. Morgan asked me a simple question that touched my heart and made me think. She asked me what words of wisdom I could share about marriage as they embarked on their life together. My answers were not profound. I simply said...talk about anything and everything, laugh, don't take each other too seriously and don't try to make the other into something they are not.
Morgan and David are amazing individuals that together will be an unstoppable force. I see qualities of myself in Morgan and qualities of Mike in David. If their pairing is half as wonderful as my life with Mike, they will be blessed with a joyful life together.
Well I am only halfway through the recipe and feel like I have written a novel. I think it is best to make this a two parter.
Many hugs and joyful days,
Kathy
