Magical. That is the only word that comes to mind to describe my evening at the Adult Literacy League fundraiser - Reading Between the Wines. All the dough making, scooping, baking and plating. All the lack of sleep, sore feet and pains in my back are a distant memory. All I can think of is how fortunate I was to have this opportunity. The opportunity to lay the foundation of my business on the principle of giving back...giving until you don't have anything left to give. I gave this event everything I had.
The cookies were a hit. A buzz creating, overwhelming hit. Surveying the room from my booth, I saw many happy faces eating cookies...Heartsong Cookies. This was like a dream for the cookie fairy in me. I got to give away cookies to a group of people raising money for adult literacy. Three hundred and sixty mini cookies. An assortment of White Chocolate Blueberry Pecan, Dark Chocolate Cherry, White Chocolate Macadamia and Tri Chip. I tried to pick flavors that would pair well with wine. The White Chocolate Blueberry Pecan and the Dark Chocolate Cherry created the most buzz. The White Chocolate Macadamia was the first to give out. All four flavors disappeared before the end of the event. Instead of a sell out, I had a give out...which is what my body is about to do right now. I am one exhausted and content cookie fairy.
Many hugs,
Kathy
