Hey all…I’m still here and kicking around…and loving my space!! The lovely scent of pine is now infusing the interior of my domicile as I purchased a bitty Charlie Brown tree this weekend. It may be the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen (about three feet tall and only five bucks!). Too much fun…

Okay, on the BTD front:

I have gotten the most lovely communications within the past week or so and all I can say is THANK YOU for your ever-kind words. Feedback is touching and sometimes desperately needed to rejuvenate lagging compliance, or just cold-weather doldrums. Keep up your journey Sally and all of us…we deserve to live better, eat better and FEEL better!!

With the change in weather, I’ve been crazy over soup making. I have forgotten how much the body wants to hunker down and CHOW once the temperatures begin to drop…I’ve been an eating machine! I’ve also been craving heavier and sweeter items…so this week I’m loaded with parsley soup and plenty of steamed veggies so that if I can’t control the urge...to...feed (insert booming announcer voice here), at least I’m not baking a quarter batch of cookies or something! I know I’ve promised it before…and I’ll promise it again…that long-delayed salmon recipe is on its way, as well as a delicious turkey soup, and maybe a few other odds and ends.

Sorry I took such a long hiatus…I do hope that this finds you all compliant, safe, sane and smiling. Be well…
