Letting Go

I took the pressure off myself and ordered some vegan  desserts for a party tonite.  I’m not a vegan, or a vegetarian, although I love veggies.  A woman in my writing group who has a son on a special diet brought a vegan dessert to a potluck a year or so ago, and it was sssooooo good.  Although I’ve already ordered desserts for tonite, i just got an email with the link to the recipe and I’m going to make that too, just because it’s saturday and i feel like baking.  the recipe is from isa chandra moskovitz and its a lemon coconut bundt cake.  Now i’ve never been a big coconut in my desserts person, but believe me, this is worth trying, it’s addicting, i’ve been dreaming about it ever since.  Gonna buy me a bundt pan in a few minutes.  think i’m going to buy that vegan cookbook too, she’s my kinda cook.  Thanks to my very successful published teen author friend Stacey for turning me on to it!

Joy and Friendship

I’ve heard it all my life in one form or another. Follow your passion. It took this long to figure out what that means. I am so blessed in so many ways, and have so many creative, kind, real, thoughtful people in my life. I’ve learned to let go of the ones that just don’t fit into what I want my world to be. And those that remain continue to inspire and enlighten me. I am thankful.

Cutting Acquantances Loose

It’s hard to leave someone behind, but if their beliefs, their actions, their lifestyle causes you stress, it’s not worth it. Unfortunately then you have to put up with their scripted storytelling to anyone who will listen to how they have once again become a victim and need sympathy. So nice to leave that behind. I do have sympathy for people who lack emotional maturity, that don’t understand that relationships between friends are just like relationships with lovers in that sometimes it doesn’t work, it isn’t right. Neither is right, neither is wrong, it just didn’t work. Let it go.
