So… I was getting ready to publish a “woe is me” post outlining my annoyance at my current profession, the envy I feel because all my friends are having children and I’m not, the silly arguments Mr. T and I have had in the past week, and the fact that I have a cold and it’s 90F outside.
But then a friend who runs a B&B contacted me to tell me that she had scheduled a photo shoot for me with West magazine this Friday for my cooking classes.
Me. In West magazine. With a published recipe. And my contact information.
I shouldn’t stop reminding myself that when things seem to be going badly, it’s only because our energies are re-aligning themselves towards something new and better.
Now excuse me, I have to go figure out how to make and creatively plate ceviche with peaches.

Oh wow! Life really does seems to work that way, doesn’t it. I totally “feel you” on the overall frustration with things as we know it…luckily something good always manages to happen when we are ready to receive.
Good for you!!! Ceviche w/ peaches sounds OUTSTANDING!

That is great, congratulations. Peaks and valleys of life. We can’t distinguish the peaks without being in the valleys.

I was gonna say, Rachael Ray, get outta the way…but Mrs. Mogul said it. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one who gets a bit (ok, a LOT) envious of all people around us who seem to be popping out kids right, left and sideways, or gets colds in summer. It’s always worse to be sick in the summer, you’re miserable AND it’s hot. Stay well, m’dear.
And congratulations! Can’t wait to see it!
