without further adieu

I hardly expect that there is this huge gathering of people out there checking this here little blog on a daily basis...maybe one (if that), so, for you, my one dedicated reader, I apologize for my lack of posts over the past couple weeks. I lost my Grandma. The things that used to bring me so much joy are now taking some time for me to get back into.

And, while in the process of recovering from a cold, I found myself with enough downtime to finish a couple books I started reading months ago. One of them has left me with a lot of inspiration and encouragement. I highly suggest reading Lisa Price's memoir about starting her fragrance, bath and body company, Carol's Daughter. (one of these days I'll order myself some Almond Cookie body spray - doesn't that sound wonderful???)
