What have been some of your failures, and what have you learned from them?

" I think that the idea of “failure” is an illusion that is the natural outcome of unmet hopes and/or expectations—which are simply reflections of our “ego,” not our Truth. Because of this, I would have to describe my “failures” as those times when I have found myself unable to live fully in the present moment and accept life as it actually was." ~ Dr. Theresa Nicassio

YUM Wins A GOURMAND “Best In The World” Cookbook Award!

A DREAM COME TRUE... YUM is a "Best In The World" 2016 Gourmand World Cookbook Award Winner!!!

Perhaps it is because as a cookbook author, the loftiest dream one can have (likened to winning an Academy Award "Oscar") is to one day receive the honour of winning a Gourmand World Cookbook Award. With over 10 thousand entries from 209 countries, it doesn't get much better than this!
