Saturday Blogsurfing

I am in a very difficult time in my life right now, with a lot of decisions looming. For the first time in very nearly 50 years I feel like an adult. I am not sure I like the feeling. For the first time in my life I feel quite alone… and in some ways it feels much like I suspect a new born feels at birth.
Space, cold, light, frightened, curious…wanting to be held…craving sustenance and affirmation and encouragement that this big, new world will be o.k.
I feel odd facing these challenges at this age, going into the Holidays, and at the time in my life when I should be the happiest, most secure, and most content. I know that my faith/trust/hope in God will see me through and the outpouring of love and prayers and well wishes from my fans, readers, friends, family, and followers has been, in a word, staggering. Thank you.
I have many challenges ahead, many difficult choices, and painful journeys through my thoughts, memories, and the dark recesses of my mind where I haven’t peeked in years. But hey, on the bright side, there will be awesome food, right?
So, I am ready for some surfing. You?
- Chai Coffee Cake from Tartelette looks like a great way to get a chilly day on track.
- Snickers Surprise Cookies from Jenny Bakes…wow..no surprise that they look great.
- Homemade Candy Corn from Dessert First..I love candy corn..really really love it.
- Stuffed Breakfast Poblano Peppers from Mele Cotte …Oh my these look good!

Have a great weekend.

Hey, thanks for the link!
Also, I don’t know what you’re facing, but I know that God won’t give us what we can’t handle or aren’t equipped to deal with if we earnestly try to follow Him. Just keep praying and trusting in His direction and He will be there for you. =)
thanks..I know. I will get through this!
Hello Marye,
I hope that whatever you’re going through turns out okay–or at least, that you’re okay within the situation. When I was having a hard time last year, the only thing I could think of to do was to make my Nana’s recipes. When in doubt, bake…
I wrote about how making Nana’s comfort food helped me after I got laid off in a book called “Cherries in Winter.” I wrote it to help people remember what I’d learned: that our families have gotten through rough times, and that we’re made of strong stuff. I’d be pleased to send you a copy, if you’d like.
Take care and be well,
Suzan
Suzan you are so sweet. It is true that food returns us to not only our roots but it seems to remind us of what out basic needs are.
Wow! Thanks for linking to my peppers! I appreciate it.
no problem..they looked awesome
