The Christmas Season is here again – it seems the older we get the faster this happens and we oftentimes wonder what has happened to the past year, where did the time go, did we take advantage of that time, did we reach our goals or did we even managed to hit the halfway mark, just how comfortable are we with the accomplishments we have made over the past year or did we get anything done at all.
WHAT REALLY MATTERS
The good news is none of that matters because we do not have the ability to do an instant recall. Maybe that is a good thing as perhaps most of us would likely bypass that option if it were available. Here is what matters: Christmas gives us an opportunity to rekindle relationships, share with our loved ones, our neighbors and friends – and that is what matters most. In our home Christmas is always a grand celebration mostly because we choose to give thanks for a year past – and welcome the new year in grand style.
YESTERDAY IS DEAD AND GONE, BUT TOMORROW...
In fact to quote a songwriter from yesteryear whose name escapes my memory – I believe the exact line in the song is: Yesterday is dead and gone – but tomorrow is yet unborn And that should be our resolve. So gather your friends, relatives, co-workers, church sisters and brothers, walking buddies, and all the people who help to shape your life. Together you can lay the framework for a Happy and Joyful Holiday and a Prosperous, Healthy and Productive 2019. Most importantly: give thanks for the opportunity to celebrate again, I’m sure there are people we all knew and loved who are no longer able to.
EVERY LITTLE BITE!
A gathering is not complete without breaking bread and sharing with each other. It is my pleasure to share two of my very special recipes that are simple, fun and easy to prepare.
2019 will be a new beginning for Flavacooks. We're getting ready to launch a podcast later on in January! It will be about food, flavor, and the life of chef extraordinaire Marlene Myrie. You'll be able to experience all of its savory zest by following along here on Flavacooks. Later on in the year, Marlene will publish another hot new eBook. It will be titled 40 Under 40, and it will feature recipes bursting with flavor, and able to be prepped and served in 40 minutes or left, which sounds perfect for busy people who are reading this article. Meanwhile, you can also get your Flava fix from us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Etsy. For even more Flava, check out Marlene's ebook on Amazon.
