…and now I return to blogland. It has been dark and quiet here in Nova Scotia and very, very cold and lonely. I have learned a lot during my cyber hiatus and while stuck inside I found solace in my kitchen and realized that I am more a foodie than ever. Food is where my passion is.
I still have to be super careful about my health so my online commitment must be strict. I will write here and only here. I can not go visiting other blogs. If that’s a problem, then feel free not to come back. This is the only way I can be online.
Thanks to my sister Jamie‘s creativity group Circe’s Circle, I have found profound connection to food through my writing. It has started an amazing culinary and literary journey for me. The experience has been so deep and life altering, I feel forever changed and more focused than ever. Thanks also goes out to the amazing Tammy! I have absolutely adored getting to know you better with our weekly phone calls and hope that you will still be friends with me even though you have seen/heard me at my worst! LOL.
For now, have a pastrami sandwich on homemade caraway rye bread and a swig of Suzie The Foodie’s brew of mango iced tea:
Life is hard here in Nova Scotia but I can make it delicious.
Welcome back!! I’m so glad to see you in the blogsphere again – and am thrilled I get to leave the first comment on your new blog!! Your bread, sandwich and ice tea look amazing. Good thing I’m off to the market – I don’t think I could go too long without food after looking at this!
I’m finally back in blogland again too – with my original blog and also a professional blog. If you do feel like surfing one day, feel free to come by – you don’t have to comment or feel obligated – your health of course is the most important thing 🙂
Love ya!
Welcome back, Suzie! You were greatly missed during your hiatus. {{hugs}}
I’m glad you are back. 🙂
Welcome back, my friend!!! It was so good to hear your voice yesterday! And, of course, I am happy just to come and read your blog when I can. I’ve been unable to keep up with blog reading myself and I love the way you are making your intentions clear. Anyway, I know you think of all of us and we think about you too! That’s the cool thing about blogging. 😉
love you! and welcome back! 🙂
j.
I was hoping that you just needed a rest – Oh! I love pastrami sandwiches!
Suzie! I’m happy for you! Sounds like your decision is a good one for you and you’ve lined out how you’ll be participating online which is so good!!
I can’t believe that our Circe’s Circle time is almost at an end. I’ve loved every minute of our weekly phone calls and getting to know you so much better! (And of course, Jamie too!!)
I haven’t decided about my own blog status yet, but I will definitely visit you here. I may write again, but I’m not sure just yet. Things are still in turmoil here at the Durham ranch…
Can’t wait for our celebration call on Tuesday! 🙂
What a wonderful welcome back! You all warm my heart so much and thank you for being so understanding about my blogging situation. Bloggers truly rock! I’ve missed you.
Oh and Tammy, I know, it’s crazy that CC is almost over! What will we do without it? Somehow we will keep in touch and keep inspiring each other, with or without blogs, OK?
Yay! I’m so glad that Suzie is back in blogland again! I totally understand your blogging situation and establishing clear limits and boundaries is definitely a healthy habit to have. I’m happy that I can once again come over here and read about your foodie adventures.
Sometimes we need an introspective winter from hell to see our visions clearly!
Yay for you! You are amazing and it’s so good to read your words again.
Thanks so much Jenn! For your understanding and support. It’s great to hear from you!
Boho Mom, it’s so true, sometimes we need to hibernate and come out fresh and anew. I needed to focus on food and not on home. One day I will go home, for now I am in Nova Scotia!
Suzie!!! It’s so good to see you, I’ve thought of you so often and have hoped you’re well.
I completely understand that you can’t visit around, and I support you taking care of yourself.
I just got back from a trip to Chicago! I had a great time and took plenty of pictures.
Hi Kenora! Thank you so much for visiting, it’s wonderful to hear from you and thank you also for your support. I’m doing strict self-care and so far so good.
Wow, Chicago? I’d love to hear more and see more!
