Sweet friends

Some days I feel very lucky. Especially when I realize what great friends I get to connect with. This month,  I took an amazing trip with two amazing women to a location in Arizona where we had an unbelievable, cathartic, mindful, cleansing weekend filled with thoughts of letting go, getting out of our comfort zone, and trying new things. I have to thank M and S for such a memorable time. It's moments in time like this that really lift us and carry us through anything that life gives us. The food was inventive, the beauty was one of a kind, the horseback riding was ...well, challenging but exciting nonetheless.


I am also thankful for friends closer to home. This past weekend, I attended the funnest party I've been to in ages. It was filled with laughter, love, food (think empanadas), culture, fond memories, new bonds, and hope. Of course I had to make a little something sweet for such a sweet group of people. My caramel mousse cake with a hidden walnut base was a major hit for these discerning palettes.
Now I need to figure out what to make for this belly dancing group for our next gathering......
