Its the start of the New Year and I’m so glad 2013 has ended.It will forever be the most difficult year of my life, having lost my Dad .I still cannot believe that he’s gone and I yearn to hear his voice, his phone calls, his messages and struggle with it everyday.
To add to the pain,my Mom had a health scare just two days before the year ended.Thankfully she’s stable now and recovering.The last few months have been extremely hard for me and made me see life in a totally different way.Events like these make you appreciate the value of life and teach you to enjoy every moment with your near and dear ones because you don’t know what the next moment has in store for you.
While 2013 was extremely difficult for me personally, it was a great year for my blog in terms of growth and I also got to work with some well known brands like Campbells, Bertolli and Gourmet Garden to name a few.I look forward to working with these brands again and add many more to the list in 2014.
In-spite of so much turbulence going on in my life, YOU my dear readers were always here reading my stories and encouraging me with your kind words.Every time you visit my site,comment,read a recipe, you motivate me to keep cooking and sharing my recipes with you.It has helped me immensely and kept me going throughout and I have to thank each and every one of you.
