Cooking has always been a metaphor for life for me. This GUMBO LOVE excerpt is from the section ‘Ten Grateful Ingredients For A Bright Life and A Happy Kitchen’.  It’s a welcome and needed reminder for me to take my own advice as the whirlwind of the book tour gets underway.

“If I’m out of options or running in circles trying to find a solution or make something happen, I’ve found that I’m trying too hard. I need to breathe. I need a moment to get still so I can hear what life wants me to do….When you don’t know what to do, do nothing. When you feel the heat building and the countertop starting to spin, stop what you’re doing and take a deep breath to get your bearings.”

Come see me out there on the road! #GumboLove
