Thank you

Hello all


I just wanted to thank all of you for your emails, voicemails and cards. The support received from my virtual friends and family has been quite overwhelming.


These three months have been quite difficult, but the pain--still intense--slowly subsides. For those of you who've asked, I have joined a bereavement group and it is of some comfort.

I haven't forgotten any of you, nor my sites. There are still many things that require my attention, so I'm going to be away for a little while longer.


Thanks so much for your patience, support and understanding...

  7. Jasmine, sweetheart - I'm sure I can speak for everyone in saying that we will wait as patiently as you need us to. What is more important is that you have the courage and heart that is required to pick yourself up again. Tend to whatever you need to, including yourself. But don't forget that we all look forward to seeing you back here again...
    Much love xx

  10. Oh Jasmine, I was so happy to see this pop up in my rss reader. There have been so many times in the last couple of week that I've thought of you and wondered how you were doing. I know time is the only thing that can really help in a situation like this, and I'm glad you are taking the time you need, but just wanted you to know that we have not forgotten you.

  12. Jasmine,

    I missed this sad event until just today with your return, which I am glad to see. You and Michael look so happy in that picture, what a great pair of smiles.

    Be well and take all the time you need, the Web waits for all people.

  13. Jasmine, you don't know me, but I'm a new DBer and I was checking your blog for the latest challenge... when I found your most recent posts. I am so very sorry. I know what it is to lose someone you love and you go numb for a while and life is surreal. You will never forget, nor should you be expected to. I lost my sister three years ago, but she is still with me in my heart because she is part of who I am. It is my hope that in time, you will find peace and strength in the love you shared. I am so sorry.

  14. Thank you for the update - I've been thinking about you and checking back! A good friend of mine lost her husband several years ago, and one of the things she said repeatedly was that she couldn't quite bring herself to do things (social activities) but she still liked to be asked. Consider this your invitation - we'll be here waiting when you are ready!

  19. I have been thinking of you often, and with great wishes for healing.Be gentle with yourself and don't feel there's anything you have to do as far as the blog. We read it because we care for you (whether we *know* you in real life or not!). Take the time you need for you, as long as that may be and whatever that looks like.

  26. Jasmine, I was on your site again today to get your wonderful Masala Chai recipe, which I am enjoying a cup of now, and I was happy and surprised to see your new post.

Thanks for stopping by.

I love visitor reactions but not anonymous notes, comments which went one round too many on the spin cycle, part of an inflammatory campaign, or those best left for the compost heap. And yes, comments left by "content marketers" are spam, in my eyes and will be dealt with accordingly.

The recipes I post have worked for me, but if you've had problems, I'll do my best to help. Attacks based on results because you've not followed what I've posted (changed ingredients, cooking methods and/or quantities) won't be posted.

In other words: be kind or constructive, not libellous or smarmy.
