I knew one day hard work would pay off

I just received the above Tweet. To say I am excited is not even close. Everyone else here at home base, Patti and Lisa are also excited since they do a huge amount of work in the background, judging and helping me review posts.

I’m not going to go on and on, but for the writers and readers of this publication, this recognition is in large part due to you also. So you should be excited.

When I started the magazine on Flipboard, it was just another way to get your posts out to the world. Now your work will get even more recognized.

This recognition by Flipboard proves that it doesn’t matter about the size of the publication or how the content is written.

If it’s imperfect it’s perfect!

I want to thank all the writers and followers who have made this happen, but I want to especially thank Patti my wife, Lisa our daughter and Andrew our son who have to listen to me go back and forth about keeping this publication going. This proves we need to continue.

I have a beautiful family that always comes first and enjoys my cooking. I write, publish, cook, and podcast. I’m an imperfect writer and proud of it.
