Happy New Year! In addition to the holidays, we just celebrated 2 birthdays and my 3rd blogging anniversary. This is an eventful time of year for us. We have several more birthday’s coming up too.
Looking back at 2014
I’ve been doing a lot of reminiscing as the new year began. A few things that come to mind include:
- I launched my ebook, The Plant-Based Diet Starter Guide on January 1, 2014
- Our oldest son joined the Navy
- Our daughter graduated from high school
- I started Fresh Focus LLC
- Our two little guys started kindergarten and preschool.
- My husband lost his job
- I started working full-time
- I started pre-selling my eCourse (that launched January 1, 2015)
All in all, it’s been a great year.
Grateful
We feel extremely grateful, even though my husband lost his job, we had a little money in savings to help us out. I was able to find a job that I love, blog writing and doing social media for a faith-based non-profit. In my new job, I am so much more aware of the suffering and devastation that takes place outside of my sheltered little world but I’m also overwhelmed by the love and compassion I see every day. While we continue to pray for a job for my husband we have faith and know God is with us.
I’ve also been looking back at this blog over the last year.

Thank you for joining me on the allergy-friendly, plant-based journey! I’ve enjoyed getting to know many of you through blog comments, on social media and in the My Plant-Based Family Facebook Group.
I don’t make resolutions but my goal for this year is to continue to create healthy recipes that your whole family will love. If you are new to the plant-based lifestyle consider joining the eCourse that recently started! It’s not too late and we have a great group participating!
Congrats on the new job, Holly, and your new e-course! Exciting things are happening in your world. Go get ’em, girl! 😉
Thanks so much!
I love reading your blog, and always look forward to new recipes!
Thanks Sarah! I have more recipes I need to post but I haven’t found the time to get the pictures ready. I’ve got a new soup, a new chili and a few more things. I’ll try to share them soon!
