Gratituesday: My Readers

August 21, 2012 by Holly Yzquierdo 3 Comments

I am so grateful for you. Yes you! On Tuesday’s I like to participate in Gratituesday over at Heavenly Homemakers and write about something I am grateful for.

Today I want to write about and give thanks to you, my readers. I’m so thankful for the time you take to read this blog. Some of you have subscribed to this blog and other just happen upon it while searching for plant-based pointers, and still more follow it on Facebook. To all of you, no matter how you found me I want to say thank you!

I get extremely excited (just ask my husband) when new people follow my blog especially when some of you leave comments or email me. I love having a dialogue, Facebook is so great for that. I may not respond to every comment but I do try. (I have one comment that I need to do more research on, I haven’t responded to that one but I will!)

I’ve also made some great friends through this blog. Breht we totally need to get together again! Valerie you are a blessing to me! Kelli, I look forward to getting together sometime soon my friend! There are more but I can’t mention them all, I would leave someone out so I won’t even try.

There have been some really neat situations where someone (HI Steffi) was reading my blog for months then came to my Food Demo with a friend, she lived in the same neighborhood. How cool is that?

I secretly want to do a cartwheels when someone I know tells me they read my blog, or even that their friend/mom/sister reads it. I’m guessing that is how rock stars feel. I’ve had friends call or text that they are going plant-based (not because of my blog but it still makes me just as happy) and I wanted to do a full on floor routine. I love it when people choose health!

You all (my dear readers) make me feel very blessed and for that I am thankful.

Gratituesday: New Relationships

June 12, 2012 by Holly Yzquierdo Leave a Comment

Over the last several weeks I have had the opportunity to meet several new friends. Some of these friends I haven’t actually “met” but I’ve been conversing with them online. I know that sounds kinda creepy but I assure you it’s not. Some of these new connections have been through my blog or through My Plant-Based Family on Facebook. Mostly they have been amazing women who are friends with Amanda, my friend who had a stroke 3 weeks ago.

Others I have met and we even had lunch together. Later this week I’m getting together with an acquaintance, but since she is such an amazing women I hope we become fast friends.

Most of these new relationships will probably stay casual friendships or even just acquaintanceship; but a few have the potential to be something more. Before moving to Arizona in 2006 I had a few really good friends. My friend Autumn since junior high, Crissy since high school, and Jessica who I worked with after college. We didn’t talk often but we appreciated each other and knew we could depend on each other. Since moving here I have made some friends that I believe will be life long friends. I know I can depend on these friends no matter what.

It’s exciting to think that right now may be beginning of a life long friendship. So this post is to all my new friends out there…Kelli, Krista, Breht, Angela, Melodee, Lisa, Susan, Heather, Nancy, Kathy, Angie, Danica, Kris, Ashley and the others that I am forgetting… today I am grateful for you.

Have you wondered why I post Gratituesday each Tuesday? It is because I like taking one day a week to share what I’m thankful, grateful for. Laura at Heavenly Homemakers has been doing it for years and she gives other bloggers an opportunity to “link up” their blog too. I enjoy clicking through the links and being encourage by what other people are grateful for, and seeing how God is working in their lives. Last week I had a crazy dream that Laura emailed me asking to stop commenting! I told you it was crazy! I think about what I’m going to post for Grati(Tuesday) all week-long. So all week I’m thinking about all of the things I am thankful for. You don’t have to blog about it but feel free to leave a comment so others can be encouraged.
