The Gift of Recieving!

Good Sunday afternoon to all,
There has been a lot of talk in the BraveHeart women's community lately about RECEIVING....
I have always enjoyed receiving, wither its a gift or a complement ! but nothing like I've just experienced this Friday night! I Love the blogs that Audie and Crystal have out on there recent receiving's and im filled with so much joy! As many of you know I prepare all the meals at Dr.Sugars Retreat and I feel so blessed and inspired to do so! When Dr.Sugar and I began on this journey together, I knew the one thing I would love to do was all the meals and after many taste tests and different recipes we came up with our menu.....I have truly enjoyed all the complements we have received on the meals and I feel it is an honor to be able to provide this gift to you all ! I have always loved being in the kitchen and I love food. Over the years I have eaten at some very fine restaurants the whole time thinking to my self I CAN DO THIS ...And going home and creating the same dish.This last Friday night My husband and I were invited along with our son to our friends house to have a meal prepared by CORY my sons best friend from Marshal texas.We knew this meal was going to be good as Cory is a chef,but what we didn't know was that Cory had been working on this plan and menu for three-four months.This 21 year old young Man had driven here instead of flying so he could bring his dinner ware that he had made for this dinner and all his culinary knifes,When we arrived he had our favorite wine and a menu of the 6 course meal he had prepared for us on each place setting .We visited, laughed and enjoyed each others company,and then sat down for dinner !!!!! Cory had prepared this meal and served us dish by dish
....Rainbow Trout Ceviche........Chilled Summer Squash Soup.........Raspberry ,Sage Intermezzo.........Arugula Salad ......Elk Mignon.....Crisp and smooth Dessert Plate....

It was out of this world.... to have been blessed to sit an RECEIVE a meal like this was pricless!
It was the best meal Ive ever had....
Before my journey with Dr. Sugars and the Retreats this meal would have still been a wonderful experience! But now where im at there were so many powerful gifts attached to this experience!
And I truly feel that God Rewarded me on Friday Night !!!!!! Thank -you all for allowing me to share with you this experience......
Open arms and ready to Recieve.....

With HOPE, COURAGE , DIVINITY.......
