I popped into @chocolatinenj early on Mother’s Day and was rewarded with this deliciousness.

Today would have been my friend Cathy’s 53rd bir Today would have been my friend Cathy’s 53rd birthday. Unfortunately she’s not here to celebrate because she died suddenly at age 49. I think of her often … every Mother’s Day because we spent most of them together since her husband worked weekends … when I discover a new food adventure (we once did a day long donut crawl) … when I’m sharing a special time with my kids knowing that her then-11 year old is growing up without her. Before she passed, I always appreciated every day, but since then, even more so. You never know what the next day can bring, so relish in the sunshine, surprise rainstorms, making wishes over railroad tracks and all the wonderful randomness life can throw your way. Don’t waste a single second, say yes, live on the outskirts of your comfort zone, laugh often, tell people you love them, give eight second hugs, and squeeze every ounce of joy you can out of life. Do it for the people who can’t. ✨

    Happy 28th! 28 is an auspicious number among the Chinese as it sounds like the words “easy to prosper” … wishing that comes true for you!

    Happy Birthday #28, Sis! In numerology, the 28th year begins a fresh, brand new, originating cycle; it equals = Number One. A clean slate. So whatever you’ve been hankering to do – now is the time to initiate it! :-)
