Is Anyone Still Out There?

If you are even reading this, you are an angel. I know I have been the worst blogger the past couple of months. I have to explain why. First of all, I have been working non-stop so my breakfasts and lunches and dinners are pretty un-exciting to post. Plus, I go out a lot, and forget to snap pics of my dinner. And I am pretty right to think you guys all know what granola with almond milk, fruit, nuts and Lara bars look like...

I have also spent a couple weekends out of town, Brooklyn, etc...and fail to remember my camera. I promise my next inspiring meal will make the cut...my mom is making a vegan soup/stew tonight because I am very sick, more on that later, but maybe her meal will make the next blog ;)

So besides working ALL the time, I had a very very dear friend of mine pass away in the last couple of weeks. He had been sick for a year with a brain tumor, and two Saturdays ago, he passed. I am grateful I went to visit him the morning that he died, and I spoke a eulogy at the funeral which many people have told them got to know Danny even better then they ever thought they could. I have been spending a lot of time with his family, as he leaves behind a beautiful wife and two young boys. He and I were very close, and I will miss him dearly. 

This photo is taken of us when he and his family came to visit me in South Florida at school one year.

And on top of everything else, I woke up yesterday with a horrible flu/cold/throat hurting/head pounding sickness. I had not been sick since I became vegan! Amazing, and that was almost 5 years ago in Dublin, so something has reared its ugly head. Since I have tonight off and tomorrow (hopefully) I thought I would take some time to blog. I still check all of your lovely blogs when I can, and will comment back, I promise!
