Deborah Joy Phelps

When Deborah Joy Phelps writes about food her story takes us beyond measurements, spices and herbs.  She stirs in the flavor of the cook’s personality.

Deborah Joy, now on the good side of 60, is an artist when it comes to meeting new people and truly connecting with them.  Her contact is immediate and spontaneous.  This is probably due to the fact that she loves people and is genuinely interested.  Since she is authentic and engaging in her interaction, people tend to show their genuine self with her and let down barriers.

Adding the essence of the cook to the recipie brings a special flavor beyond food.

I love the message of the Blueberry Star in the previous post.  We don’t  have to travel to foreign places or meet celebrities to discover life’s messages.   The star on a blueberry reminds us that miracles surround us.  We need only to be tuned into them and relish in  their beauty to find courage  and joy in each day.

This is one of Dorothy Oliveau’s  picture poetry messages.  She wrote them for her friends throughout her later years.   She was a very talented woman who managed to find the beauty in each day no matter what was happening in her life.  – A wonderful role model of AgeEsteem.

• The next time you eat a blueberry, take a moment to discover its beauty.
• Enjoy its aroma and savor the taste.
• Remember that blueberries are one of the healthiest foods for keeping your mind alert.
