the ongoing process of growth, renewal, and transfermation in our lives.”

I hope as we burst through the holiday season, we are filled with a sense of not only growth and renewal, but  most of all love and togetherness. Just a notice to all blog readers that I am taking an extended break from blogging to enjoy my family during this time {but I can assure you, not from taking pictures). There have been many changes this year…99% great, and I want to relish in our excitement for the new year.

With that…I have some VERY (and I do mean, VERY special announcements).  Upon my return, on December 31st, I will be posting a HUGE blog FILLED with all the hubbub of expected new products and offerings at la Bella Vita, as well as a delectable blog contest to start out the new year (with PRIZES…oh how I love to GIVE them). I will post tons of photos, pages and pages worth probably since by then I will probably be having massive blog withdrawal. ( I wonder if they have a pill for that). I would like to sincerely thank everyone for making 2008 such a wonderful and blessed year for me and my new business, and I can only promise  you that 2009 will be more personal, more heartfelt, and more divine than the last.

xoxox….{Mandy}
