No Fail Gifts: Artisanal Foods Make All the Difference, especially if it’s Robert Lambert Artisanal Foods
December 18, 2013 | 
Author One of the most common challenges of the holiday (read ‘gift-giving’) season is finding something for those people on your list that are difficult to buy for… Frequently, this is someone who can buy anything they want already. )(Heard Carson Daly talk about this today on his radio show!)
This category can also include grandparents and parents who delight in declaring, “I have everything I need”. Others who fall into this category relish their “mysterious” persona and seldom share personal interests, likes and dislikes (could be a colleague, employer or supervisor) Then there’s the hostess/host gift. Yes, you can bring wine. Yes, you can bring dessert. Yes, you can bring wine & dessert. Nothing wrong with that at all, but are these gifts for the host/hostess…or the guests?

Plug Into “Pushing Upward” fiction of an LA Girl Using the IChing by Andrea Adler!
I get lots of books to read and it’s rare the book that captures my attention to warrant me to tote the book to various appointments or start skipping TV and phone calls so I can read the book. I found one recently that I became so enamoured with that I finished it in two weeks! I love to read and I switch back and forth between books often. Not so with the book “Pushing Forward” by Andrea Adler!
