I recently received an email from a reader frustrated because she wanted more "actual recipes."
My first reaction was to get defensive.
Do you ever do that?
As a people pleaser with perfectionist tendencies, it's usually my first line of response.
Sad but true.
But then I got centered and took several deep, soothing, calming breaths, which was just what I needed so see things from her point of view.
Because I've been busy for the past several years providing "actual recipes" on the blog and eCookbooks filled with "actual recipes" - I forget that everyday hundreds of NEW people visit Simple Nourished Living and sign up for my emails and they have no way of knowing this!
