One of the nicest things about life is the waywe must regularly stop whatever it is we are doing
and devote our attention to eating.

Lady R and I thank you sincerely for your good wishes and prayers. She is now home resting comfortably following two difficult and painful operations. I have persuaded her to start yoga and to replace her regular diet with organic lean protein, fruits and vegetables to strengthen her immune system whilst getting her mind and body ready for her upcoming chemotherapy. Please continue to pray for her.
My darlings be good to yourselves and rememberthe greatest wealth is health.
Dear Duchess,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear your friend is at home!!I send her all my best wishes, as always, your great advice and your words of love are the best gift a friend could receive.
A big hug and kisses for you and your dearest friend.

I don´t stop praying- for you both!
God bless you- many hugs and kisses - Ines

ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful, darling Duchess. xxx
Bonjour Duchess,
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear Lady R is back home and doing well. She is lucky to have such a loving friend with excellent advice to give. I will continue to pray for her speedy recovery! Hope you are doing well Duchess? Don't forget about yourself my friend.
Take care,

A sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm! What wonderful news about your friend! I'm sure that your friendship and positive thinking is doing it's share in her recovery. Remember to take care of yourself - your reserve of positive thinking and genuine goodness must always be renewed and nurtured. Sending waves and waves of love and support! Ciao, bella!
ReplyDeleteDear Duchess, I did not know that you had posted but came to tell you that I have been thinking of you very often in the last few days. I, of course, have, also, been praying! Then, I've come and seen a sweet message from you. Fruit and veggies are very sweet - you make them look, dare I say it, even more beautiful than your cakes. Also, you should know that, your words to us (especially at the moment) are carrying weight and the ability to echo on. Lead on, Dearest! (We seem to be strongest when we are the weakest and shine brightly when we are cracked and others can see our inner light....)
ReplyDeleteLove, Katy xxo
So Happy to see you on my sidebar today!
ReplyDeleteGreat advice for all of us! And, yes, I am Praying!
You are such an incedible friend to Lady R.
BLESSINS!!!

I will pray for your friend Duchess, she is one lucky girl to have you as a friend.
ReplyDeleteDarling Duchess, what a friend you are ! We are all praying for you. Could I also suggest a Chiropractor ? Mine specialises in nutrition and says that a healthy gut is key to general good health. If you can find one near to you I think it really might help. Anything to make your friend more comfortable might be good at this time. She is lucky to have you !
ReplyDeleteDuchess
ReplyDeleteits so good to hear from you sweetie,im soo glady Lady R is doing well,i have been praying for you and her,stop by soon and always know im here for you ,gentle hugs Cilla

ReplyDeleteCheers, Karen
Sending up a prayer for Lady R! And I love the new photos of the fresh produce .. different from your usual photos :)
ReplyDelete"The greatest wealth is health"...so true.
ReplyDeleteI am deeply sorry about your friend Duchess, I could tell by the last post I read of yours that you were saddened. Because I stepped away for almost a month from blogging I missed your news. I wish your be-loved friend a proper recovery. If she has you to care for her then she will be in perfect, caring hands. I adore what you wrote about good health is wealth. Nothing could be more true.
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs to you both xoxo deb
Gorgeous pictures of veggies! Love it.
