Wordless Wednesday: Jelly Bellys!

March 10, 2010 | Disclosure, Snapshots

I attended the South Beach Wine & Food Festival last month (if you haven’t read my interview with Food Network’s Marcela Valladolid, check it out now!) and it’ definitely foodie’s paradise.

Handprint Merlot, Meeker Winery

“Blah, blah, blah.” When attending wine tasting and visiting wineries, that’s pretty much what I hear. “Blah, blah, blah.”

With age comes wisdom and over the years I’ve come to accept there are people who come into our lives who are meant to be within our circle. They are in sync with our schedules, can pick up conversation with them after years of not seeing each other, and they bring peace and harmony in their own way. They are great traveling buddies, always remember to say a kind word, and seem to reach out at just the right moments in our lives.

And then there are those who create chaos and disruptions. These are the people who you need to force pleasantries and schedules never sync up. They are the ones who let you down. (more…)
