Recipe for an awesome party!

To me these are the Top Ten successful incredients of a great party:

1. A gracious host.
2. Healthy, creative and delicious food like veggie wraps, yummy salad with raisens and veggies, jalapeno jelly, lots of fruit and veg and other foods that melt in your mouth (chocolate hazelnut balls).
3. Good music - especially Karaoke sung by pros like Raquel, Marc Z and Sheila B.
4. Healthy and excited animals that fall in love to let's twist and shout and show their affection to their guests with frequent "caressing" of the legs.
5. A rocking cake with the three most important words to long term weight loss - no, not, "I love food!" but WRITE IT DOWN!
6. Tasty beverages... in moderation. :-) Cals added up quickly in liquid form.
7. The sound of laughter - especially Franks!
8. Wonderful warm cameraderie between people who cohesively desire to bring out the best in each other.
9. Genunine people who care about the wellbeing of themselves and others. A foundation to being able to help others in need is being strong yourself.
10. Cool, very awesome gifts! Like the new Apple iPad to store bunches of reading material.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed and coordinated the farewell party for Marc and I on Saturday night. I was sincerely overwhelmed by the support, enthusiasm, generosity and excitement for our new adventure. We will miss seeing you all in person but we are just a click away via email and we know that you will all continue to be pillars of strength to each other in your quest for long term healthy lifestyle.

Thank you - we had an absolute blast and I'll be sure to send lots of emails from my iPad!
