The awesome Peggy Bojduj

Living the Good Life on the Central Coast

I was motivated today to think about all of the things in life for which I am extremely grateful: my soul mate Dan who is a great and loving husband, and my best friend who understands my moods -- he is the best thing that ever happened to me. I also love my wonderful and talented friends in the food and wine industry, telling their stories, sharing their wine or dining in their restaurants. I feel quite fortunate to live on the Central Coast where we have a wealth of great foods and wines. And lastly I’m totally appreciative of Kennedy Fitness Center where incredibly motivated people, like fitness instructor Peggy Bojduj helped me become an athlete again. When times are tough, be it stress, tight budgets, or things just not going as I planned, I find comfort and drive by remembering all that I’m grateful for in my life.

Becoming one with the world wide web

My own blog at last, and I'm excited about it. I've longed to publish my wine and food columns, add photos by the talented Dan Hardesty, and write about my great finds in food and wine everywhere I travel. And though I've been telling these stories for the last 13 years, my readership was pretty much restricted to the Central Coast of California. Now I can share the news of this outstanding wine and culinary center with the world.
