Sunday Spotlight

 
At the spur-of-the-moment baseball game I attended last week with a big group of people, I ended up sitting in between my friend and her husband’s brother, whom everyone calls “Uncle M.” When my friend left to catch up with a few other families in different sections partway through the game, Uncle M and I started chatting.  

That’s one of the things I love about baseball… The small amount of downtime in between each pitch and play basically encourages conversation and makes baseball games much more social than the action-packed, almost nonstop activity of other sports like basketball and hockey. And most baseball fans are such nice people to talk to!

During the next three innings, Uncle M and I chatted about his upcoming business trip to Germany, his son’s visit to the ER for a broken arm just two days earlier, and some of the players on our favorite baseball team. At the end of that inning, Uncle M whipped out his iPhone, pulled up Safari, and asked me to show him around my blog.

He scrolled through my most recent blog posts, admired my Healthier Chocolate Treats cookbook, and pointed out almost a dozen different recipes to his baking-obsessed daughter, who sat on his other side, that he thought she’d want to try. As the next batter approached home plate and the game resumed, he set up a special bookmark for my blog on his phone.

I thought my heart was going to burst right out of my chest… Wasn’t that sweet??

It’s little actions like that, of simply browsing my recipes and showing them to others, whether on Pinterest or Facebook or Instagram or in emails, that mean so much to me, and I feel so blessed that you already do that for me every day! Those little actions have added up, and they have allowed me to turn my blog into my full-time job. I am so grateful for you for doing that for me!
