Birthday Wishes - Forever Young
On Feb. 9, 1949, my mother made it to the hospital in Mobridge, South Dakota during a blizzard to give birth to me. In a way, I was a miracle baby. Why was I so lucky to be born and not get caught in the blizzard and freeze? I still like cold weather. It makes me feel vibrant - radiant - young. I feel like “60 is the new 16.” Does that mean that in another 10 years I will feel 17? I think I will plan for that!
Now as I look back on my amazing life in gratitude, I am especially happy and grateful that I finally finished this e-cookbook “The Holistic Cookie”. This is my gift to the world. Not only does it contain delicious and nutritious recipes, but it contains inspirational stories of my favorite cooks — Mom, Dad and my friend Vera, who taught me to experiment with food. People who have known me for years have been impressed with these inspiring stories. This is my gift to share with the world.
If you really want to make me happy, why not purchase a copy of the e-cookbook at http://www.TheHolisticCookie.com and enjoy this new healthy way of cooking.
But if you want to make me really, really happy, leave a comment, wish me Happy Birthday, and let me know you read my blog. If you have any stories about the time I cooked for you, or anything else, that would be something I would really be interested in reading.
Last week I reconnected with a friend from high school through Facebook. She told an amazing story about our high school adventures in the previous post.
Also please accept the basic “Holistic Cookie” recipe by signing in at the box in the upper right hand corner. You will instantly be taken to a page that you can print.
Thanks in advance for your Birthday wishes to me.

Happy birthday, Martha! Love the recipes you have here. I can’t have wheat, though; any suggestions for substitutes in your cookie recipe? I’m going to go try your lemonade recipe after I drink my tea I just reheated >

Hi Martha
Happy birthday!
I fully agree - 60 is the new 16. It is certainly a milestone in your life, and the beginning of new and exciting things (you can even look forward to more travel discounts in a year or two
Some companies, such as airlines and bus services offer special discounts for those who have reached 62 or 65.
I look forward to checking out your cookbook - I am a fan of the natural way of staying healthy. I plan to stay away from ALL medications for ever if I can.
Today is a great day to make some new plans for your life, and consider starting out on some new ventures this year.

Hi Marty! Wow….didn’t realize this was a milestone birthday too!
Where did the years go….seems like yesterday we were working at

Have a really great year!
Hey….I thought of you last night. We were talking about Slumdog Millionaire, and I

Keep up the great job!
