It's Nice to Have Talented Friends - Part Three

Happy Friday!

I wanted to showcase two amazing women I know and the two amazing blogs they produce. I encourage you to take the time to check them both out. You will find much awesomeness contained therein!

One Times One Hundred

" In essence, I have a MAJOR goal to lose one hundred pounds. The idea of achieving this goal both scares and excites me! Instead of thinking that I have such a huge, impossible goal ahead of me, it's easier to lose just one pound. So I will just lose that one TEENY, WEENY pound. One hundred times!"

My friend Courtney began blogging about her pursuit of healthy weight loss in October of 2010. She set her goal at one hundred pounds of weight lost (hence the great blog name) and has been blogging about the journey. The blog is full of honest dialog about the dogged pursuit of a difficult goal. Like a casual conversation with an old friend, you can sense the ebb and flow of Courtney's emotions as she lets us in on how it feels to pursue not only a weight loss goal, but a life that is completely in balance, in all areas. Full of humor, determination, some BANGING recipes and a whole lotta inspiration, One Times One Hundred is not only worth your time, it may just change your life.

Kiss Gluten Goodbye (Happily!)

One Woman's Quest to Rid Her Family's Table of Gluten, One Recipe at a Time

"I don’t know about you, but when I found out I had a gluten intolerance in August of 2010 I went into shock. My mom describes the time after the diagnosis as a time of grieving. Apparently I would walk into the kitchen, open the cupboard doors, stare at the contents, quietly close the doors and walk away, usually shaking my head and letting out a little sigh."

When my friend Katie received the news from the doctor that she had developed a Gluten intolerance, it is safe to say that she was less than thrilled. One of the great things about people like Katie is that when life throws them a high inside fastball that knocks them to the ground they get right back up, not even taking the time to wipe the dust from their clothes, and get on with the at bat. On her blog Katie presents recipes free of Gluten for the entire Internet to enjoy. If a photo is worth a thousand words, the pictures of Katie's food creations put this blog post well over its character limits.

Go check out these great blogs. Perhaps you or someone you know can benefit on a personal level from the wisdom and skills of these two amazing women.
