2007: Live Life From Your Heart!


DECEMBER 2007

Ed. Note:    Thank you  for your continuing support of Cinnamon Hearts with your return visits.  Your emails and kind words  in support of our website are always welcome and appreciated!

Just after Thanksgiving we lost K.C., our beloved Golden Retriever. She was with us for nearly 13 years and we treasure the thousands of instant images and memories we have of her.
Please take a moment to give thanks for all the special  relationships in your life, whether they be human or with your loving pets.  You have a wonderful opportunity to use this holiday season to make positive and lasting  memories with your ALL of your loved ones.

Please enjoy our holiday menu of treats from our Recipe Feature Archives.  Apologies to all of our visitors who were disappointed that  our Hanukkah features were not available  this year.   We went ahead and posted them for your convenience so you can save them to your own recipe database  for next year.

Best wishes for a meaningful holiday and a peaceful New Year,

   Marilyn

Dear Visitors:

     Welcome to Cinnamon Hearts ~ Recipes For A Winning Diabetic Lifestyle!

     Cinnamon Hearts is a major resource for all who are looking   for  delicious diabetic recipes, nutritional information, motivational  encouragement,  book reviews and articles for living a winning diabetic lifestyle! 

     Even though our primary focus is culinary,  we realize how important attitude and a spiritual awarness are in developing coping skills for living with the challenges of a chronic illness. We also understand that this is a total family process and we'll be featuring plenty of good "food for thought" in those areas.

     For all of you who question our use of small amounts of sugar (per serving) in the recipes we publish, please make time to read Debunking The Sugar Myth and the Newest ADA Guidelines

      For Newcomers:  We always leave the prior month's Recipe and  Food For Thought features available in the sidebar,  just to the left of these announcements.

     Having type 2 diabetes, I know what it's like to live with this unpredictable disease because I live with it every day. There are times when "life happens," and some of the articles will not get published as quickly as planned. And because I must adjust according to daily circumstances, the publishing schedule operates on an "ongoing" basis throughout the month. Feel free to return as often as you wish to check on the progress of the features you're interested in reading; we love to have you return for another visit!

     Contact Note Update: If you have legitimate recipe questions, website comments, advertising inquiries or proposals, write to marilyn@cinnamonhearts.com Please remember to put the nature of your inquiry (as it relates to this website) in the subject line or your email will not be opened.  Hopefully, we won't have to close this mailbox permanently due to intrusive,  unwanted spam.

     In the meantime,  remember to stay focused in the present, because every moment is a gift!
