Somehow, Facebook messed up and didn’t finish loading either of the HNY posts I created yesterday, so here we go again 😊
Dear Friends of Connie’s Home Cooking,
It has been an absolute JOY to serve you each week and to be a small part of so many beautiful celebrations in 2025!
THANK YOU for your kindness and for your friendship. Y’all feel like family!
Taking a step away from the corporate grind allowed me freedom to breathe, to heal some battle wounds, to be fully present…ultimately seeing time and life from a fresh perspective.
I am profoundly grateful to my beloved husband Randy for his unwavering kindness, boundless generosity, full and active support, his unconditional love and steadfast nurturing to explore what life can be like, no longer focused on mere survival or having to make decisions based solely on paying the bills. There are no words to adequately express my thanks and respect to the man who would literally lay down his life for me! Randy Kelly you are truly God’s greatest gift outside of salvation!
Taking that leap of faith in 2023 was the best decision ever! What I have learned is that cooking is one of my gifts and passions…but not my life’s calling. So in a couple of weeks, after 20+ years away from school, I’ll resume studies towards a degree in Christian ministry.
With that in mind, Randy and I have decided it would be best to discontinue weekly meal service to focus on my studies. My storefront lease has expired, and my business license will expire in May. However, in the future I will still be available to cook privately for friends.
THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for sharing your stories, being part of my life and inspiring me with every interaction! You are greatness personified, beautiful and a wonder to behold!
Randy and I love you. We are so thankful for you, and we pray the New Year is healthy, whole & happy for you and all your loved ones! 🥰
