Where would we be without those who love us unconditionally? My guide in this lifetime, the lovely woman on the left, my daughter Adrienne Stiles, and her good friend Lucile are two incredible human beings. It doesn’t matter if I’m talking about cheese or family or food. If I’m fed up with the world or am ready to dive in to humanity again – Adrienne listens. She experiences. She lightens. She loves.
This journey has been made all the more enjoyable because of her. From dreaming a little dream about a cheese shop to taking steps to make it tangible, mountains of thanks go to Adi. From a fantastical afternoon years ago in our family kitchen with a beautiful piece of blue cheese (my favorite, did you know?) to plotting and planning and pulling textures and colors together in business meetings – somehow those colors go right back to the creamiest yummiest part of that hunk of blue cheese – I can’t look to anyone else but her for making it happen.
Creative. Inspirational. Supportive. Do you know who your muse is?
