ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to thank the Mother for all Her guidance during the process of
writing this book and revising it for the second edition. Special thanks to my kids
Alethia, Skyler, and Kobe for always being an inspiration. Thank you to my agent
Julie Castiglia who believed I could write a book even before I knew I could. I
adore you. My gratitude goes out to my editor, Veronica “Fuzzy” Randall, with
whom I have much fun and mischief. I am grateful for the scary and fun
experiences since the first edition of this book; they have made me stronger, more
confident, and thank the stars, better able to take a joke. So, while I don’t fly
around on brooms, own thirteen black cats, or have warts on my chin, I do cackle
from time to time, believe in the magic of night, the power of dreams, and the love
that connects us all.
Bright blessings,
Jamie Wood
I am deeply grateful for the friendship and support of all of those who donated
recipes.
High on this list is Terrie Hurt. Her good humor, depth of knowledge, and
generous support was amazing and went above and beyond. I especially want to
thank my dear friends Dawna Perry and Andy Honker for bravely offering
themselves up as taste testers for several recipes. They offered advice and feedback
that was invaluable. I would like to thank Beth Luey for her advice, patience, and
great sense of humor. I would like to thank my family members who listened
patiently to endless discussions about the project. Lastly, of course, I thank my
husband, Doug, for being truly himself, a wonderful life partner who has provided
unending support, advice, and encouragement in this and all things.
Blessed be,
Tara Seefeldt
