Happy Friday LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers!
This blog post is all about gratitude and appreciation for the amazing support and love I have received from people around me.
I started this blog as a way to share information on entertainment, recipes, restaurants, my travel adventures and overall as an outlet for a corporate worker's frustrated creative side. One and a quarter years later, I am surprised at how many people from around the world read my blog. (Check out my tribute to my Ukrainian fans here.) I've received so many great emails, blog comments and tweets about my blog. It is incredibly heartwarming and I appreciate all the love!
One thing I didn't expect was the thank you emails, comments and tweets from some of the people/venues I have been blogging about ... it's awesome to get a shout out from successful businesspeople, celebrities and restauranteurs.
As a "thank you" to some of the these great people, I am posting links to my previous blog posts where I received thanks for my writing. If you have not read these posts before, check them out -- and if you have already read the posts - check out the businesses/people I have written about in the past. They are all Lily approved!

Also a tremendously big shout out to the best restauranteurs in Sarasota - Wes and Ceci Duval of Duval's New World Cafe. I have written THREE reviews of their various restaurants over the years. Duval's New World Cafe is their latest restaurant. Their food is amazing and has stood the test of time. I have been going to Duval's restaurants for years. They have the world's best bread pudding - made with house made danishes! (Ultra rich, ultra fabulous!) Duval's honored my blog post by putting my review on their website. The ultimate compliment! I receive a large amount of web traffic thanks to Duval's. My posts on Duval's continue to be the most widely read posts on my entire blog. My friends and I are planning a girls' weekend in Sarasota in April and we plan on having lunch at Duval's New World Cafe. There may have to be a fourth review in my future!
Duval's New World Cafe - the freshest, most delicious seafood!

One day, I hope there will be reason to send a personal shout out to fabulous, witty and strong comedian/actor/singer Margaret Cho - something like "Hey, thanks for the tequila shots- do you remember in what fountain I left my car?" or "Thanks for the elegant high tea and great conversation!" or "Thanks for personally mentioning me in your Oscar acceptance speech." However until any of those events actually happen, I am posting a picture previously included in my Sea Change Restaurant blog post. Margaret - let's grab a drink! You're hysterical!
By the way, have you read Margaret Cho's post "You Are Not Ugly ..." You can read it on her blog here or on the The Huffington Post here. I actually got teary reading it. Margaret Cho, I am honored that you are not only a voice for Asian American women but women of all colors, everywhere.
