Letter from the Publisher April 2017 "We have a Lord who is capable of crying with us and capable of walking with us in the most difficult moments of life." - Pope Francis
Dear Life Bites News Readers, Easter is always an amazing experience, and our Pope Francis is inspiring renewed faith to people around the world. I emplore you to pray for peace this Easter season, we need to stay connected to the God we love at this challenging time. Mother's Day is nearly upon us and is a time to think about spoiling our mom or reflecting on the wonderful times we had with her during her life. We have some nice gift ideas in our gift section for mom or in our spa baby sections. Below you will find a few recipes for Spring and we hope you enjoy them. I relived a fun visit to Guinness Storehouse in March, where I was given a certificate on pouring a perfect pint - hope you enjoy the tricks to doing it right! Hotel/Chef feature is on the Kimpton Goodland in Golets, and it will attract anyone who loves a back to the past experience to chill out on the California coats. Story on Irish charm in Santa Barbara can be found in Culinary Coup.
