Hey RWOP Family!

Time to shine some happy rays of love on another RWOPer!

This special gal has really inspired me to be a better woman, wife, mother and all around human being.

Theresa Crone caught my eye when I saw her Not My Mama's Baked Corn Casserole recipe. I love corn, bacon, cream cheese and casseroles are pretty much a way of life for us here in Oklahoma so I had to go check that recipe out! Once I read it and saw how amazing it sounded I was inspired to read more about Ms. Theresa. And that is where I was so touched by her story.

You are one amazing lady! I cannot imagine getting cancer and then having the man I love also suffer through the disease and ultimately pass away. I truly can't imagine that pain. But you turned that heartache into a mission to work in a Hospice - nourishing peoples' bodies as well as their spirits!

I love that you started a garden so that you could create healthy, healing meals for those you were caring for! The whole experience is amazing to hear about. I also just adore your idea of creating a Hospice cookbook. That would be a beautiful tribute to your dedication and to those you have cared for in the past.

As if working in a Hospice is not enough...now you dedicate your time to the homeless - another segment of our population who need love and nourishment. I am just so so proud of you. You are just the type of person that I hope I can teach my children to be when they are older. You may get knocked down... but you get up, dust yourself off and then go look for someone else to help! Thank you for making our world a better place.

I spotlight your good heart, your tireless motivation and the incredible love you give in your life. I just wanted to give some love your way...
