Praise for Soul Food
"I've quietly watched from the sidelines an amazing thing going on over at Heather Blakey's Soul Food Cafe during the last year. This passionately creative woman, writing teacher, mentor-to-many, and non-stop imagineer has pulled off something so significant, so wonderful, so nurturing to writers and artists of all shapes and sizes. I can't even put it into words. So I did the best next thing. I asked Heather to put it into her own words. And still, she shares the wealth. Curious?" by Chris Dunmire 2006
 "Midlife is the perfect time to reinvent yourself. You have the hard-earned wisdom of aging, the kids are (hopefully) out of the house, and if you’re lucky, a tiny bit more money than you had when you were 20. It’s time to stretch your wings and try something new, something exciting, something … creative!
“But I’m not creative,” you say. Au contraire."
In the first, of a three part series, Karen Roberts writes about the creative world of Soul Food and Lemuria.
 Heather introduced me to the metaphorical side of my "career life" and led me down a path of deep reflection towards realizing just how meaningful every single detail is.
