The Ribbon in Her Journal: Memories from Phyllis Hoffman Depiano - Hardcover

A Ribbon in Her Journal is a loving tribute to Phyllis Hoffman DePiano, the late founder and CEO of Hoffman Media, publisher of cooking and lifestyle magazines.

This beautiful book contains blog posts selected by Phyllis's friends and family along with photography and words of encouragement. She shared stories of family, faith and inspiration in her Ribbon in My Journal blog posts that many will find inspirational in their daily lives.

"When I place a ribbon in my journal, I am marking the place where I stop for the day and where I will begin again tomorrow. Our walk together through this blog will be just that--a journey of celebrating the beautiful things in life one day at a time. It is my hope that when you come here you will find beauty, encouraging words, resources, and inspiration from exciting people who make a difference." --Phyllis Hoffman DePiano, founder of Hoffman Media (May 2, 2014)
An astute woman of many passions, Phyllis DePiano was a force to be reckoned with, always observing, sharing, and inquiring about people, events, and things that piqued her interest--and there were many. She wore her curiosity on her sleeve (impeccably sewn, of course) and kept a dry sense of humor and unwavering wit while caring for those she loved. We celebrate her genteel insights in these pages, sharing the best of her writings and contemplations on a broad array of subjects from the Queen of England to homemade Christmas cookies. We present her shimmering jewels of wisdom mingled with down-home quips and common sense that's easy to understand and always gives you food for thought. Pause a moment to enjoy this splendid collection of her meditations and musings written over decades of her colossal career and rewarding family life.
