Never met either one of you, but have immensely enjoyed the cook books, photography and writing. Wishing you well in your journeys and continued growth. As a new subscriber I am happy that the business side of things will continue.
Having been through a divorce after 22 years of marriage I am sorry to read your news. I am now remarried and have found what the meaning of marriage is all about. I highly recommend you both read a book by Timothy Keller "The Meaning of Marrage". I recommend this read to everyone, man, women, married or not.
I've had conversations with three people in the last week, who have ended marriages of 16-22 years, serendipity of sorts. It's always complicated and hard, but most of them seem to have arrived at clarity even in their grief and pain. Wishing you deep serenity, moments of joy, and a reservoir of peace.
I don't know either of you personally but having read you so often it feels a bit like I do. I am sorry to hear that you are calling it quits but I'm sure you know what's best for you. I'm glad that you will continue to work together to give us all great stuff to read, cook and look at. I go way back with loving Hank's recipes. Hank, in my experience, is a masterful creative chef and have told him so many times. Over the past year or so, much of Holly's writing has hit home with me and I look forward to reading more of what he puts out.
I won't say I'm sorry to hear this, because I'm not sorry if your difficult decision improves your happiness. I am glad it's amicable, because I count each of you as friends and there's no way I was gonna pick sides. As always, if either or both of you straggle out this way with time to visit, we'd still love to have you.
Also glad to hear you're going to continue working together, because I think you make a good team... evidenced in the quality of work, both in the books and the website, blog, and now Substack.
Best to both of you. I have friends going through a nasty divorce very publicly right now (he's a world champion something and she's a beauty queen, details spared so nobody recognizes them). Both are very intense AND very public, I'm trying to stay neutral and friends to both. I'm close enough that everyone thinks I know what's going on. My mantra is "to remain friends to both, I'm talking about neither." When asked who's side I'm no I say "the kids." Fortunatel, you two do not have that burden. Keep this private. Nobody is going to benefit from going public.
My condolences. I wondered about things after reading your last few articles. I detected a sadness and (not all that positive) self reflections in the writing. I'm sad for the breakup but glad to hear you are both moving forward. Thank you for what you do for us here.
Wow…. As said in previous posts, many of us can relate to the pain and sadness. I wish you both nothing but happiness. I hope HAGC and “To The Bone” both continue to flourish, but that’s my selfish side.
Change often leaves us with sadness and regret but somewhere on the other side, growth often appears in the fire scarred soil. I'm sad for you both but also proud of how you have handled what is a terribly difficult thing. Looking forward to continuing on my learning path that you both significantly contribute to.
I have found each of you to be thought-provoking and inspiring in this newsletter. I look forward to reading every time, and selfishly I'm happy that I won't be losing that. I know that we're getting the short and sanitized version of this news and that none of this is ever easy or neat, but I'm grateful to you all the same for showing a candidness and openness that really is- once again- inspirational. You both seem like incredible people, and we are all grateful for being let into your worlds in this small way. Best of luck in the adventures ahead.
Who knows where your paths will lead? It doesn't matter, it's all a construct anyway. Just make sure it is the construct you want.
I am pleased to see that you will continue with the business arrangement. You have created something that is larger than your relationship (I know that is narcissistic, but IT is from my perspective).
"Swing through", as they say in baseball, bowling and shotgunning. Or was it "onward through the fog" as the captain of the Titanic said? Not sure, but regardless, make the new directions count. And don't forget the trail behind you that got you here.
I adore you both and am glad it's all out in the open now and hopefully everyone can just breathe...

What are you doing about Jesus?

And, BTW, the Mrs. Lincoln line is hilarious!
Well ain't that a kick in the britches.

Thinking of both of you, wishing you well and looking forward to continuing to read your work and learning about your next phases. Xo

Life moves on. Love your writing and have followed Hank for years. I’m so glad to enjoy both of you. The future is a gift. Enjoy!!!
