As she turned the calendar on another year, actress, cookbook author and Food Network personality Valerie Bertinelli had a message for her fans: “Indulge in your life. The good, the bad and the ugly. Feel it all, then do your best to release what doesn’t belong to you,” she said on Instagram. “Please don’t tolerate the intolerable. You deserve better. We all do. We deserve the best this life has to offer.”
The past year has been a roller coaster ride for Valerie, 63, with high points, including the wedding of her only child, Wolf Van Halen, and devastating lows, such as the cancellation of her Emmy-winning series Valerie’s Home Cooking after 14 seasons. “Gratitude is about finding the goodness in a challenging day,” notes Valerie.
That’s a lesson she learned directly from Betty White, her late Hot in Cleveland co-star, who passed away at age 99 in 2021. “Betty just oozes gratitude and she glows,” Valerie once said. “I’ve never met another human being that glows. She’s just not of this world.”
