To-do list for the first Sunday of November, 2022:
- Wake up woefully unrested, given the extra overnight hour overnight (tough week, busy mind)
- Spend the early morning wondering what to write about today, over coffee.
- Eat breakfast (banana chocolate chip muffin, yogurt with hemp seeds and berries).
- Feel an idea of what to write about taking shape. Feel pretty good about that idea.
- Eat lunch (leftover one-pot Italian quinoa lentils, vegan parmesan, salad).
- Go to a fun orange wine fair, hosted by a friend, along with another friend.
- On the way home, marvel at the 75º weather. Think about friends who are running the NYC Marathon. Hope they’re not uncomfortably hot or bothered by the humidity. Make a mental note to track their progress later.
- Arrive home. Laundry. Dishes. Tidying. Pulling some things out of the freezer for the week ahead.
- Answer a few work emails. Realize midway through so doing that what I want—and need, truly—is to bring some leftovers to my mom’s place, have dinner, talk, and watch TV. Without looking at a phone, a computer, or a tablet.
- Publish this to-do list.
Taking a break tonight, friends. Allowing this Sunday to be a sabbath, a day of rest.
Lots of fun food to share with you in the coming weeks! Tonight, sharing my love and gratitude and appreciation of your presence.

Happy Sunday, everyone. I’m back from my visit with my friend, doing my best to settle into a routine in spite of deadlines the that continue to loom. In a mind-clearing yoga class this morning, my teacher shared this parable, or her own version of it. According to WisdomShare, the story goes, A young, successful couple found their dream home. Shortly after purchasing it, the couple sat at their kitchen table to indulge in a delicious breakfast. The wife looked out the window,…
I might as well call this “weekend reading, express edition!” I’m buried under deadlines tonight, so this one has to be short and sweet, friends.
