Will be open until December 10th Life in Focus In this episode I talked about managing eating well and how I find balance during the holiday season. I mentioned the most recent episode of the Happier Podcast which I found really timely (re: "Not Treating Yourself" and Planned Exceptions) Ask Me Anything This week I answered a question from Donna (ZoSew) regarding changing yarns and colors in crochet. Here is a helpful link I used when learning which I also discussed on Episode 74. On a Happy Note The first part of this audio was recorded with my 8 year old niece Riley who asked if we could record together! I managed to lose 1.4 pounds during Thanksgiving week which feels like a huge win. Part of that was exercise for sure including this beautiful walk on Thanksgiving morning. SO much fun on the dirt bikes. After Riley and I recorded I took a try! Video on Instagram. Megg, Tom, Em and Oisin stayed for dinner/Pats game. Megg kitchenered the two toes on her very first pair of socks! They came out great. Gilmore Girls reboot on Netflix! Got most of my shopping done Black Friday (with Mom!!) and Cyber Monday! Lavash pizza with roasted tomatoes & basil and Trader Joe's cinnamon almonds. Obsessed!! Will and AIla's annual Christmas! Sleepover Quote of the Week "Before you call someone lazy or judge them, try to imagine their perspective, beliefs, and abilities and forget yours. That is, respond with curiosity and empathy. When you do, I predict you’ll find yourself understanding their choices. You may not like their beliefs and choices, but you’ll understand them." -Joshua Spodek -------------------------------------------------- Thank you for tuning in!
