I looked back through my journal of good things that I'd written down this year. Highlights included seeing Northern lights and lots of good meals with friends and family.

Sucralose and Stevia both have bad aftertaste, even with a strong chocolate flavor snack. I will remember to avoid it even more in the future

We just want to say, it’s ok to feel sad during the holidays. It’s not selfish, it’s not weakness. It’s grief. It’s ok to grieve. Especially now.

And we’re sending a special hug to all of you who are facing the people who should have loved you best, but chose to hurt you instead. We see you. 💚
