I enjoyed these classes! Happy to be continuing these into 2023 🌮🍦🍋. Also, learning to be more gentle with myself and others. Still a work in progress, but something I plan to continue working on in 2023.

Hi Julia, happy 2023! I'm wondering if you can expand on not believing in new years resolutions? Your "reflections" are so peaceful, I think I'll create some of my own! :)

For me personally they’ve always made me feel set up for failure which is just not a scenario I want to create for myself…also so many New Year’s resolutions seem to be rooted in diet culture so I just like to skip it entirely…all that said, happy new year!

What books have you been loving lately?

I’m starting Weightless by Evette Dionne tonight.

Also, would you ever consider a tapas class? I think it’s such a fun way to cook and eat!

Oooo fun suggestion! I like that!

Re: books…last night I just finished ‘Flight’ by Lynn Steger Strong which wasnt necessarily a *fun* book but was so beautiful- I really loved it.

I relearned deep breathing. After wearing so many masks at work, day in and out, I needed to catch up on breathing. I am continuing this into the year and adding meditation, which I have struggled with, but am trying. Taking time with my kids who are growing and moving onto adulthood. And, as prior, continuing your classes! Ensures comradery in the kitchen and a meal for the family on Sundays.

Also going back to movies, even (maybe especially) by myself. I just saw The Whale. And, while some may find controversy with the movie and it subject, I found my heart filled after seeing this film. Alone! I like a good film by myself, feels like an instant and readily available getaway.
