The art of hopping on one foot around your kitchen, hungry
Or... why I haven't been around.
Ok, no excuses, but if you must know, the universe threw me a couple curve balls lately. In the past 2 months, I broke my foot (playing soccer in Prospect Park with friends), learned I was pregnant (2 days later), and got kicked out of my apartment into an obscenely expensive rental market in Brooklyn. I've just entered my second trimester (will my appetite please return now?), and I'm in the home stretch of cast-wearing (hopefully only 1-2 more weeks! - I'll never take walking for granted again). And we will move at the end of the month.
The entire experience has been a huge lesson about letting go. When you realize you cannot control the way things unfold, stop fighting. Happiness lies in finding a way to accept reality and work with it toward what you want and what is possible.
In the meantime, I hope you've been mindfully eating in this late-summer cornucopia! There are so many amazing, beautiful, flavor-packing foods busting out of the ground (or falling from trees) right now. And now that I'm emerging from my challenges, I hope to be a more active part of enthusing you about them from this point forward. Onward to fall yumminess!
