I always look forward to reading your articles and today there was a double reward of seeing a half eaten chocolate cake. I made it from Thanksgiving to almost Xmas eve without sweets. Before you paint those cabinets get expert advice. Thank you for sharing your writing and a glimpse of your life.

I hope by "expert advice" you mean the google. Congrats on all those days without sweets - did you feel a physical difference? I am sure I would, but this homemade chocolate frosting is irresistible.

Completely relate to your meta-rebellion instincts 😂 and I love the idea of headings that better reflect your values - and the idea of posting them somewhere through the year. And, yes! They were there all along - your images with stars recently are just so beautiful.

Nice reflections. I tried to avoid the trap of waiting (until the end of the year) to make my intentions of change. I also double down or continue with the changes that I started in the past so that they become part of my life style. For two years that has been eliminating plastics as much as possible (I make my own soap, shampoo, conditioner and lip balm) as well as exercising more and trying to eat better (but then there is chocolate).

As far as your cabinets go, I have been there and can help you avoid my mistakes.

Have a great last few days of 2023 and a wonderful 2024.
