Thanksgiving break is an opportunity to spend time with your family and take advantage of doing activities (or not!) that our regular busy schedules don’t always allow for. We all need to reset and have down time. I encourage you to think of some special practice that you can enjoy together. It can be as simple as afternoon tea or game night.
I also want to share a recipe I made this week that I really love. It’s a healthy and delicious way to use the nutrient-rich pumpkin. Maybe you can try it during your break. I actually make enough so I can pack for work in the morning.
