Iā€™m so glad I listened to your letter this week! Perfect way to start my today, from the sunshine-scented, crunchy-soft clothes to the community recipes at the end (šŸ’œ this project, naturally, as Iā€™m sure your Nan also does). Thanks for being you and yes, your accent and your joy is a bit more pronounced. Like an ecstatic lullaby.

Ahhhh I loved reading this comment, thank you!

I am very happy to say the recipe book is in full swing and Nan V E R Y much got on board. We crossed all genres - dessert, Ukrainian family recipes and even the best homemade mix to clean your floor so well your neighbour will come and knock and ask what you use as they can see it from the street.

I LOVE LISTS. And this one is so flush with joy and solar-powered delight.

Yes to sunlight; yes to bright colors and beautiful vegetables (can you tell I'm a vegetarian); yes to finding morning time that fits what your body needs; yes yes yes to life.

This is a great list. šŸ„° it DOES suit you! Iā€™m glad youā€™re feeling happier at being there now. I recently realized how nice home was and 20-something me NEVER would have thought that.
