  10. It’s time to hibernate and #NeedCoffee
  11. Live well, be safe, wear a mask
  12. for the love of all that’s holy
  13. …it’s not too much to ask.

  4. Sounds totally appropriate for the hibernation season, responding to what your body and mind are asking for, well done for following the instinct. Come back rested and replenished. 🕯️📚📑🕊️

      It really is helpful to take 6-8 week break from the blog.
      I’m still reading but without all the pressue of writing a blogpost.
      I find Goodreads a great community to share short reviews!
      Thanks for you comment, Jennifer!

      I’m glad I slowed down blogging this month b/c there is SO MUCH NEWS
      to process coming out of USA! Decided I needed Ina Garten’s (cookbook The Barefoot Contessa) pasta alla Vecchia Bettola sauce (tomato vodka sauce)…. just to calm my nerves!
      As The Terminator said: “I’ll be back!”
