I’ve busted out my fuzzy socks and array of slippers. Some have polka dots or stripes, some have dogs or Christmas trees (yes I am 5 years old still), some are neon or leopard, but all of them have a story. They’ve all been gifted to me by special people in my life who know I’m obsessed with thick, fuzzy socks and slippers of all kinds! I love all of them and they occupy my footsies 24/7 from this moment on until spring. Brrrrr.
Now is the time when I start reflecting on all of the happenings from the past year. We are soon approaching a fresh start and I can’t help but feel lucky that I’m surrounded by incredible people. Especially my family. My parents and two loving grandma’s have supported all of my ideas and dreams from this past year, which has been a whirlwind. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them! My incredible mom helps me in more ways than she knows and I’m so thankful for her words and her faith in me. Marty has been my love, my best friend and my encouragement to not just dream but actually do the work to make your dreams a reality. He never stops which inspires me to challenge myself and make things happen. I can’t wait to see what our next chapter has in store.
I’m more than thankful for this blog and for all of you. You have supported me throughout this journey and I’m so happy to have connected with like-minded healthy and beautiful people. We are all making a difference and spreading the love about living plant-based. This lifestyle has given me so much and it’s about way more than just the yummy food. It’s about being mindful, seeing the world in a different light and practicing a healthy, balanced relationship with yourself and those around you. The Glowing Fridge has been my lifesaver this year. It has helped me to feel adequate and fulfilled; it has brought me pure happiness and gets my booty out of bed everyday. It’s a place where I fit in and feel a tremendous amount of support from, every single day. This community is truly amazing and powerful! I know in my heart that we are doing big things and hopefully inspiring everyone along the way. I’m so grateful.
