October 25, 2023 at 8:18 amI LOVE nutritional yeast. Don’t use it daily – but definitely weekly.
I used to run on an empty stomach but not anymore.
And I don’t decorate much for any holiday other than Christmas…

October 28, 2023 at 12:49 pmI love nutritional yeast too but don’t use it often enough. What’s your favorite way to use it?

October 25, 2023 at 8:19 amI have never heard of a favorite things party, but I think I might suggest it for our December book club meeting. It would be fun!
I’m obviously Team Snail Mail for staying in touch with loved ones who are far away, but I also text a fair amount. I think the silly rule I have is that I have a list of people I make sure to touch base with weekly/monthly/yearly and I have notes in my calendar about it! It ensures I do it, but I’m not very spontaneous about it!

October 28, 2023 at 12:49 pmI had only recently heard about the favorite things party and I think it’s such a cool idea.
I love that you “schedule in” time to get in touch with loved ones on a regular basis.

October 25, 2023 at 4:02 pmI recently heard about favorite things party and plan to organize one before end of the year, what an excellent idea to gather friends.
i used to use nutritional yeast when I was vegan, i like the cheesy flavor.
i’m doing more yoga post marathon and really enjoy the mindfulness of it, will definitely do more for my next training cycle.

October 28, 2023 at 12:50 pmYoga has been so good for overall recovery/mobility for me. So great you’re finding the same true for you.

October 25, 2023 at 4:57 pmI had to laugh because your post showed up TWICE today in Feedly! But I would rather have double San than none at all any day!
The Favorite Things Party sounds so fun! I want to do one with my friends now. And I clicked so fast on the DIY ghost decorations. I love little ghosties!
San
October 28, 2023 at 12:51 pmHa. Feedly is trying to make up for lost time LOL (but thank you, I am so glad posts are finally showing up again!).

October 26, 2023 at 5:04 amI only clicked on one link so far – the pandemic skip. I think that is so interesting. I definitely see it in my family. I feel like we all lost time, and sometimes when I think of all the craziness, I can hardly believe it happened.
I use nutritional yeast (nooch, I call it!) all the time. And you know how I feel about yoga. I’ll come back and click on more links as I’m intrigued by the favourite things party.
San
October 28, 2023 at 12:52 pmThe Pandemic Skip article was interesting because I think people experienced the pandemic in so many different ways.
What’s your favorite way to use nooch?

October 26, 2023 at 5:58 amI love the “how generosity changes your brain” article. I work in the CSR/Social impact space so this just gave me a great idea for an end-of-year giving post for our company intranet.
San
October 28, 2023 at 12:52 pmOh yay, glad it sparked an idea for you :)

October 28, 2023 at 5:56 amMy group of college friends does a favorite things party every year! We used to do it in December but that time of year is so busy so we moved it to February and call it our Galentine’s party. It’s so fun!!
San
October 28, 2023 at 12:52 pmOh, you’ve been to a favorite things party? How cool. I’d love to participate or organize one some time. It sounds like fun.

October 28, 2023 at 6:02 amThe favorite things party sounds like a wonderful concept I would love to be part of.
I didn’t feel like reading the pandemic article. It seems like the lockdown and pandemic years haven’t had that much impact on me and my life as it had. for other people. I am not sure if I am. in denial or if it’s just reflective. I experienced a few times now that people talke about it very emotionally and sit and listen and have not much to contribute.
San
October 28, 2023 at 12:54 pmI think the pandemic experience was very different for many different people. Personally, I also feel like the impact on me and my life was comparatively small but that probably has to do with the fact that my life was more introverted (plus, we don’t have kids) anyway, so the changes were subtle. I believe it’s probably the same for you.
