Kristi and Darlene are finishing up the year, looking back, and getting ready (haha, we are BEYOND ready) to say GOODBYE 2019. We look at how to be grateful, what happens when the year didn’t go how you thought it would, and we start getting to goals a little, but stay tuned for that in our goals episode coming early 2020!

Food for thought:
Looking back is good and can also be hard. Be gentle with yourself if you are feeling like you are not where you want to be right now. Just keep showing up. That is enough. Self-compassion.
Food-spiration:
D: Old cookbooks and Cheese plates and snack dinners and vintage cocktails by the fireplace.
K: Turkey! Turkey tortilla soup.
What’s for dinner?
K: Well, our conversation is making me want to recreate that dish from the cruise! Otherwise, I was planning on having breakfast burritos for dinner tonight.
D: Made up quesadilla: flour tortilla from Tortilla Land, sweet potato, Yumm Sauce, bacon crumbles, chicken, spinach. + Black Bean!
