As I’ve shared in the last blog post, the past few months have involved a lot of shifts in my diet: keeping vegan + gluten-free eating as the anchor, but eliminating refined sugars and, at least for the time being, eating only cooked and pureed foods.

Vegan and Gluten-free Tempeh Sticks
This spring I’ve been enjoying vegan and gluten-free tempeh sticks regularly, almost daily. Throughout the pandemic, so many things—my health included—have shifted, as I know it has for many people.

Q&A with Tamika Carey: “Gestures Are Easy. Reckoning Is Hard.” On Prioritizing Wellness and Liberation

![A fellow writer recently reminded me that writing retreats are TREATS, so if you’re looking for a way to treat yourself this winter, consider joining for a day or more: https://heart-head-hands.com/product/writing-retreats/
I know that writing may be furthest thing from your mind now. And a writing retreat might not feel like a treat now. No pressure, if life has other plans. I get it. I’m feeling the pandemic big-time these days.
*AND* if you feel like a writing treat would be grounding, supportive, or a retreat from other pressures, consider the upcoming dates: December 1, 6, 14, 21, 28 and January 4, 5.
There are multiple registration options, depending on what fits your budget and whether you’d like to subscribe for ongoing support. These retreats include time for writing, reflection, guided meditation, and optional feedback. Let me know if you have any questions. <3
