PS> Love Book of the Month Club too...during Covid, my adult daughter who lives in NYC gave this subscription as a gift..It was a great way for us to have a little book club between the 2 of us and stay connected during a time that felt so isolating....We have continued to do so....

I just listened to the Mel Robbins episode with the 7 questions, and subsequently answered them, and I am so glad you made mention of this episode! It’s eye-opening and has me way more enticed for 2025 than some silly New Year’s resolution ever would!

I loved this message! The whole wellness movement has gone too far - we still need to enjoy our lives. Whatever you’ll be doing for weight loss or health needs to be sustainable. At least it does for me.

Thank you for your words on diet culture. Burnt Toast by Virginia Sole-Smith here on Substack is a great resource.

I love everything about this post..First, diet culture and everyone's New Years Resolutions to get skinny or fit : this has to STOP! Yes, can be triggering to those who had eating disorders but when our new years resolutions are solely based on looks vs. growth or meaningful connections(with yourself or others), it sends the wrong message to our youth. Second, SO happy you are in Carmel at Tejido: I live in Carmel and just love that you shared your fave restaurants, shops and places to stay! Will you have a meet the artist pop up at Tejido next time you are in town?

Natalie.. Happy NY. Have a request for you.

You have a black lace Sezanne shirt. Can’t remember which newsletter it was. What’s the name of the shirt? Is it itchy?

Would love to see you in a full pic with it.
