Sprinkling Joy

Hello Friends!

As December begins (omg, where does the time go!), I hope you are excited about taking time to slow down, savor the goodness of family and friends coming together and most importantly, I hope you're finding time to feed your soul.What's on your Dec To-Do List?This month I plan on having a date in front of the fireplace with my holiday cards :), so that I can spread some holiday cheer :). One of my goals this year was to write one piece of snail mail a month...so what better way to end the year but by sending all my family and friends some holiday love. I miss snail mail--it's the best :). I'm also excited about spending more time in the kitchen. That means there will course be a few holiday sweets involved...probably these Walnut, Coconut, Cream Cheese Shortbread Cookies and some Pistachio & Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies, but there will also be a lot of soup! When it gets cold out I love the savory smells of veggies stewing and seeing our kitchen windows fog up :). We make these two soups a lot in our house over the winter: Cannelli Bean & Kale Vegan Bisque and this Soba Noodle Soup. Of course, all these goodies are best enjoyed in the company of good friends. This year we're blessed to have a few dear friends visiting for the holidays, so I'm looking forward to adventures around town and snuggles on the couch.Last but not least, I'm looking forward to Happy Hour Yoga, a class that happens a few times a week at my local yoga studio. I especially LOVE it this time of the year because when I arrive it's light out and when I leave it's not only dark out, but everything is magically lit up!  I'm lucky right now because my yoga studio is a nice 1/2 hour walk from our house which means on the way home I get to enjoy Old Town Alexandria at it's best; tree lined streets lit up with lights, a town square festively decorated and shops & restaurants bustling with bundled up, holiday patrons.It really is the best time of the year :)! What's on your Dec To-Do List? How are you feeding you soul this month?I enjoy and respond to each and every comment....so I hope you leave one below :)! Here's to a happy and healthy December!Lots of love,Kajal
