Dear Friends — I’ve been blogging on my website for over a decade (which is a really long time!). After a lot of thinking, I’ve decided to officially retire my website blog. Moving forward, I’m excited about creating an on-going newsletter + publication on Substack — a wonderful new online space for writers, where the potential for building community and creating new offerings feels like a great opportunity and next step. I hope to see you there! xo, Kajal
p.s. For now, I’ll be keeping the below archives of my blogs available here as they are. And, over time, I will revisit and revive some of them— with revised and refreshed editions posted on Substack.
Glazed Carrots & our Winners!
Art Every Day Month has been awesome! If you haven't a chance to check out my daily drawings, you can view them all here. It's defintiely got me thinking outside of the box and trying new things! So, as Thanksgiving approaches here's my recipe for glazed carrots....a lovely Thanksgiving side. I hope you enjoy!
Sesame Ginger Baked Tofu
It's always good to remember that the one weapon we always have in our arsenal for self-care is the food we put in our bodies. Food is such an amazing tool, don't think? What we feed ourselves literally fuels our energy levels, directly impacts the appearance of our bodies and greatly influences our minds. For something we do several times a day...I'd say it's worth putting a little dedicated time and creative energy towards since the payoff is huge.
Burning Bright or Burned Out?
At the end of August I had the chance to go to an awesome retreat that was hosted by the Good Life Project. If you haven't heard of Jonathan Fields and his organization, they're definitely worth checking out. It was quite an inspiring weekend where I had the opportunity to hear some trail blazing speakers talk on what a good life means to them, attend some information-packed workshops on how to run & sustain an authentic business and I had the chance to meet other fellow meditators, wellness and creativity enthusiasts. Best of all there was time built in for self-care through daily yoga, meditation, crafts, talking with other kindred spirits, playing and eating three fresh meals a day.
2014 Thanksgiving Round Up
Since I'm not here for Thanksgiving this year, I thought I'd share some recipes from one of my favorite blogs, Oh She Glows! She has a great step by step, 3-Course, Vegan & Gluten Free Holiday Menu that looks pretty good...I've never made these particular recipes, but all the recipes I have tried from her site have been DELICIOUS...so I have high hopes for these as well.
