A Million Ways

Have you ever felt like a part of you is on mute? It’s almost as if this part of you has been stamped out that you don’t even have the flicker of a flame to bring the passion back to life. Sometimes I feel that way about writing or about baking. I think it’s because I turn to these two activities during my happiest moments and during my hardest moments. Then, during the “in-between moments”, it can feel like my two passions are on mute.

Quarantine and the pandemic have led to a lot of time inside my head. Left with so many thoughts that I don’t have anything to say because if I start, I may never stop. But I woke up this morning with these thoughts in my head and on my heart, and the clear message that today was a day I should post on the blog. And it didn’t have to be a recipe or something “cute”. Just something real. So here it is: 2020 broke our hearts in a million ways. And it’s okay not to be okay. But hold on to hope and hold on to the ones you love.

We’re never alone, but today felt like maybe someone out there needed this reminder. Maybe it’s you reading this, and maybe it’s me typing it, but either way, I hope we each find a way to make today count.
