This post is brought to you by the letter X.
I'm very into letting go and moving on. I have a ton of thing pending at work and for grad school. Things that have and will continue to gobble up my attention and time. I know how to bring myself into focus: by paring down or letting go of anything extraneous. What does that mean? That means I'd rather have less, but more of what I love. I've been doing it with food and now I'm on to my clothing. I went through and got rid of everything that was too big for me or just didn't look fantastic. It just so happens it left me with only half a dozen items with XL on the tag-mostly college or grad school hoodies.
I'm donating two winter coats. I never realized that coats that are too big are basically worthless. I've been so chilly! I have one new coat (to replace the formal one) and need to hunt down a fleecy one to replace my north face. I'm also getting rid of my favorite piece of clothing ever, my electric periwinkle rain coat. That may get pulled from the piles last minute though.
I have 4 huge bags full, ready for good will. Ready to hang out in someone else's closet, making them feel as beautiful as they made me feel.
For cooking: chestnuts, cranberry sauce, hot pot with tempeh, seed cheese, broccoli with rice and any and all squash I can get my hands on.
For Thanksgiving, we are going to my aunt's, but my sister and I will be bringing our own meal: gluten-free pumpkin or squash pizza (with thyme and paprika and topped with carmelized onions, red peppers and olives), nori maki (veggies and avocado wrapped in seaweed) and gluten-free/ vegan pumpkin pie. In addition I'll be feasting on chestnuts and fruit. I'm volunteering at a food bank in the morning before our family dinner. It's the first time I've done so and I'm a little excited about it.
