Hello friends - we are entering that time of year where people start planning a variety of holiday gatherings, and the seasonal changes often bring changes to what we're cooking. As we're in the 'thankful' season, I thought I'd run a series of questions so we can share our favorites (and maybe even some recipes if requested!). So for this week: whether you celebrate Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or just a general celebration of gathering and gratitude, what are some of the foods you look forward to seeing on the table? Are there absolute must-haves? Are there absolute never-haves? Share if it's something you love to make, or maybe a family tradition that someone else makes that you enjoyed in the past or still look forward to having. Was there one particular meal that stands out in your memory? Feel free to answer some or all of these questions - I'm looking forward to the inspiration! And I'm on my way to a meeting so will post mine in the comments later this afternoon. :D

I do not currently, but have had wonderful dogs around m [I don't think I am home enough for a dog].

Taking up the Monday Mojo Challenge because I loved Anna’s suggested community question “what’s a fun fact no one knows about you?”. Mine is a favorite from many years ago that now has to be taken on faith. I’ll explain in the first comment.

What are your meditation habits? How consistent are you (ie. how many days/week) What's the difference in your life when you're meditating regularly or not?
