Intentions for the Week- Week 47  in 2021

​​Happy Monday, friends!

This week is gonna be a busy one. It’s also going to be full of grief.  My Mom died during week 47 of 2017.   Sigh…. When I read that post it’s such a weird feeling. I can remember that week like it was yesterday and the holiday brings it all back up to the surface again. She loved Thanksgiving and it’s so sad that our holidays are so broken without her. 

If you’re grieving during the holiday season too, I just want to take this moment to let you know that you’re not alone. Holidays bring up a lot of feelings. Your feelings are valid and real. I hope you find a way to honor your loved ones and take care of yourself and your heart too. I see you. 

It’s a big week if you’re working in the kitchen! Here are my Intentions for the Week-
