WellBeing Clare

I've been facing some frustrating sleep struggles. An active mind. An overactive mind. A noisy mind. It feels like I'm always awake no matter how tired I am. It makes it tough to keep up with my wellbeing journey and feel happy when I'm always zonked.  What is Causing My Sleep Struggles? It started in December.  It was already declining in November, but it got real in December. That's when my life got really busy, and I had to face a lot of change.  I know it's not weird for things to get difficult in December, but I didn't want to just assume that January would fix it on its own.  Things have been so different lately compared to how they've been for the rest of my life.  To me, this means that I can't just assume that my life will fix itself.  There were layoffs at my work (which I survived...please knock on wood for me!), I've been separated from my family for over a year (I'm in Canada for school, but my immediate family lives in New York)

I can’t honestly say that a homemade hummus recipe was included in the box of recipes I got from my grandmother . That said, it did contain a very easy sourdough that I recently got the nerve to try out for the first time (no idea why I’ve been too scared to do it until now). Having tried both recipes within the same couple of days, it was inevitable that the homemade hummus recipe would end up on my homemade sourdough recipe…and it’s one of the best things ever!   My Favorite Comfort Food Snack of 2021 So Far I like different kinds of dips. An easy homemade hummus recipe always has lots of appeal to me because it sounds a lot more complicated than it is. The thing about me is that I am not a fan of raw veggie snacks in the winter.   In the summer, I could eat them all day long. In the winter, it’s a completely different story! They’re too cold!   I want something that makes me feel warm in my belly, not something I’ll want to wear gloves to eat so my fingertips don’t go numb
