Happy Earth Day!

It is ok to not be ok in this situation. COVID-19 really sucks, and I have been locked down for 34 days. However, the longer we can all hold out and stay hunkered down, the more of us there will be to celebrate with when it is all over. Stay apart, stay alive, stay safe y’all.

It’s amazing how even during lockdown Monday rolls around again and feels like…a Monday! It’s good to stick to routines even if you have to create some new ones due to current events.

Happy birthday to Hazel, a beautiful Golden Guernsey goat and resident of Spitalfields City Farm!

One year ago today, my family and I were traveling home from our spring holiday. Travel worn and whatnot, I shared a picture of a goat that I took in 2011 when I lived in Delhi, India. To think of how now we are staying in place and haven’t really left our neighborhood in nearly a month is pretty crazy. Sometimes all you need is already right around you. However, I am holding onto hope that we will have future adventures, near and far. Also, I am pretty sure this goat knew the secrets of the universe. Worth sharing again!

Even if you don’t have symptoms of COVID-19, make sure to keep practicing self care and go extra easy on yourself. Lockdown is not easy but there are some silver linings here and there, plus the hope of a better world once the danger is over.

We are nearly a month in and who knows how much longer lockdowns and quarantines will last so keep checking in digitally and distancing socially.

If you find it hard to stay positive take a moment and think of something in your life that brings you joy – whether that is your hour of sunshine, your family, or binge watching junk television. Always keep an eye out for silver linings even in the most difficult of times.

It is always so lovely to prepare and enjoy a meal with people you love. I hope you all had an opportunity this weekend to share something delicious with those you care about.
