Hello everyone. Welcome to the “holiday season”. With that in mind, and because I am paying more attention to what I cook and increasingly, which utensils I use to do that for the safety of my family and the planet, I have decided to share some insights that may enhance your culinary experiences during this festive time. The holidays offer a wonderful opportunity to gather with loved ones and indulge in delicious meals, but it is also essential to consider the impact of our choices on health and sustainability. As we approach your holiday meal planning, I thought you might find the following article useful as it outlines some helpful insights, including some essential “dos” and a few critical “don’ts” that can make a significant difference in your preparation and enjoyment.

A personal note from me to you for December, 2023.
Some of my fondest and favorite memories are the ones where I shared a cup of tea in the evening with my Mother after coming home from work. I worked the late shift. Getting home from riding the subway around 11pm at night. My mother always was waiting up for me. As a young woman, I had no idea that she was making sure that I was in safely from my job as a telephone operator at the then A T & T Phone company on Canal Street in New York City. Imagine! That was 57 years ago.
And then, in the morning when my Mother fixed breakfast for her 5 children; we always had a pot of tea with our breakfast. My Dad was a coffee drinker.
My Mother passed away, suddenly almost 39 years ago. And to this day, each and every one of my siblings still finds comfort in having a cup of tea. It warms our spirits, makes us feel better, and connects us to a special time in our lives when things were not so complicated – yet.
Now, many years and many job and interests later, I find it comforting that as I evolved – now as a certified aromatherapist – Tea is still in my life. It’s intriguing how much it can make a difference in our well-being.
So, even though I usually tell you about the latest exercise class for senior citizens, best healthwise way to keep our minds intact, or at least active, for December – and just in time for the holidays, I am eager and happy to share this link to some very beneficial information about Tea – just for a change of pace. Tea is Home.
I hope your holiday season will be happy and healthy, and filled with time making new memories that will warm your heart and mind. I will take time the rest of this month to savor the gift of family and friends and be happy I am still here to appreciate something good, like a cup of tea 🙂
Thanks for reading my blog. It gives me joy to bring a tip or two that just might help your well-being journey better.
Sincerely, Judith
Look for me in January 2024 All the best in Wellness & Happy Holidays!
