Lovely to hear from you. Interested to know what you choose–something to give you more space and silence perhaps?–given how beautifully trim you already are!!

I think this Lent and Easter will be far more meaningful than usual for me, because of the observance and expectation!

I've been vegan a lot this year, so going vegan for Lent doesn't strike me as very spectacular. But I will make it so by trying to be extra good and not snacking. Because I agree. The mind is so much clearer when one eats properly.

I have fasted for a day here and there, but I have never tried a fasting plan for any longer period of time. It is certainly something to consider.
