Do you want a pen pal?
Amie sent me this delicious recipe and I got her permission to share it with you. It turned out fabulous and my children loved it.
Brindsley wanted fewer walnuts on the top Delaney wanted more. I agree with Delaney…bring on the Omega-3s. (brain power)

I’m curious if you would like a pen pal in the Run to Write Community. If you’re interested please reply to this email with your name, a few things you enjoy & your email. If there is enough interest I would be happy to make introductions to your pen pal.
Maybe this would be a fun thing to do during these winter months to share our light.

Every night, I prepare the next morning’s breakfast by putting raw walnuts, dried blueberries and dried cherries into a used plastic yogurt container and pouring coconut milk into it and closing the lid and letting it sit overnight. In the morning, I toss in a couple large scoops of plain yogurt and mix it all together and slurp and chew it down. Sometimes I add dried coconut flakes to the pre-mix. Other times, raw pecans. I use SO organic coconut milk and either Stonyfield Farms or Chobani yogurt.
What a lovely idea. Anything that revives and maintains the gentle art of letter-writing has to be a good thing.
A Swedish author friend and I exchange handwritten letters simply because we wanted to communicate the old way. Our writing-style leaves a lot to be desired but that's the problem with being on the keyboard too much and no pen in our hands.
Re recipes: An Australian cook - Amy Minichiello - recently published a lovely book built around recipes from many folk that she had received in the mail. https://www.amazon.com.au/Recipes-Mail-Family-Cookbook-Journal/dp/1922418765
Recipes have stories, don't they?
Happy New Year!
