At 1205

At 1205, I hosted dinner almost every weekend for two years.

It's a way for me to write a bit more long-form than I do here. It tells the story behind my blog title, and now my newsletter. This is the first piece I’ll be sharing, though it’s really just part one of a two-part series. The essay here is about food memory; upcoming is an essay about food work, specifically my experiences as a cook and cheesemonger. I’ll be posting less on tumblr and more on substack from now on, and soon I hope to release a multi-part series about my time cooking and farming in Denmark last summer.

My secret to feeling prepared for EMDR with my therapist, who challenges me as much as she offers compassion, is scheduling a demanding yoga class beforehand… something that pulls me out of my head and into my body

Trying to inhabit a self that feels coherent, embodied, proud, sane, compassionate, healthy, meaningful

Lying on my Shakti mat for hourlong transformational breathwork has me feeling like I touched the hand of ascension
