Reading this felt so serendipitous. Your first paragraph described exactly how my own year started - feeling out of place, disconnected, aimless. Then, you mentioned Lisbon (I immediately knew which bookshop you were talking about, before even looking at the photo!), which is where I spend part of the year. (I started wondering when/how I'd initially started following your substack, but couldn't remember - and it certainly wasn't because of the Lisbon connection). And THEN, I got to the Austin photo and immediately recognized Olivia (and Kyle!) whose recipes I absolutely loved.
Your practices were so helpful to read through, thank you!

Such a nice read, and very relatable. Excellent practices, Amy!
