Me in my most happy place
My soul feels most calm in two places: at the river’s edge, where the world slows, and in the kitchen, surrounded by conversations of friends and family.
And when those two places meet—cooking riverside over a campfire—I feel most in my element. There’s something about the crackle of the fire, the rhythm of the water, and a meal shared under the open sky that feels like home. My belly and soul feel so nourished :)
