What a week, for al of us! Strength and love to all those affected by the hurricanes and floods. Disasters like these make those of us who haven’t been affected hold our loved ones tight and appreciate the safety we have. In a moment any one of us can find ourselves in the middle of such a tragedy and it’s so important to show support and gratitude for what we currently have.
My challenge to you this weekend is to go out and do something unexpected and kind to 3 people in your life. Make a positive impact in your community, right now, and spread the love <3 Also, please think about donating gluten-free and allergy-friendly food to the food banks in effected areas. Celiacs and those with food allergies are in dire need right now!
SS Posts from the week:
Monday: Gluten-Free Maple Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal (Vegan, Allergy-Free)
Wednesday: Homemade Gluten-Free + Vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies (Allergy-Free, Sugar-Free)
Thursday: Freedom Feature: Jessica Hanson “Tasty Meditation”
