I feel the strength of our community. I feel how we are adapting to this global health crisis with a sense of unity. The awareness that the Coronavirus is bringing to our homes and to our thinking might help shift our priorities and our world back to its thriving state— this might be a new beginning. We have to become aware of taking care of our health just as we must be mindful of our lifestyle choices.

Meanwhile, I will remain creative. Many of you have asked for cooking classes. I will post the recipes here and on my instagram.
