Closed Loop Cooking Weekly Newsletter 9.18.20 (copy 01)

September 25th, 2020

Hi fam,

Happy birthday to... me! To mark this pass around the sun I’m enjoying a breakfast waffle, a long walk in the park, and Studio Ghibli to round out the evening. Can’t wait. And y’all should too. I’d love for everyone to take a moment today to indulge in something totally joyful. Find bliss in that perfect morning routine, dive into a good read, or watch 90 Day Fiance with no judgement over here. The world is in seemingly complete upheaval and I encourage you to bring the light and love we so desperately need right now.

Let’s manifest the healing that will bring us through the rest of this year. Let’s find and spread warmth as far as we can. Let’s start with our own moments of honest joy and allow that to naturally ripple throughout our communities. 

We’re allowed joy. You are allowed joy. It is, in fact, an act of resilience. In the face of so much uncertainty, our joy, the joy of BIPOC + LGBTQIA folx is a literal tool for change. So make space for that light y’all, we need it.

What made you joyful today?

Stay hungry,Hawnuh Lee | Founder, Closed Loop Cooking
