Loving November

The first item on my list is that Stylish Heath is 11 years old …… can you believe it? The month of November is where it all started, as it’s such a creative month. I remember sitting at the kitchen table discussing recipes with mom and designing menus for the upcoming holidays. Also, that Thanksgiving Sean, Tony and I were traveling to Dubai [for my first time] and I couldn’t wait to post reviews and posts on the culture, spices, souks and the engaging people. Blogging has been a wonderful venue for creative expression, and can safely state I’ll be blogging another 11 years, and then another and another!!!

Spending time with the two newest members of our family [my niece and nephew] is the best way to celebrate the holidays. Aria and Eli are the most amusing and loveable duo……ever! I love how they look out for one another, and their relationship reminds me of the time spent with my siblings years ago. I can’t wait to see them in a few weeks!!!

I’ve been on a soup kick lately and can’t seem to get enough. For lunch or dinner, I want the pork and shrimp bowl from my friend Quy’s recipe file or the French Onion version from a bistro on my last trip to Paris.

While on morning walks during the fall there are opportunity’s to take the most beautiful photos. The mist coming through the trees with sunlight from behind gives an ethereal quality.

Stay stylish,
Kathleen

Walking-Hiking

What is your favorite form of physical exercise?

I’m one who enjoys a variety of yoga, Pilates or arobics as a daily epression of working out. But my absolute favorite form of physical excerise is opening the front door and walking up the sreet to stroll throughout the neighborhood. And, if I can walk on a clear crisp evening or under the early morning sky filled with stars that adds to the benefits of being outside.

This morning’s walk started out under very cloudy skies with a slight drizzle, but at 7:27am the sky began to clear as the sun rose.

There are many advantages to walking; it lessens anxiety, improves my sleep, builds immunity and boost creativity. I find walking threaputic if I’m designing a blog post. It’s where I do my most innovative thinking and crafting.

Stay strong,
Kathleen
