A favorite pastime of mine is reading once I have completed all my work for the day. I do not enjoy audios as much as a real physical book in my hand, but am learning to do so more during the COVID-19 pandemic. This summer I read several books: Mr. Mercedes, Just Mercy, Where The Crawdads Sing, and The Woman in The Window.

Running is my favorite form of exercise besides hiking and cycling. I have a treadmill at home but definitely prefer running outside or on trails. I often run in orchards near my neighborhood or along the city bikepath.

I make a conscious effort to spend time outdoors. Even though I have an infant, I just bring her with me. We do a lot of hiking, or pack our meal as a picnic in the park. Time in nature is supposed to lower our stress levels, boost our endorphins, and help us collect even more vitamins and nutrients.

If I could eat a cookie or pastry every day, I probably would. Instead, I try to create healthy pastries where I replace butter or oil with banana, apple sauce, pear, or avocado. Sometimes I replace the flour with almond flour or quinoa or ground oats. Healthy baked goods are still delicious!

I LOVE coffee. I make a strong mocha or latte every morning. Sometimes I pull espresso shots and pour them straight over ice. Yum!
