As I sit here finishing up my sehri, I reflect on the internal spiritual transformation I’ve undergone over the last little while.

As someone who is making a very conscious effort of observing ramadan in its fullest sense this year, I feel really lucky. The more I think about my roots, the more I feel content with having that base that I can lean into at any point in life without judgement, without external validation, without guilt.

As I’ve opted to pursue a life of less, less people, less noise, less superficial interactions, less stuff, less of anything that doesn’t fully make me feel like I’m exactly where I need to be, I feel at ease and the timing of ramadan has been a wonderful reset.

For years, I carried shame of not being able to fully claim my religion because I left it in some small way but I largely left the walls of the community. My heart was always where it needed to be. I’m not a religion defender because I think we need deep care above scripture but I’m a defender of finding a guide that brings you closer to purpose, the purpose of trying to be good and I’ve realized how much good I grew up with.

This doesn’t mean I don’t question or reject some of it. It just means I focus on the stuff that helps people in some small way.

Effort doesn’t need to be grand, it just has to be meaningful.

For me, fasting has made me understand the discomfort of those who have to go without food (near and far).

It has given me a deep appreciation for so much of my community who so generously feed others as giving sadqa (alms) to the poor is mandatory.

It has given me a deep appreciation for people who take a few minutes out of their day to pray because ultimately what is prayer than a meditative practice insisted upon you by a higher being. It’s like saying, here: you get to shut everything off for a few minutes and meditate where none of the worldly noise matters. Just you and a higher being.

I find it ironic that all these calendar driven events like ramadan, lent, lunar year all share proximity. How is it not proof that we are all the product of one thing with different start settings?

All this to say, Ramadan Mubarak, Happy Lent, Happy LNY 🌙🧧✝️

Corporate holiday cookies can be FUN. I sometimes almost want invites to your events cuz they look so damn fun. Thank you for your continued support year after year.

A retro themed party deserves a festive disco ball. Yes or Yes?

Also: Editing and posting is literally a part time job on its own. Explains why we have so many cookies and cake photos backed up.

Corporate cookies, holiday cookies, we are having a blast. Email us at [email protected] for all custom work, or click link in bio for shop and events!

The summer of growth- Part 1

I’ve been quiet, intentionally - mostly rewording things in my mind over and over again while failing to find a place for the words to belong somewhere. I’ve entertained multiple avenues for long form inner thought processing but it all still feels self indulgent in a way but I’m allowing myself permission to share as I reflect on a new season ushering in. This one is for me.

These pages and these businesses you see on here as you scroll and swipe along are filled with real humans navigating sometimes mediocre, sometimes exciting, sometimes monotonous lives.

This place feels like a necessity to exist on because simply put, it’s the poor man’s version of free marketing but it also comes with baggage. Baggage of when to engage, how to engage, what to consume, what to ignore. It’s becoming increasingly harder to self calibrate the ins and outs of it all but we try….I’m here for the funny memes mostly.

I’m a wordy human, so if it were my way- I’d write essays about my inner workings all day long but that too feels you know- very Leo- like, oh- look at that mane of hers…mostly gibberish ..

Simply put, this summer was the summer of growth.

1. I grew my first sunflower from seed🌻

2. I co-helped care for/grow an allotment garden which made me appreciate gardening that much more.🪏

3. I grew in letting go of that negative tape that plays in my mind over and over again every day about interactions that made me feel unloved and unworthy. I fully let go by not forcing myself to let go. Thanks therapy. 🏅

4. I grew in some woo woo stuff like biofeedback and brain tapping. I’m a science girly but man oh man, has this stuff been refreshing.

5. I grew in relearning my body’s needs. Eat fibre babes.
“It’s not a tumor”- Schwarzenegger

6. I grew in eliminating spaces for people who have consistently failed to create space for me.

7. I grew in age and cholesterol deposits lol

These all sound semi positive, eh? I also un-grew a bit, I regressed, I had a handful of loss, emotionally and financially, I lost my desire to create, I lost my need to connect, I lost big work projects cuz I said, kids shouldn’t be unalived. 🍉
