This is simply an overview of what my year looked like, not advice for how you should live your life. (That said, you are always welcome to use this general format for your own Annual Review.)

We talk a lot about mindful eating around here, and for lots of good reasons! But, at least for me, I often think of it as a personal practice. Maybe not solitary, exactly, but it’s something that I do, for myself – not because someone else is influencing it.But mindful is one of the first words I reached for when describing my incredible outdoor dining experience with Kiawe Outdoor, along with thoughtful, elevated, and, holy cow how did I get this lucky?I happened to be on Maui for my husband’s work (which, yes, is a big part of the answer…
