ADVERB OF THE DAY: Absolutely

Absolutely nothing compares to the freedom of savoring life on your own terms.

Freedom isn’t just about big leaps, it’s about small, intentional choices: the solo coffee, the quiet walk, the dinner you linger over without apology.

For years, I believed independence had to be loud, dramatic, or performative. But the truth? It’s often quiet. It’s the gentle rhythm of choosing yourself, again and again, until it feels natural.

That’s what "Eating Adverbs" explores: how independence moves from hesitation to habit, from fear to fluency.

ADVERB OF THE DAY: Often

We often forget that living alone isn’t about what’s missing, it’s about what’s present.

Presence at your own table. Presence in your own rhythm. Presence with your own joy.

When I first began exploring solo living, I thought independence meant isolation. But over time, I realized something powerful: solitude can be a source of clarity, creativity, and even celebration.

What if we reframed the narrative? What if being alone wasn’t a void, but a canvas?

That’s the heartbeat of "Eating Adverbs": a manifesto for thriving solo, not as a fallback, but as a deliberate, joyful choice.

We close out November with "National Mousse Day." This photo pictures a chocolate mousse with mint. I think that might be one of my favorites, actually!

What's your favorite mousse? Anyone got tips on how to make this at home?

November 28th is "National French Toast Day." I must admit that I'm not a huge fan of this one. I tend to shy away from sweet things for breakfast/brunch. I am more of a fan of savory.

Do you like French Toast? If so, what are your favorite toppings?

ADVERB OF THE DAY: HOURLY

Life shifts hourly. Not always dramatically, but in rhythms we scarcely notice: the way light changes across a room, the way our energy rises and falls and the way resilience is built, not in one grand gesture, but in hourly repetitions.

"Eating Adverbs" is about noticing those rhythms - the ones that shape us quietly, but profoundly.

As I move through sixteen weeks of revision, I’ll be inviting readers to share their own rhythms. What changes for you hourly - and how do those small shifts shape your days?

ADVERB OF THE DAY: IN

We live in moments, not just around them. Presence isn’t about performance. It’s about being in the pause, the silence, and the rhythm.

"Eating Adverbs" explores what it means to be in your own life, not just moving through it . . . to notice the places where solitude becomes strength, and where clarity is found in the quiet.

As I begin sixteen weeks of revision, I’ll be asking readers to share their own reflections. Where do you feel most in your life - fully present, fully alive?

ADVERB OF THE DAY: CLEARLY

Clarity doesn’t always arrive on demand. Sometimes it sneaks in quietly, sometimes it takes years of repetition. But when it comes, we see ourselves - and our choices - more clearly.

"Eating Adverbs" is about those moments of recognition, the ones that remind us we’ve been practicing resilience and rhythm all along.

As I move into sixteen weeks of revision, I want to hear from you. What do you see more clearly now than you once did? Your reflections may help shape the final copy of this book.

ADVERB OF THE DAY: ENORMOUSLY

We often think transformation has to be dramatic, but sometimes the smallest shifts change us enormously: a pause in the noise, a choice to step away, or a moment of solitude that reframes everything.

"Eating Adverbs" is built on those kinds of moments - the ones that don’t announce themselves loudly, but still alter the rhythm of our lives.

As I begin sixteen weeks of revision, I’ll be reaching out for your insights. Because the book isn’t just mine - it’s shaped by the ways you’ve been changed enormously too.

What’s a moment that shifted you enormously, even if it seemed small at the time?

November 24th is "National Sardines Day." I think these are a "love it or hate it" kind of food item. I personally love sardines. What about you?

ADVERB OF THE DAY: ALREADY

So much of life is already in motion before we realize it: the habits we’ve repeated, the resilience we’ve practiced, the quiet clarity that’s been building beneath the surface.

This week marks the first of sixteen weeks of revision for "Eating Adverbs." By the end, I’ll submit the final copy to the publisher. And here’s the truth: the book is already alive in the conversations we’ve had, the reflections you’ve shared, and the curiosity you’ve carried with me.

What has already taken root in your life - something you didn’t notice until it held you steady?
