Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Happy Thursday, friends! After Memorial Day this week and being gone from work for five whole days, I finally have gotten back in the swing of things. I woke up on Tuesday and was sending out emails that said "Happy Wednesday" if that can give you any inclination as to how my week began. You could say I'm ready for the weekend! But before we go into a new weekend, I thought I'd chat with you ...
I've learned one thing about living in Chicago and it's that I never really can find a good spot that has decent plant-based food for an affordable price.

When I came home from Washington, D.C. on Saturday evening I had planned to attend the Cuyahoga Community College Jazz Fest held near Playhouse Square in downtown Cleveland with one of my best friends, Lylah.
