I am leading a group of bloggers through The Joy Diet by Martha Beck and what a journey it has been! This week we’re talking about treats and I so loved one of the exercises that I want to share it with you. I hope it will inspire you to create just such a list of your own. Maybe this will become a delicious Sensory Delight blogging meme! All you have to do is come up with 5 ways to complete each of these sentences.
