This is so great Dina! I love the mention of how someone can participate even if you don’t fast. Charity/donating time and money is good any time of the year. I’m super interested in making the falafel wrap and checking out desified.

Thanks so much! Yes, I still get so much from this time of year even though I don't fast. I think everyone could do with this reflective time to share, appreciate, and reconnect with themselves.

I love this! While I’m not fasting this month, my husband is and so our everyday rhythm has changed quite a bit and it’s allowed us both to be more appreciative of what we have and more mindful of our eating habits. Those falafel wraps look amazing! Thanks for sharing

Thanks Noha, I loved reading about your experience and perspective. An important addition to my non-expert perspective 😅

awww thank you Dina. I wouldn't say I'm expert at all, by the way. I think we may all have varying levels of imposter syndrome heheheheh.
