I squeeze into my not-so-little red dress because I’m meeting my handsome detective boyfriend for Valentine’s dinner. When my cat pulls his ‘finicky eater’ act, I detour to the store to buy him something yummy. I’m in the cat food aisle staring at the ugliest cat carrier I’ve ever seen when I hear gunshots. A panicked, lost, black cat, is skittering toward the front door. I do what any sensible person would: I tackle the cat. I rip my dress. I lug that cat around in the ugliest carrier trying to find his owner. But the only guy that will help me is the ghost of the man who was just murdered…

It’s Christmastime when my boyfriend, Detective Raphael announces he’s traveling to Wisconsin for a job interview. Back off Dairy State. You're not getting him without a fight.

I’m interviewing with nice-guy, Silicon Beach millionaire Mason Callaway to cater the desserts at his birthday bash. His name can open doors and I really want this gig. So, I go for it. I pop on Instagram and research his foodie posts. I spend hours concocting confections for him to taste.

Duke was always a good boy but when an ominous cloud rises out of the darkness something happens that changes everything. As he lies in his doghouse, he begins to hear the high-pitched humming grow louder and louder until his ears perk up. He slowly stands and cocks his head in the direction of where it is coming from before he emits a low threatening growl. His body stiffens as if to alert his owner of an unknown dangerous presence. However, when the sound becomes almost deafening, he peeks out and sees the huge black cloud circle around his owner’s house.

What do you do when you hear this strange voice in your head that keeps saying, "I'm hungry" Melissa is like every other girl her age, but when her parents decide to go camping for the weekend unexpectedly, she immediately begins to suspect that something is afoot. However, when she goes along with the charade and they camp in the woods, does she end up with more on her plate then just what her mother cooks? “Alright, you got to quit that.” I murmur under my breath because I have read way too many scary stories about the image in the mirror coming to life.

Gratitude helps us fall in love with the life we already have, and to practice gratitude, we often need to unbecome what was expected of us to become who we were always meant to be. The winding road to shedding the old version as the new one emerges can be turbulent, treacherous and full of obstacles. It can also be one of the most beautiful experiences as we emerge a more powerful holder of light.

Foraging is becoming increasingly popular, from TikTok to tasting menus at the most exclusive restaurants around the world. People are discovering that delicious wild edibles are waiting for us in our own backyards, led by champions such as Gabrielle Cerberville. Known as “The Chaotic Forager” online, Cerberville argues that foraging is the past, present, and future of food, and the key to unlocking a reciprocal relationship with the land that feeds us. Through learning to engage with the world of wild food, she contends, we can also build a kinder, more respectful relationship with ourselves.
