Great advice. I’m a big fan of incrementalism. It’s one of the few isms that makes sense, actually works, and doesn’t result in mass murder or economic upheaval.

It's true! I also got crippling anxiety and a nurse fetish, but those are issues for future psychologists to worry about.

That's the key--step by step and inch by inch.

A muffin a day keeps the... something away.

I'm not sure how that expression goes.

The saying goes, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." In this case, I'm not sure WHAT a muffin a day would keep away!

Brilliant- as usual (love the new, blond you!). It’s okay to hate the things that have happened (e.g. that beast cancer) AND still be a happy person 🏊‍♀️😉💕🏊‍♀️😉💕

As someone who can kill plastic plants as well as you kill living ones, I salute you. The world needs more of your guidance. What’s more, you serve blueberry muffins alongside your practical paths to happiness.

That’s enough to make me happy!

Thank you, Alexander!

I've heard whispers of another green thumb of death... now I know it was you! Long may we terrify plants of all persuasions.

Following the US Presidential debate, I’m thinking we could become the new spokespeople for vegetarianism:

“Kill a plant, save a pet!”

I'm happy it was/apologise if it was gluten-free.

I’m a perfectionist but getting better at being more ‘chill’ these days 😂… I like to find joy and happiness wherever and whenever I can - so totally concur with the advice here 🤗👍🏻…. Oh and I’m gluten free. So seriously - what’s the deal with these free muffins?! …
