As a British person, I’m offended by this anti-dunking slander!

Warning! The chocolate coated dunkers are totally addictive but extremely enjoyable. Trader Joe's is open right now, come to think of it. Dare I get another tub of dunkers?

Thank you for bringing a smile to my otherwise overwhelmingly anxious day. Further, by the gift of delicious trials provided by TJs.

Thank you for the fun reading :) (sorry, listening!)

Your story is a good analogy that explains how I love approaching more complex situations in life: no one imposes rules and “how to’s” on me that absolutely doesn’t align with what feels right to MY gut.

There’s no “one size fits all” in healing & growing and when ppl say one way is “absolutely” how it should be done, i let them enjoy it their way but will never again submit myself to “follow orders” like i used to do in my old life…

I live in the sticks where gross capitalists want to clear cut our forest and use glycosphates to get the low growth and run off into our town reservoirs..we are too benighted to have a Trader Joe’s…

My Favorite Store!!! Sadly I now live too far away from a T. Joe’s. They do have -> the BEST of everything!
