The isolation and lack of human touch has hit me hard. I am struggling with that. This whole thing seems surreal, I feel as if time has stopped and yet moved at the speed of light, but I am stuck in the limbo of not knowing which one is true. I am very tired.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The social and political state of this country, also, is draining me. I am scared, I am angry, I am disappointed. I feel cheated, in a way, for having chosen America as my country; but at the same time, I have found myself surprisingly committed to doing my part to achieve the change I want, the change we need and deserve.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8021\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alicecarbone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5668-300x291.jpg?resize=200%2C194\" alt=\"nithya raman\" width=\"200\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5668.jpg?resize=300%2C291&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5668.jpg?resize=600%2C581&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5668.jpg?resize=768%2C744&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5668.jpg?resize=1024%2C992&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5668.jpg?resize=150%2C145&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5668.jpg?resize=1060%2C1027&amp;ssl=1 1060w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5668.jpg?resize=550%2C533&amp;ssl=1 550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5668.jpg?resize=516%2C500&amp;ssl=1 516w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_5668.jpg?w=1096&amp;ssl=1 1096w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>&#8211; I have been volunteering for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nithyaforthecity.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nithya Raman<\/a>, who is running in November for city council in District 4, against the incumbent David Ryu. I know Nithya, Benmont and I believe in her, in her genuine love for Los Angeles and in her skills to make it a place that works for everyone, not just for people like me. We hosted a wonderful Q&amp;A on Ben&#8217;s Instagram a few weeks ago, check it out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CDh1yorlp1o\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>How do I know that she is the one? The reasons are many (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nithyaforthecity.com\/platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">just look at her plan<\/a>): but the thing that I can tell you is that, unlike Mr. Ryu, funded among the others by <a href=\"https:\/\/laist.com\/projects\/2020\/pama\/takeaways\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PAMA Management<\/a> and Police Unions, there is no money involved in Raman&#8217;s campaign. That&#8217;s how I trust her genuine call to service.<\/p>\n<p>In order to help her campaign I am selling some pretty cool clothes of mine on Poshmark; some are still available, all the proceeds will go to her campaign, and Benmont and I will match the total. We will donate it all. Check it out here, <a href=\"https:\/\/poshmark.com\/listing\/Meet-your-Posher-Alice-5e3e464aedb3b7cfdd7c81ff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">go shop my closet:&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I have also been doing phone banking for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and what warms my heart is the response I receive from people. They often don&#8217;t have much time when I call (dinnertime or weekend) and yet they care, they take the time to talk, and they thank me for my service. I don&#8217;t need to be thanked, but I love to hear that people do care. I don&#8217;t watch much TV, but I know that media tend to not show that. This gives me hope.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I have finished my cook book\/ essay collection, and there is currently one agent reading it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; I have been having a lot of fun filming my recipes on Instagram, and imagining myself on set. I love it and I think I am a natural at it. Ben and I have been guests on a beautiful show called <em>Quarantine Kitchen<\/em>, hosted by <a href=\"https:\/\/reverb.org\/news\/reverbs-quarantine-kitchen-episode-12-benmont-alice-tench\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reverb<\/a>. You can watch it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/live\/?v=602057820469573&amp;ref=watch_permalink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>, if you missed it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <em>Instagram to Table<\/em> (my show) is going great, and yet I often find myself frustrated with the numbers. People keep telling me that to be noticed, represented, picked, I must have bigger numbers. I post quality content, I have created a beautiful community, and yet the numbers go up very, very slowly. I ask myself why, and I beat myself up.<\/p>\n<p>See, I spent more than half my life obsessed with the decreasing numbers on a scale, with the decreasing numbers of the calories on my plate, in order to &#8220;be seen&#8221;, and now it looks like the only thing that matters &#8220;to be seen&#8221; is the increasing number of followers on Instagram. But when I am cooking and sharing it with you I am at my happiest, so I let go of those numbers, and I focus on what matters, my happiness at the end of the day, and whether I did something good to help another person be happy as well.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have the &#8220;Verified&#8221; checkmark on a social media, but I give it to myself in life.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-8022\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.alicecarbone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-225x300.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-scaled.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-scaled.jpg?resize=150%2C200&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-scaled.jpg?resize=1060%2C1413&amp;ssl=1 1060w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-scaled.jpg?resize=550%2C733&amp;ssl=1 550w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-scaled.jpg?resize=375%2C500&amp;ssl=1 375w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-scaled.jpg?resize=810%2C1080&amp;ssl=1 810w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alicecarbone.com\/staging\/2381\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/alicecatherine-scaled.jpg?w=1420&amp;ssl=1 1420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>&#8211; Catherine is great. I love her more every day. She is my light. She is so smart, so bright, so willful and so funny. She is gorgeous, bilingual, strong, perfect. I was blessed with her coming into the world almost 3 (can you believe it?) years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And speaking of family and relationships&#8230;oh they are difficult these days, all of them: those forced with distance and those forced with presence. Every marriage is difficult during these times, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, Catherine, Ben and Elis went to Target. So for the first time in I don&#8217;t even remember how long, I was at home alone. I wasn&#8217;t feeling well, hormones and migraine&#8230;but I was alone, and I felt free. I didn&#8217;t realize how much I had missed that feeling, the feeling of just being with myself. I am a wild animal, and I feel trapped these days. And not for lack of love, gosh, Ben is the love of my life, but I miss myself.<\/p>\n<p>I miss the freedom and the space, even if there is plenty in this house. I miss the lightness and naturalness of being by myself, I miss the relaxation of the muscles of my face when I am alone, I miss choosing to be with my family, rather than having to be 24\/7. This is the nature of a pandemic, we are safer at home.<\/p>\n<p>So when I feel like running away I think that we are all healthy, we have all we need, we have Elis, we have love, we have great food and amazing neighbors who have become family, we have a gorgeous garden, we have AC, we have a view, we have time, and we have hope.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>So how are <strong>you<\/strong> guys?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I hope some of this made sense to you. I hope some of these words made you feel less alone. And if nothing of what I wrote resonated, thank you for reading all the way through anyhow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>ps. Vote, and make sure your neighbors and friends do too. Volunteer, donate if you can. When I receive insults on Instagram from far-right trolls, which I do, I think: &#8220;Who cares, I can leave anytime and have a beautiful life in Europe.&#8221; And yes, I can. But I care about this country. My husband and his family are Americans, my daughter is American, my best friends are American, I am an American now. And I think that the majority of Americans isn&#8217;t racist, a bigot, a white-nationalist, a Trump supporter. I believe that the majority of this country is what I came here for.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you live in the giant Los Angeles District 4? <a href=\"http:\/\/navigatela.lacity.org\/common\/mapgallery\/pdf\/council_districts\/CD4_8.5_11.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Check here and vote for Nithya Raman, please<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Do you want my clothes?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/poshmark.com\/listing\/Meet-your-Posher-Alice-5e3e464aedb3b7cfdd7c81ff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here and shop<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Do you want to know how powerful city council is in a city like Los Angeles? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nithyaforthecity.com\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Click here<\/a> to read how important this local election is.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I love you guys.
