How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
~ Anne Frank
It’s been a little while since I posted about something other than food, which is strange to me as the truth is just this: I never set out to be a food blogger. Funny how you just never know where the path will take you after you take that first step, and I can’t imagine anything else I would rather be doing with my life right now. Continue reading

The most important things in life aren’t things.
~ Anthony J. D’Angelo
Since it seems now to be the season of get together’s (yay!), this past weekend saw us taking part in a real live potluck to echo the blogging event from last weekend, this time with quite a different real life twist to it. I consider myself and the family to be truly blessed to have an endearing bunch of long-time close friends, a good bunch of them living here in Whistler where I sit as I write this. Over the past 10 plus years, it has become somewhat customary for our group to spend the May long weekend together, with our numbers growing ever larger as families & personalities expand and the children (almost) out number the adults.

Why are you trying so hard to fit in, when you’re born to stand out.

When nothing is sure, everything is possible.

It’s true really that life can change in an instant. You just never know when & where you might get struck. I was thinking about this the other day on one of my weekend runs. Breathing the air around me and feeling every part of my body move, I often get caught up in highly constructive & stream of consciousness thought, working my way through things I might never recall without the quiet time and the space to open up and let it flow (this is why I can’t run with my beloved music).

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I think of a potluck, I can’t begin to tell you the memories that flood my mind and fill me with a nostalgic sense of where I come from. As a child of the 70′s, I remember the basics: edible flowers in wooden bowls, and lacy patchouli scented tablecloths strewn with every type of home-grown sprout & fresh tofu or edible wild green. Circles of hands & the feeling of well-worked adult fingers wrapped around mine. Continue reading
