Don’t worry

The song Don't Worry, Be Happy was written expressly for me. Because if there is nothing to worry about - than I worry about the absence of something to worry about.

I am concerned I may not be getting my point across.... (see what I mean.)

Over the years, I have tried to focus on what gifts I have as an antidote to paralysis. They say comparison is the thief of joy, and they may be right.

However, I am keenly aware that I have many privileges not afforded everyone. My body is not the strongest nor my brain the smartest, but I have good use of both. I am far from rich, but I have been employed steadily since I was old enough to work.

And so I try

even when I worry I will fail-  

because I know there are so many circumstances that would make the act of "trying" impossible for me.

On October 20th I will be hosting another Pop-Up dinner on Grace Farms in Chandler, AZ. It is a farm-to-table event that I am very proud of.

Am I a restauranteur by training or experience? No.

Am I an expert in farms? No.

Basically, do I know what I am doing? Not really.

But in the act of trying, I brought a set of experiences many people have loved into the world.

Those of you who’ve been long term listeners and those of you who have purchased one of our handmade charms –

You’ve helped me in this imperfect journey of mine.

Thank you and I promise that I am trying my best to be worthy of that trust.

And  - don’t worry –

I am doing enough of that for both of us.
