Today was a clear and beautiful spring day in the Willamette Valley, the kind that makes you reevaluate the idea of work and what we do with our time. The kind of cool breezes mixed with warm sun that calls you outside. I walked my funny dogs through the woods and listened to a poem by John O’Donohue called Beannacht, which means Blessing in Gaelic.

As I listened over and over again to the...

“The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved — loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.” -Victor Hugo

The number of food items that are sold in mass proportion that have almost no food in them is mind boggling. Even my kids, who...

“There’s no disaster that can’t become a blessing, and no blessing that can’t become a disaster” -Richard Bach
