Hey everybody! Right here we’re, one other Monday, and one other alternative to begin the week proper (sure, for all of us!). I simply wrapped (what’s to this busy girl) an enormous accomplishment over the weekend, and that’s the large guide that’s the biography of Steve Jobs. The quote above is used within the closing few passages within the guide, and it’s one which I feel I’ll carry with me for some time.
Progress being what makes our world go ’spherical, I can’t stress sufficient how affirmed I’m within the significance of pushing ahead on this life. Time doesn’t cease and neither ought to we, simply as long as we achieve this sensibly, and with consciousness. Residing with much less in all method of how: much less muddle, much less extra, much less meals, no matter your ‘much less’ is…..that’s what (IMHO) permits us to turn out to be free to benefit from the ahead movement of our time right here with extra ease, and extra freedom, and extra power. Letting go of the surplus to make means for what actually makes you tick. Clear path. Clear imaginative and prescient. Clear you. Clear me. What does readability imply to you?
Since final 12 months, Not So Quick has been cooking with elementary college children within the DTES right here in Vancouver. Each week we meet in a fluorescent lit kitchen to cut & mash & bake & chat. We cook dinner wholesome easy meals, share tales from our weeks, and ship the children dwelling with meals and the identical straightforward recipes.

It simply feels proper, and is only one small a part of what we are able to do.

Utilizing just about straight up kitchen pantry staples, you gained’t end up with out doubtless any of those components.
