What are your Halloween treat purchases funding? Who are they supporting? What kind of world is it creating? Consider everything when buying your treats and you will be embracing #EmpathyEconomics and enjoying and sharing amazing cookies and chocolate! Proud to know and support @chocosoltraders and @newmooncookies ... two local businesses determined to make Halloween happier, in Covid times and all of the time! Brussel sprouts shown are not included. #trickortreat
There is power in believing you can improve. It’s time to discover your #WellnessIntelligence.
"The world doesn’t need another business school. It needs a new school of thought.”
Support ‘the independents’...remember that every dollar you spend and everything you do matters...it really matters. Embrace #EmpathyEconomics
You can. 💫
It is the people in our lives that colour our world and make our hearts feel happy and safe. Not just the ones we live with, but our friends, our clients, our colleagues ... these pandemic days have us missing wrapping our arms around each other, laughing and sharing in person, but we can still continuously show gratitude to and appreciation for those good humans we “share” our days with...and remind each other how fortunate we are to have these connections.

You can either focus on your challenges and fears or you can focus on what is keeping you together. We always have choices, we simply need to make decisions!
We appreciate Anna Lappe, founder and director of @realfoodmedia, sharing how she finds the courage to speak up and speak out:
.
“ I remember getting ready for one of my first public talks and being terrified. I was talking with my friend Anuradha Mittal, who heads the @oaklandinstitute, and confessing my fears. She said, well, do you feel like you have something to say that you want people to hear? ‘Of course,’ was my quick and easy answer. ‘Then, focus on that,’ she said. It doesn’t matter if you’re nervous or scared: It’s not about you, it’s about the message. She was right. And every time I have gotten butterflies since then, I think of her wise words.”

This is an excerpt from our conversation with Anna, part of our series, #InterviewsWithMosquitos, found on our unblog at bordencom.com. Real Food Media is a women-led organization that uses a wide range of communications tools for food system transformation. If you haven’t watched/listened to Anna’s @ted Talk called “The Empathy of Food”, we highly recommend you carve the minutes out to look it up and pass it on too!
