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.
"When we are involved in creativity, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life.” -
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!
Wishing you a meaningful day. 💚
Another reminder.
We appreciate @patagonia! These "hidden messages" can be found on Patagonia’s new "Road to Regenerative Stand-Up Shorts” (made with Regenerative Organic Certified cotton).
We appreciate Jessie Sosnicki from @sosnickiorganic for so many reasons, including sharing why her local, organic tomatoes cost more than ones from Mexico:
.
“As an organic farmer that works bent over in the dirt picking by hand I will not grow or sell cheap food. I once wholesaled bushels of peppers for $4. Never again. Our organic fields yield less tomatoes than large scale grown conventional imports because of bug damage, and diseases such as blight. But most importantly I grow for TASTE, not ‘production’ or ‘shelf life’. Paying $3/lb. for the most succulent tasting Heritage variety, like a big fat sweet rainbow Striped German, will boot the heck out of the .79 cent boring, tasteless, imported, red tomato any day!”
.
This is an excerpt from our conversation with Jessie part of our series, #InterviewsWithMosquitos, found on our unblog at bordencom.com. Visit sosnickiorganics.com to find out how you can enjoy her incredible produce in #Toronto! We love making Sosnicki our first stop at @evergreen_brick_works every Saturday and our weekly contactless delivery from their farm to our door you can sign up for fall and winter which includes perogie delivery - the best food is the food grown with love and good energy and best practices - this is it! And although tomato season is just about done, they grow everything with heart and for taste ... so choose well - every dollar you spend on food matters!
