What they saw, and behind the scenes.
Don't let things not being perfect keep you from doing the thing.

I was honored to be invited to speak at @
Veteran Social this year and I LOVED sharing my message and my heart with this amazing group.

Also- leading up to actually starting, I had to go rounds. I had to fight through not having a great space to film, knowing I haven't felt my best physically or mentally lately, even feeling maybe like I don't belong on a stage like that. It's true. I'm not immune to any of that.

But one of the lessons I learned on active duty was to do it anyway. It doesn't matter if you're ready or not, if you feel like it or not, if you want to or not. You have to do your best to be prepared and go for it.
That's a lesson I have come back to more times than I can count.

And yes, sometimes the right answer is to rest instead. To NOT do the thing, to take the break you need and stop for a while.
But when the right thing is to do it, you do it anyway.

And I'm always so glad I did!

Sometimes it's nice having a husband who works in restaurants!

I've had super low energy lately (more about that to come) and hubby has been stepping up to make sure I'm getting nutrient dense meals.

It's ok to be bad at things and do them anyway.

In case you didn't know, a lot of the reminders here are reminders for myself that maybe you need too.

I avoided making bread for a long time. Maybe especially sourdough bread.

I like, make, and have taught sourdough classes for years, making everything sourdough except bread.

Finally, it was time, and at the beginning of this year, I took a class from a friend and dove in. First time went great! Then... not so much. My mom watched me do the first ones and hers have been awesome!
Mine may actually just keep getting worse.

But you know what?

Its OK.

It's still worth doing.

So is painting. I'm no great artist by any stretch. But it brings me joy, and makes other people smile when I share what I've made.

So... who wants to do things togethet whether they turn out or not?

It's not uncommon for me to take a picture of my food.
For a while, I probably did more often than not. Usually so I had something to use when working on posts for you, sometimes because it was pretty and made me happy.

This time, it made me think about perspective.

While they're both colorful photos of nutrient dense food, it occurred to me that some people would have different reactions to these photos based on perspective- both their own, and that of the photo.

This is the same plate. My lunch at a catered conference I'm at. But which side is front and center can create a unique response.

Something about that stuck me as fitting and as a reminder that maybe you need as well.

Nourishing yourself is more than the food on your plate.

It's who you surround yourself with.
It's how you spend your time, your relationships, creative outlets, and what you're putting into your mind.

Here's a few I've been listening to (that's the season I'm in) in the last few months.

What are you reading or listening to?

Happy Easter!
The ultimate fresh new part of spring is the hope offered by the resurrection.
