Do you save restaurant sauces? I do! Those exquisite sauces from take home containers can be used for new recipes 🙌🏻

For lunch today, I began with a bed of greens (kale, spinach, arugula), topped with brown rice, chickpeas, carrots, rainbow tomatoes, avocado, and fresh cracked black pepper. Then poured over a savory yellow curry sauce saved from dinner the night before to create a quick, fragrant and flavorful next-day meal!

Matunuck Oyster Bar and Farm

Rooftop waterfront dining under the autumn sun.

Butternut lobster bisque with beet purée — how pretty is that?

Refreshing pomegranate coconut water with basil, cilantro and lime over ice

Blackened yellowfin over mashed red bliss potatoes, fire roasted sweet pepper relish, and mustard cream sauce

There are 10-16 million oysters on the farm at any given time. AmaZing 💫

These oysters can filter enough water to fill 100 Olympic size swimming pools every day!

Oyster reefs absorb up to 76% to 93% of wave energy to help reduce coastal erosion.

Pretty cool bivalve mollusk! Thanks

“The presumption that pain, disappointment, or failure will cause harm is, in itself, harmful. These sorts of negative assumptions can lead to risk aversion.

Learning to be with our emotions with curiosity, courage, and compassion, discern what they are teaching us, and resist overidentifying with them can lead to emotional freedom. This paves the way for each of us to sit in the driver’s seat of ALL of our experiences, the ‘good’ and ‘bad,’ easy and hard.

Learning to be emotionally agile and normalize the ups and downs of living serves us personally and collectively.” (Chapter 4: Agility and the Attitude of Gratitude)

How are you learning to be okay with feeling uncomfortable?

This past weekend, I walked through a loud, verbally hostile incumbent rally. I was chastised for wearing a mask, to which I replied, “I don’t wear a mask for me, I wear it for you.”

Life can feel overwhelming during the cultural upheaval of evolution. Though metamorphosis is necessary for personal and collective progress, the attendant discomfort is often something we avoid or rail against.

Some may insult, blame, chastise, and hurt. Some may dwell in all-or-nothing self-talk or judgment. Some may sink into despair.

I struggle too. But I want to remind all of us that we have options.

PAUSE & BREATHE: Stop and take a deep breath. This will help you center and minimize reactive energy.

ASK yourself: What will my future self think about HOW I SHOWED UP? What will my children, and children’s children, think?

CONSIDER your options: What is the most skillful, helpful response aligned with my most important values?

WATCH out for: confirmation bias, negativity bias, prejudgment, overattachment to outcome.

ACT: When you choose human BEING ✨ before human doing, your chances of values-aligned actions are better.

PLEASE WEAR A MASK 😷
