We are eight days into the new year and I am already busy getting festivals open and working on growing Whimsy Wares. I’ve been able to get Statesville, Columbia, and Asheville Spring open to vendors and next I will work on opening up Durham in September and our cooking competition in May. I also have two meetings on Monday to discuss two additional cities: Greenville, SC and Fairfax, VA. I also heard from Atlanta Pyramid Meditation Academy about hosting an event on their property in Clemmons, GA. It’s busy and exciting too. I’ll keep you posted on the additions, but if we do Fairfax it will be in late April and we would skip Wilmington most likely. I’m still waiting to hear back from the Wilmington venue so that makes it difficult to plan something.

The weight of what happened in Minneapolis is taking its toll. We live in scary times when a person who is protesting can be murdered for driving their car or for their car blocking traffic, neither of which should ever be a death sentence. It gives me pause and true concern for every person who protests. Any type of protest. Kudos to everyone who is out there making a difference and speaking up with their voices and actions. We need more of this, not less.

So, how about the new food pyramid? Have you heard the news? It seems that meat and dairy are now at the top. It’s truly a WTF moment! It’s like the powers that be are doing everything they can to ruin the planet and all the people and sentient beings living on it. It means that our voices need to be louder. No one should be eating more red meat and dairy, no one. It’s a diet of cancer, heart disease, and strokes wrapped up in one. Maybe this is their way of reducing the population from living as long as we have been?

Edgy tonight, yes? 🙂

I’m going to love on my pups and my kitty cat and hopefully wake up tomorrow to a kinder world, at least one can dream, right?

Please send me something wonderful that is going on in your world. I’d love to hear positive things. Have a great week.
