FANTASY

We all fantasize, 
 but how many of us
 fantasize 
 about being of greater service
 to the one we call our Higher Power

What do you fantasize about?
 Is it about fighting for equality 
 amongst all of humanity?
 Or is it about working to bring about 
 world peace?
 Perhaps it is about practicing patience 
 or compassion with all of humanity.
 Perhaps it is about promoting 
 healing and wholeness

May we open 
 our heart, mind, and soul to 
 fantasizing about 
 making it on earth
 as it is in Heaven
 or at least
 as we fantasize
 it to be.

REST IN PEACE

Rest in peace
 my friend.
 It is what we say
 when we lose a dear one.
 When we know their
 life’s work is done 
 and they can now
 rest in peace.

What if anytime we 
 gave something time to rest, 
 we said rest in peace.
 Like when one parks their car,
 or lets their meat rest before cutting
 or I shut my wheelchair off
 or we shut our technology down 
 or we give anything that serves us 
 time to rest. 

Rest in peace 
 my car, 
 my phone, 
 my computer, 
 my wheelchair, 
 my friend.
 Thank you for your service today.
 now rest in peace
 until we meet again.

PAMPERED, NOT PROFESSIONAL, CHEF

The other day a friend asked me why I was not a professional chef since I love cooking. I love cooking, but those I know who aspire to be part of the culinary world professionally, live, eat and sleep food and that I do not do. I love cooking for friends because I love my friends and family, but I do not have visions of plates and how food is arranged on them. It is not something I dream about, feel that passionate about, or feel called to do.

On the other hand, I love being an Independent Consultant for Pampered Chef. It provides me with opportunities to interact with people and have made some great friendships because of it. No longer being able to freely leave my house has limited my ability to do so, so Pampered Chef has been my lifeline. It has also been a way for me to earn an additional stream of income and who can’t use a side gig that comes with flexible hours. I also get to share what I have come to learn about cooking with others. So I get to do mini culinary instruction, but only because of all the amazing skills I have learned from Pampered Chef.
