As I prepared for my most recent trip abroad, I recognized that I have created a really slick system for packing, traveling, and having everything I need for the trips both domestic and overseas. I love the ability to expand the soft side of the luggage for those return trips when you might have picked up a couple small souvenirs that you need to tuck into the bag for the return trip. It expands to quite large, is great to pack a picnic for a longer day trip while out, and fits a surprising amount of those last-second items. It is nice to have an option for a real bag with a great, comfortable handle and zipper top for security while traveling, and also be able to easily pack it into the carryon or personal item for the flights.

and I think the reason this came up last week was because we were talking about podcasts and how you know, this is a self development show primarily where you know, people come away, hopefully feeling inspired and uplifted and maybe with a few things that they want to work on or change in their lives and it’s not a entertainment show where you’re left hanging at the end of each episode and you can’t wait to listen to the next episode to find out like what comes next in the story. This idea of universal time and getting somewhere on time or how long something takes us or feeling like we behind all of the things in my life, all of the biggest things that caused me, you know, some overwhelmed, negative emotions have to do with time. As you consider your season right now and how your season right now is going to be different than anyone else’s and maybe by opening your mind and allowing yourself to consider time and seasons a little bit differently, you will find some peace in the present and you will find some acceptance in where you happen to be in your life today. As you think about the season of life that you’re in, whether it’s by choice, something that you’ve chosen that you want to step away from or step into and all of the things that that brings with it that are sometimes tricky and different than you may have expected or whether you find yourself some self in a circumstance that you didn’t know was coming a season where you’re ill or someone near you is ill.

We began having a Middle-Eastern/Mediterranean style meal several years ago, born out of my desire to serve lamb, but only loving gyro lamb from a local Greek restaurant. The menu has evolved over the years, but remained true to the “mezze” style meal of multiple, delicious small plates, most of which can be served hot or cold. As I was working on this post to share over there, I was delighted to find a bunch of delicious options for the meal in the World Market grocery section.
