Love is love cannot be swept aside … And love, is love, is love, is love, is love, is love, is love, is love cannot be killed or swept aside….Lin-Manuel Miranda

Assembling Your Alliance
It’s good to have allies, even those who you wouldn’t expect. People need to feel like someone is there for them. Encourage allegiances to help you win the day. We all need to feel like we belong and we are valued in any cause. Just because someone is not as enthusiastic about something doesn’t mean they care. Be willing to take whatever help you can get because a force is built one person at a time.
When you are building your team be willing to see the possibilities and don’t be so easy to dismiss. You might find a fierce fighter from a fisherman or a guy from the IRS. You just never know where your best teammates will come from. Some of the best teams are made up of misfit toys who want to do their part because they have never been picked before and they want to play hard and win. So when you are putting your squad together be sure your looking at everyone, you might never know who will be the person to do amazing magic.
Six Word Story
I embrace diversity of all sorts.
Fishing, Of Sorts
Fishing requires going to the shore or getting on a boat and throwing out a line with a hook on it or a net. Sometimes you need to remember how to do those things so you can catch a fish that will feed you more completely. Baiting the hook and continuing to throw the net out will get you results if you are patient enough.
Our New Favorite Thing
When you like it hot but not too hot.
Our friend John posted on Facebook about this chili garlic sauce and how good it was. The next time I was at the store, I spotted it and grabbed it immediately. Since then, I’ve been looking for ways to use it (and having so much delicious fun!) Here are some of the winning choices:
Szechuan Shrimp (coming soon!)
(It’s also really delicious added at the table as you would sriracha or any hot sauce; just be sparing until you know how much you can handle!)
I am not a big fan of Beyonce. There I said it. Proceed with the hate.
