I'm not "supposed" to eat spices. Apparently I have the wrong body composition for heat. I totally do not know what that means. It seems like it's no different than the wrong brain composition for math. I love spice & I love math. So the supposed to do things are not right for me. What is the "You're Not Supposed to Do"...that you love and do anyway? Please don't say drugs 😜

If you could add one thing to the classroom, what would it be?

I was volunteering at a silent retreat this week. Working in the kitchen allowed for some conversation but also a lot of silence and peaceful contemplation. At brunch today the retreat ended and silence was lifted. It took less than an hour for me to become so overstimulated that I had to retreat myself! I'd been getting up at 4am to prepare breakfast & coffee and lying down for a nap at 10am after clean up was done. Brunch was served at 9 so my schedule was off as was everyone else's on the kitchen team. I'm sure that contributed. After I went back to nap a friend wanted to talk about her retreat experience. This helped me to realize once I am overstimulated by sound I cannot carry on a conversation until I have rested and reset. What makes you overstimulated the fastest? How do you overcome it and reset?

I'm on kitchen duty in the most fabulous energy vortex in Newfoundland! I just thought I'd share some of the energy with all of you.

Share one activity that sets you free even for a moment. Just for fun pop a gif in the comments and see if anyone can guess what that activity is.
