The past 2 days I attended the Global Leadership Summit virtual event here in Fort McMurray. The last speaker of the event was focused on how we can bring Love and humanity back into the structures and institutions of society. His definition of Love hit me right in the chest and I think it sums up this group perfectly. His definition of Love is The deep & unwavering commitment to the flourishing of a Human I get digital access to all of the talks for the next 7 days, so I'm making my own copies. There are some amazing ones that I'll share here with everyone!

This talk kicked off the Global Leadership Summit last week. Just to note, the Summit does have a religious background to it, but it is more around celebrating the message and greatness of Leading People and not preaching. Craig Groeschel - Permission to Obsess

I know a few of you know that cooking is one of my favorite things. As the cold weather and snow starts to fly, I wanted to share a super easy no Knead bread recipe I came across a few years ago. A loaf rarely lasts the day in our house, and it makes your entire house smell like fresh baked bread! I always double the recipe to make a bigger loaf. Ingredients: 3 Cups (450g) flour 2 tsp instant yeast 2 tsp Salt (it calls for Kosher salt but I've used all types and it's worked) 1.5 cups (375ml) very warm tap water (Not boiling, you should be able to put your finger in it. If you have super chlorinated tap water, bottled water might work better or let the water sit out for the chlorine to evaporate off) Instructions: 1. Mix the flour, yeast, & salt in a large plastic or glass bowl 2. Add half the water and mix with the handle of a wooden spoon, add the other half once mixed 3. You're aiming for a wetter dough so that it rises better 4. Cover the bowl with cling wrap or a damp towel. Yeast works better when it is warmer, so you can put in the oven with the light on or if you're lucky turn on the bread proof setting on your oven. 5. Let the bread rise for 2-4 hours. Kneading isn't necessary but I will typically mix up the bowl every hour using the wooden spoon handle. 6. 30 minutes before you're ready to bake it, remove the dough from the oven and set the temperature to 450 degrees C. The recipe calls for a Dutch Oven to cook the bread in but I've used a large pot with a lid. The key is to keep the steam in with the baking bread to crisp the outside. 7. Sprinkle flour on a clean counter before scraping the dough out of the bowl. Shape into a rough ball before transferring it onto Parchment Paper. I've sprinkled a bit of salt or herbs on the top at this point for flavor. 8. Once the Dutch Oven/Pot is super hot, quickly open the oven and remove the lid. Place the dough & parchment paper in & quickly put the lid back on and close the oven. 9. Bake for 35 minutes covered and then another 12-15 minutes uncovered until golden brown 10. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes if you can resist cutting into it.

I am missing the meeting again today, I have been aware that I MISS being in the meeting. I have had this difficult task, and today I am going to do something really big. We can do hard things! This might be the end of something - or it might be the beginning of something worse - but it is happening instead of spinning in one spot so its good. I look forward to next weeks call.

For fun, let's continue onto our recent calls. -What are the first 3 things that you notice about this card? -What does the number 9 energy bring up in your body ? -What does the Pentacles Suit symbolize or bring up for you? Anything else that comes up is welcome! Feel free to share, the more you share the move levels you get, which I'm going to start playing some games/giveaways around in the near future. See the link for the full details on the card after you've done your own ponderings. https://lightseerstarot.com/light-seers-tarot-meanings-9-of-pentacles/
