Greetings my Sister

I'm looking out my living room window at fresh snow while I sip tea. I've been up for a few hours and getting it in on administrative tasks for my businesses. But I've hit a slight wall. My apartment is warm. I have food and drinks. But, I feel like I could be even. more productive if I head to my favorite coffee shop to get another couple of hours of work done. But instead of looking at the snow - I would have to get out in it. But here's the thing. I've been working in coffee shops forever - before it became a huge thing. Why do I seem to study better, get more work done - even as there's hustle and bustle around me and a chorus of voices sometimes oversharing. I think its the feeling of being in Community. In my apartment I'm isolated with myself and then there's all the things staring at me (pile of clothes), dishes to be washed - the usual suspects trying to get my attention. Seems we humans tend to be more productive when we are in Community. So let me bundle up, call a Lyft and head out. I also have a client I need to see so I'll call her and ask if she would like to join me at In Harmony Cafe and Sweets. I can win my day and participate in a circular economy (pretty sure I'm buying something) that helps my dollars to circulate in my Community a little before it heads to the broader "economy". If you are out and about - stop by (google it) I can take a break and we can chop it up for a few.

An exciting new study is promoting a traditional African diet as good as or better than the Mediterranean Diet. The finds: Up to 6 times the amount of fiber by consuming a mostly plant based diet. Lower levels of blood sugar spikes because grains like millet and sorghum are low glycemic. Boosted immune system and reduction in inflammation because of the daily consumption of fermented foods. Sadly as traditional cultural norms and food ways are hijacked by Western diet and lifestyle, dis-eases such as diabetes, hypertension and other chronic problems are on the rise. The upcoming Kwanzaa holiday is a good time to lean into traditional foods.
