Hello Rosie and Robert......and little Pekins ~
Congratulations on your awards at the recent ceremony and, in spite of what we may think is authenticity in this realm, for many people newly engaging with these activities, it is the start of their journey. 'The longest journey starts with the first step' and this situation reminds me of watching any one of my five sons learning to walk.
Those first steps are wobbly, tenuous, unsteady and unsure.....it is only through repeatedly practicing those steps that confidence is gained.....a knowing that what they are doing over and over and over and over again is taking them into new places which reveal new opportunities for learning and knowing and this process is repeated ad nauseum.........as we continue to do through life except we've replaced learning to walk with a host of other [usually emotional and mental] activities.
Food Connect is a mentor. From the beginning, you have been different and being different usually attracts attention - not always positive but, I maintain there is only one thing worse than being talked about and that is NOT being talked about!! Being a mentor is about being available and, via the actions of eating, you are mentoring and inspiring thousands of people to take personal responsibility for their lives and the impacts their decisions have on their own health, the health of our landscapes and the ultimate future of our precious planet.
Be assured that in your own unique and special ways, you are making a profound difference to how the world can function and all cheers to you...........together, in our own wonderful and effective ways, we can make even small dents in the Coles and Woolworths of this world - and don't we love doing that!!
Best wishes, cheers and feastings to you and Food Connect,
