Every day I am so grateful for everything in my life. I have a wonderful network of friends and family, an adoring husband, a beautiful home and community and I do work that I find incredibly meaningful.
Interestingly enough I am spending this Thanksgiving in an airport on my way to Bonn Germany to attend an International conference on sustainability in the organics industry. I must admit, I would rather be at home with a hot coco watching a movie with Andy or enjoying a feast with our friends. But it turns out that outside of the USA, this day is just a Thursday. So off I go.
With every experience there is an opportunity to learn. This trip will be an easy one for me to turn off my knowing brain and absorb information. Although I have been working in the field of sustainability - the topic is so broad that I always have something to learn. And specifically this trip is more about the principles and standards of organic. The momentum in this industry is incredible, as everyone working in it is already living their values and the passion and drive is front and center. There is never any "we can't or it won't work". It is about the HOW, WHEN, WHAT IF...
I am inspired constantly, so on this Thanksgiving day I am grateful also for the opportunity to continue to learn and be inspired.
Happy Thanksgiving all.
