I think a lot of chefs are starting to utilize more vegetables- focusing on main dishes that don’t feature animal proteins. It’s good for the environment and it’s good that they are opening their eyes to different ways of composing a plate. At the same time, there is a burger battle going on. I see lots of chefs trying to recreate the classic burger. A few years ago, burgers were about adding short rib and truffles. Now, chefs are trying to make a simple burger focusing on the bun, meat, cheese and sauce.

A vision board is a powerful tool utilizing the law of attraction. It is a board you create that displays images that represent what you want to be, do, or have in your life. A sort of collage in a way, but they are more goal specific. You can also do boards which focus on how you want to feel. The limited space of a board helps you focus on the specific goals or things you want to manifest in your life. You can have multiple boards on different things at one time. With my boys, I’ll grab a small poster board, some magazines, and glue. They are powerful because when you place it in a space where you will see it throughout the day, you are essentially doing visualization exercises each time you look at it. When you visualize, you emit a powerful frequency to the universe, your brain also trains your body for those goals to become your reality.

A company will come to us and tell us the feelings and emotions they're trying to evoke in their environment. A hospital emergency room is an easy example where they want people to be calm - so we would pump calming scents like vanilla and lavender. We ask a company about the type of music that they will play in the environment, the colors and the design of the space - is it traditional or modern, are there a lot of earth tones and things of that nature. And then, we will custom make a fragrance based on the information that they give us.

One of the things that’s so great about the market is the lessons our kids learn. At the market, our kids learn what it means to eat by seasons. Today in the grocery store, with food coming from everywhere, we somehow forget that apples are not in season all year long. For our older kids, that have been dying for the LNB guacamole, we have had to explain to them that Irma stripped off the avocados from your trees and really affected your yield. Understanding this helps them think broader about global warming and climate change and how that affects farmers and other people besides themselves.

It's a tough journey, but consistency is key. Just like in life, you go through a lot of up and downs, but people who stay consistent will eventually make it through.
