A note about Encouragement what it means to give and also to need a little extra these days, in this Brief Episode I wanted to share a word or two about what Encouragement can do for the Heart and How I pray For every ounce of it that you put out there it’s returned to you (and yours) ten fold in the most rewarding of ways

Happy Friday my friends I sure hope this warm wish Comes to you ahead of the weekend with my very many Thanks for your response to this weeks’ episode, it’s been truly surprising and I feel has given me more of a license to speak on things other than just food, which I Have always done on social media, but Never knew You’d all be so generous to Hear my thoughts aside from my culinary work, Thank You, Have a Great And Richly Blessed Weekend My Friends

I felt Inspired to share something from the Heart, which was also in part inspired when A Friend and Fellow Podcaster Of Mine Shared their views on current events, and with everyone talking about their Perspectives, I thought I’d throw my ol’ cowboy hat into the ring, not to pick sides, not to say anybody was right or wrong, because That’s not what I do, I’m not even pretending to speak for any one team or the other, but only for “Team You”, and “Team America” with a Look beyond The Hot button issue of the moment and Trying to Do my Best At Helping Ya’ll see past the Headlines, and preserve something you can look back and be proud of, I never imagined I’d Be talking about “Current Events” But they affect us all, I have seen such Heartbreaking things these last couple of weeks from truly incredible people, I want to Help others see the world through the positive prism I’m appreciated by others for…. Resist the push and pull of the moment, as we have to wonder in the busy, fast paced world we live in, how many distractions we’re supposed to be Asked to care about in the moment, this is a lesson in how worthwhile it is Not to be reactive, but proactive, and always Returning to What matters most, Kindness and Love of one another

I felt it was important to Be your friendly guide through difficult times with a different perspective and how to Spot things that go beyond the Headlines, and are designed to Divide and Conquer Society even More, because at the end of the day, it’s not about the Topics of those Headlines themselves that are really what matter, it’s all just clickbait hoping to stir up an emotional response, Especially when There are so many things That deserve your attention, Like Faith, Family, Friends, and Realizing what we do, what we say, and how we react is more important to How we’re remembered than the handful of people reading a post in the Heat of the Moment, Besides, for a long time, sides have been picked and most “Friends Groups” are simply just echo chambers anywhere where You’re already speaking to a choir who largely agrees with you anyway, This episode isn’t about picking a side, You’ll notice I don’t throughout the entire show, What I do Give you are the tools you’ll need to see through what’s being said, and How to Respond better than you might have before by letting others who can’t control themselves Be the ones out there writing things they may not be so proud of later, enjoy!!!!

In this episode, I talk About the way every single thing we care to produce has choices and consequences behind it and Give my very best advice for Having a Greater time in the kitchen, First, don’t be afraid to ask for a community of ideas from those you’ll serve and understand before you begin that everyone is so vastly different, this is the stark difference between two things, Being set up for an enjoyable time for you, every bit as much as you’ll want your guests to have, and a time of stressful chaos in the kitchen, You’ll also Learn the difference between being set up for a complete success or failure, I try to tell You ways To incorporate My tried and true techniques with a few chef Dan Top Tips in there…. (I asked myself “the first 3 things that came to Mind People use or make aside from the main presentations and how I could Help you with them, I figure we use a lot of Foil, a lot of Parchment, and Make a lot of pie crusts, I can’t wait until you Hear some of my tips using each of these that will change the way they perform for you for good) ….as well as Some Reasons why I’m Always looking at my food with a sense of wonder and discovery, I always say “When I play with My Food, People look at me strange, when I play with theirs, they pay me well for it!!!!” ….Enjoy!!!!
