Friday Faves

Hello hello and happy Friday!

Thanks to a series of non-related, no-big-deal, going-about-our-business events, this has been one of the weirdest and fun weeks I’ve had in a long, long time. It’s so weird how things can seem to totally not be going right, then with one unanticipated turn, sky rocket into a great opportunity the next. Each of these happenstance events, the bad with the good, has proven again that if I live life with positivity, stop worrying, and go with the flow, fate will be on my side. Baby, just go with it!

I can be impulsive and when I know what I want, I can make decisions fast, and pull the trigger. It usually leaves others wondering where if my head is screwed on straight. Luckily, I have a partner who shares my passions and can be as nimble in his decisiveness and level of crazy as me. Sure, there have been disappointments along the way, but overall, going with our guts have worked for us every time.

What do you have going on in your life that you should stop worrying about, be more nimble in your route, and just go for? May I suggest you find it, and then, just do it.

Also, been adding more plants to our meals and subbed in this plant-based meat in my favorite burger recipe above and I gotta say, total win!

With that, let’s dig into this week’s Friday Faves.
