Happiness
You don’t have to wait for happiness, because there’s no time but now to be happy. You don’t have to go somewhere else, because there no place but here to find it. You don’t have to do something else, because theres nothing more to it. You don’t have to get something else, because everything you already have is enough. You just have to be happy. -Karen Maezen Miller

Talking Bananas
Going through my purging basket, the photo of the bananas caught my eye as they “spoke” kind words such as “Be kind” “Smile” and a plethora of other positive sayings. I settled into my seat to learn just who this cafeteria manager was. Stacey Truman is a woman who had found her purpose in nourishing children physically and mentally. Truman patiently spends 45 minutes every morning writing messages of hope on each banana with a black marker. Truman genuinely cares and wants children to know they are loved. What I especially appreciate is that she does this without being directed or asked. I love how this grabbed social media’s attention, bringing in Dole fruit company (who delivered 540 bananas to the school — one for every student). Now kids who bring lunches from home are coming in with talking bananas from their parents. I really love that. Writing on a banana is such a simple thing, but it has an impact.
Prayer
Prayer, I have discovered, is less about what I say and more about what I hear. Susan Cosio
