Hi all!

I'm back with some Yay! Naming this season in the moment, playing in the Yay, admitting likely to go back to other things like Changing Course. Especially since they're already recorded.

I'm calling this "The way of Yay" because it came to me a few days ago and it may just become the first book, hence, Chapter 1. This short-ish episode is about taking in the Yay, taking in the good, and lots of other ways to characterize that (and a lived example of the opposite).

It started because I wanted to animate the aftermath of a great conversation with Krista and get a baguette from tartine. Which will lead to future baked heaven from panorama baking company More learning and living about Taking in the good via Rick Hanson's Hardwiring Happiness and my friend Jess 

Having a Great Food truck Race moment with Nola Creations that turned out to be real. They won the Great Food Truck Race. Who knew? Me, apparently. https://nola-creations.com/ They're at Soma Streat food park today 9/22/2020.  Happy fall y'all!

Understanding more about the Mission neighborhood and how the name itself is fraught with conquering, colonialism, and white supremacy. Acknowledging the Native Americans and the indigenous land we are settlers of is one way to aware and repair, out loud.

(this is  a wikipedia excerpt) "Prior to the arrival of Spanish missionaries, the area which now includes the Mission District was inhabited by the Ohlone people who populated much of the San Francisco bay area. The Yelamu Indians inhabited the region for over 2,000 years. Spanish missionaries arrived in the area during the late 18th century. They found these people living in two villages on Mission Creek. It was here that a Spanish priest named Father Francisco Palóu founded Mission San Francisco de Asis on June 29, 1776. The Mission was moved from the shore of Laguna Dolores to its current location in 1783.[10] Franciscan friars are reported to have used Ohlone slave labor to complete the Mission in 1791.[11] This period marked the beginning of the end of the Yelamu culture. The Indian population at Mission Dolores dropped from 400 to 50 between 1833 and 1841."

I recommend "Starting out the day with a big cup of Yay" whatever time it is. NamasYay y'all!
