Hi friends! Before I dig into today’s issue, I want to give a little bonus advice up front. Some backstory: I’ve mentioned before that I have started making various bean dishes every Sunday and that I post the process to my Instagram stories. Folks who watch my stories are very aware of “Sunday Bean Day.” It is not sponsored. It is not fancy. I just like to post content of what I’m cooking as a nice, little, low-stakes interruption to the onslaught of ads and memes. About 3 or 4 weeks ago, I skipped Sunday Bean Day and someone messaged me that they didn’t know if I was going to make beans that day but I inspired them to take the time and make their own pot of beans. I cannot adequately express how happy this made me. For someone to reach out and say that I have inspired them to do something that forced them to be present and to slow down has just had me on cloud nine for weeks now.
