New cubicle decoration

I saw this on LinkedIn this week.

It's now part of my cube decor. I have a feeling I will be tempted to point to it while dealing with some of our customers.

Coconut Shrimp with Mango Sauce

This recipe combines two of my favorite foods- shrimp and mango. I hadn't made it in a while, so yesterday I prepared it for lunch.

Doesn't it make you happy just looking at that? I served it over couscous, and it was fabulous. In addition to being tasty, the shrimp, coconut, and mango bring to mind a being on the beach somewhere tropical. Nothing wrong with that either.

The season of friendship

In my life I have had different occasions where I felt there was a theme of my life at that time. For example, when I left my last job it was the season of rest. I was worn out emotionally from the crazy that was that place. Currently I believe I am in the season of friendship, and that is very nice.

In the last couple of weeks I've
- had lunch with a friend I had seen in 6-7 years
- gotten back in touch with someone I hadn't heard from in probably a year
- met up with another friend I only get to see a few times/year

I am very fortunate to have great people in my life, and the opportunity to spend time with them.
