Have you been paying attention to the clues that keep calling you, that proverbial tap on the shoulder, the whisper of what you're truly interested in, or the flood of ideas of how you might serve?
If not, it's time.
One of my favorite pieces of inspiration is Vitality by Martha Graham:
There is a vitality, life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique.
And if you block it it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost.
The world will not have it.
It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable not how it compares with other expressions.
It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open... You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open.
If not now, when?
To a prosperous, successful, peaceful January. It's time.

Healthy Eating on a Budget By Whole Foods Market
Better choices don't have to bust your budget!
With just a little planning and parental ingenuity, you can balance wallet wisdom with nutrition know-how.
Savings Savvy Shopping
Many of our Whole Foods Market team members are also parents themselves. Here are a few of their best practices for budget-friendly shopping: 
- Make a weekly meal plan and let everyone in the house pick one meal. You'll be less likely to shop impulsively, and everyone will look forward to their night.
- When something we use a lot is on sale, I stock up big time. I know I'm paying the lowest price possible for the product, and we always have it on hand.
- Put your child in charge of looking through The Whole Deal®, tearing out coupons and handing them to the cashier.
5 Ways to Eat Better on a Budget
- Skip processed snacks. Prep raw veggies ahead and portion into reusable containers. Store in the front of the fridge, so they're easy to find when hunger strikes.
- Stretch the animal protein. Fill their plates mostly with healthy whole grains and vegetables, and about three ounces of meat, poultry or seafood.
- Buy some. Make some. Create quick home-cooked meals with a little help from our value-priced frozen entrees, veggies or appetizers.
- Give leftovers a new life. Transform meatloaf to sandwiches, chopped fresh veggies to roasted veggies and diced roasted chicken to burrito filling - just add beans!
- Batch and stash. Prepare a big batch of staple ingredients - lentils, whole grains or veggies - then incorporate them into various dishes during the week.
