Proof that inspiration can come from anywhere. This week's topic and question was inspired after hearing of a tradition that included topping graham crackers with butter. Yes, you read that correctly, and when asked where they learned that from, they responded that they’re just always grown up with it. 

Traditions, experiences, our stories, our thoughts, and beliefs are often passed down from anyone in our proximity of influence. This is also one of the primary reasons we suggest daily management of those very things. 

What are you passing down to those you influence? Confidence, or, unprocessed insecurities? Are we cultivating a culture of empowerment or one of overwhelm? 

Just like recipes, our patterns and habits, can also be transferred down through generations without much thought because it’s just ‘always been that way.’ 

And for some, that’s where the story started, and that's where the story stays. 

For others, awareness and the desire to change the narrative of, what “always has been” into “this is what we do now,” is why we look for the opportunities to share the nuggets that come FROM the experience instead of fixating on the experience itself. 

We can pass along our strength. 

We can pass along our resiliency. 

We can also pass along our favorite snack or dessert, because let’s be real, some of them are too good to let drift away.
