Always Make Enough to Share
This illustration is part of my Collective Food Wisdom series, for which I asked people across different languages and cultures to share a nugget of food wisdom or advice they’ve received that they continue to carry with them in their kitchen, garden, or life.
This wisdom comes from Jedd, one of the best people I know. His connection to family is palpable, and I am honored that he passed his mother's advice onto us.
What is the most useful piece of food wisdom or advice you have ever received?
Jedd: Always make enough to share.
Who gave it to you?
Jedd: My Mom. She would say that no one should miss out and we should always share what we have.
How does it show up in your life?
Jedd: For me, I'm on the same page of sharing good things with others. We need more good things in this world to share.
Yes, we definitely need to share more good in the world. This rings especially true at this moment in history, when we all have access to the news of current events – both tragic and heartwarming – constantly at our fingertips.
