Happy New Year! Welcome to a special edition of 3dacious, a bi-weekly compendium of the top 3 regional Foods I Forked, Cool Collaborations, and events I'm excited about, but will probably miss because I'm already snuggly in my recliner with a hot tea and a lapful of cats.
This week? My Best of 2018. The top three of everything. Television that filled my heart with hope and made me guffaw, food I inhaled like a ravenous bear, and the best of the best in this year's podcast conversations. Stories of triumph and survival. Stories that showed me the strength of the human spirit, stories that made me cry, stories of community, and just damn good stories. It was hard to pick only three from so many folks who took time out of their busy lives to share, but here they are. If you had to pick just three to represent a year of great development and change, both in my world and the world at large, this would be a pretty stellar start.
I rant about how well-meaning folks sometimes say stupid things, the importance of knowing your value even if your paycheck doesn't match it, and express wonder and gratitude about all the talent and magic happening in our amazing community. I hope wherever you are this holiday, that you're happy and well and understand that no matter what happens, everything will be okay. Because it will. Thank you to everyone courageous and gracious enough to share their stories and congratulations to all the winners. I'm so excited for what lies ahead. Because if 2018 was any indication, it's going to be tremendous. Be well. Do good. Big Love.
