Time for Grandpa’s Wisdom Wednesday!

(Yes, I know it’s Friday morning…Grandpa would just smile and say, “Some lessons show up when they’re ready!”) 😃

So, here’s the latest wisdom he’s sharing with Macie…

“Hey Little One, every stop on your journey is a chance to share a lesson and learn a new one.”

True story: I meant to post this on Wednesday… but while I was on the road prepping for my presentation at the 2025 Mobile Market Coalition Summit, I simply forgot to schedule it before I jumped on the train to Orlando. (Grandpa would probably remind me that good things are worth the wait — and to double-check your content posting checklist, son! 😅)

So, what does this week’s wisdom mean to me?

This week, I had the privilege to be surrounded by inspiring people and their organizations from around the country working to provide food access for everyone, everywhere.

It was an incredible experience, and I kept coming back to this thought through every conversation:

Every story shared…

Every idea exchanged…

Every connection has the power to spark a new possibility.

It’s all a chance to give what we know — and, just as importantly, to treasure what others have to teach us.

That spirit of sharing and learning is what inspired our newest adventure in the Macieverse:

✨ Macie and the Magic Mobile Market — where Macie sees a mysterious bus around her town and discovers that its real magic isn’t just in the fresh food it brings but in the community it builds along the way.

Whether on the farm, in the garden, or around the table… we all have something to share and something to learn. 💚

Let’s keep learning, contributing, and growing — one stop (and sometimes a few days late) at a time. 😉
