Once In A Lifetime

And you may ask yourself…
Well…How did I get here?
(Once In A Lifetime-Talking Heads)

So many meanings, so many memories to this song…and, yet so much meaning for this little market.

Today’s song comes from a good friend of mine who lives way too far from me, in Maryland. She is the kind of friend that has a very dry wit, a very unique way of looking at things, a very polished music background, and we could actually go head to head in making conversations with just song lyrics.

Anyway…we had a few little quips on my personal Facebook page, today, it resulted in me quoting this song, we laughed, and then I knew it would be a perfect Sunday song for me to write about…

Talking Heads…a very specific group in a very specific time frame of my life. College, pre-college, underground clubs, lots of Talking Heads. This song was a song that I used in my everyday soundtrack that ran through my brain, back then.

Once In A Lifetime. I used the thought, I embraced it as a way of life, I decided that each and every moment should always be looked at as a “once in a lifetime” kind of moment.

And…to this day, I still have that thought on constant replay. I feel that people, places, things, times…they are all there, happening at just the right time, or coming on the scene right when you need it, or something exploding in awesome proportions, just at the right time. Once in a lifetime series of moments.

We all need those moments. We all want to experience a once in a lifetime moment. We know it when it happens. We know it when we have worked and worked and worked at something, it finally all comes together, it’s a success, and you step back and think…yes, once in a lifetime.

As you know, my love and passion for this market runs deep. People now stop me to talk about this market, this weblog, my passion for it all…my excitement for it all. This market is rockin’ and rollin’ and it continues to climb the charts. It’s that once in a lifetime moment when the customers, the vendors, the managers, the hosts from the Y, have all been cosmically charged to make this whole thing happen. To watch it skyrocket. To experience something so unbelievable on a local level…once in a lifetime.

Today is Sunday…the market is groovin’ right along. Make sure to take some time out of your day, look through the market, make your selections, get all of your shopping done for the week, and then join the party that Thursday evenings have become, when you pick up your orders!!

How easy, how simple, how healthy, how local….it all comes together…once in a lifetime.

Peace and Love,
