Unexpected...

Predictability. We love it, crave it, need it. Yessiree Bob. We want to know what is going to happen, when, where, why and how. 

As the years roll on, I'm learning to see more value in the unexpected to add color, zest, and joy to our lives. With 4 kids and too many animals to count, our family has lots of practice in expecting the unexpected!

The other day, for example, I woke up to find the new puppy, Louie, in the living room surrounded by taco shells.
Kid you not. 
Unexpected...funny...It inspired me to lock down the taco shells a little tighter. 


The very same morning, I saw a woman* running backwards, fast, up a super hilly road.
Unexpected...a head-scratcher...intriguing. I needed more info from her. I really wanted to stop her, but I restrained myself. 
*This is not her but rather a stock photo. It would have been WAY too creepy for me to capture the image.

One more. I'm on a roll.
​
The other evening when picking my son up from cross country, I entered the busy parking lot, careful not to bump into the numerous popsicle-eating athletes, when lo and behold, smack in the middle of everything was a beautiful young woman* wearing an enormously hooped ball gown a la Scarlett O'Hara. 
Unexpected...startling...mesmerizing. I blinked a few times, saw her photographer and the glorious Kansas sunset, and imagined how stunning her photos would be.
*Again, a stock photo for the same reason as #2 above but the dress was eerily similar. 

Like these little surprises, but on a much bigger scale, Salsa Mama's recent growth is
unexpected...delightful...a huge blessing.
As I stood at the Lenexa Farmer's Market last Saturday and looked around, I just couldn't help but smile. The market organizers (Jenny, Brenda and Connie) have been SO helpful. My hubby and I (and kids!) are enjoying this adventure together. The fellow vendors have been warm and welcoming. We are excited to see where this adventure leads! It wouldn't be possible without the years of loyalty from the original Salsa Mama family.
​THANK YOU from ALL of us!! We are so grateful.
