In my home, I along with my husband have spent countless hours, if not years, being interrupted or momentarily putting things and people on hold to go stir the pot. Being in the moment — mixing, stirring, and savoring with all my five senses, all of those juicy, aromatic ingredients in order to produce something scrumptiously delicious. And once that goulash is served, it's fully satiating, but keeps me going back for more.

My proverbial Stirring the Pot resonates with bringing together the many ideations and intuitions of mankind to serve up a bigger than life pot of ingenuity, innovation, happiness and joy. It's nourishment for the brain and soul to induce the production of the next batch of ingredients that will be stirred into the pot.

This issue is dedicated to some of my love ones whose creativity is one of the many spices on the rack.
