Welcome to The Noble Path Foundation

Mangos, pomegranates, kiwis, dragon fruit, papayas, peaches, grapes, plumcots, pear apples, pineapples… no fruit was safe from our cutting boards on Total Health Tuesday!

Our crew was on the receiving end of some expert advice from Executive Pastry Chef Rebekah Eastman (more on our new volunteer coming up) on how to cut and prepare those juicy summer fruits! We made a Peach and Blackberry Crisp and homemade acai bowls topped with the fruits of our labors! 😆

We offer cooking classes the last Tuesday of every month as part of our Total Health Tuesday series. Everything is free and we supply all the good eats. The only thing you have to bring is a good attitude! 😉 ...

In a world full of Yeah Yeahs and Squints, be a Benny. 🫶🏽

If you want good people, you make’em good.

It’ll always be easy to sit back and criticize the people who are different from us. Those who don’t know the rules or expectations of our particular communities or groups.

Sometimes, our desire for belonging looks like us excluding the people who don’t have the right ability, the right ideas, the right skills, skin color, sexual orientation, or economic position.

Maybe we do this, because excluding them costs us almost nothing and creates a superficial sense of exclusivity, a value around admittance to the tribe. While helping them on the other hand, requires an investment.

We all want to belong, to find that someone might see us, remember our name, believe in our potential, and give us a chance before we’re rejected.

Too often however, we limit the size of our tribe, perhaps because we find belonging a zero-sum game. But It’s not. Like love, when new people are welcomed in, it doesn’t shrink in proportion to each new addition but expands and includes. Just ask any parent with more than one child.

Resilient communities, strong families, deep friendships, and loving partnerships aren’t built by magically finding good people. They’re built by making them. Both yourself and the other… gently and lovingly teaching, guiding, and supporting. They’re built by patient people who encourage instead of critique, invite instead of exclude, and teach instead of judge.

The reality is, we are always empowered to offer people a place to be, and if we’re already on the inside… if we know the way… then part of our responsibility is to light the path for those to come, for those who wish to be with us. In my mind, everyone is invited… I feel like that seems obvious., mostly because the good that we are, and the good we can do, is often the result of someone deciding at some point in our very own lives… that we were worth investing in, we were worth including. I say we do the same.
