AND SO IT GOES ... The start of yet another school year. The circle seems to rotate more quickly each year. Have we become the old folks warning the youngsters that it goes by too fast? It appears so.
We both love and loathe these ritualistic markers - they can provide a comfort in their cadence, but they can also provide a reminder of what you've accomplished (or not yet started) since the last time we crossed this particular threshold. This is especially true for us this year, since we created a lot of new features and design updates in the first half of the year, and are in the throes of rolling out some new ones...but they're just not quite ready yet. It would be convenient if every calendar milestone lined up neatly with our own to-do lists...
But since they don't, we're focusing on this 'school year' (whether you happen to be in school or not), as an opportunity to set some goals that we hope will come to fruition by this time next year. If you feel inspired to do the same, remember this week's words of wisdom - to move a mountain start by carrying away a few stones. It may not happen overnight, but then again, a whole year sometimes seems to go by in the blink of a good night's sleep.
Your companions,
Taylor & Dorothy
Co-Founders, Good Food Jobs

details / The #gogastrognomes journey is our biggest and best instagram contest yet. For the past four years, the gastrognomes have been profiling inspiring and unlikely food professionals on our blog. Although the blog has been an integral part of connecting the Good Food Jobs community, the gnomes are always struggling with the question of how to connect to more people, both in person all around the world. As we all know, it’s easy to get stuck behind a computer screen... So the gnomes have decided its time to head out on the open road to meet the people that have contributed to the blog, and hopefully see some new, inspiring people and places. And they need your help to get there. Click here to learn more.
Last week the gnomes made it to Oregon, Ecuador, and upstate New York. Keep your eyes peeled - or be a part of - where they wind up next!
And if you're looking for inspiration, check out our recently uploaded gnome Bucket List. They are looking for food adventures all over this great nation.
prize / A first, second and third prize will be given out based on creativity, effort, artistry and crowd response. To learn more, visit goodfoodjobs.com/gnomes.
deadline / TBD. The contest will be ongoing through the Fall, so keep your eyes peeled for gnomes and join the fun!
