Saturday September 14th - Bluebird Market Vibez!

We went to market!

Pretty cool. We set up shop at the Bluebird Garage food and goods market in Muizenberg.

It was a little quiet, probably due to the cold, but it was an awesome vibe. Live music, wine tasting, great food. I'm definitely going to take the girlfriend! :)

It was impressive how well we set up on such short notice. The past experiences of having done two cake sales on campus, and then doing our official launch in August has definitely prepared us as a team and individuals to mentally map out how our stall needs to operate.

It's amazing to see my team implement these past learning experiences so smoothly and have a great time doing it. There was even some discussion of nominations for the personal development award...

A team member told me about their witnessing of my development over the year and surprised me with the observations they had made. It seems like it's impossible to see your own development while you're still in it, and it's far easier for others to reflect back your progress. And even then, I think it will only truly be appreciated when the experience is over and it can be looked at from a distance.

I'll be honest, it's been a hard couple of last weeks. The emotional sentiment hasn't been at an all time high. But yet I'm surprised to still find myself pleasantly surprised by the bounce back attitude of my team.

Oh, and one last thing... Happy Rosh Hashana! May it be a sweet new year!
