			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">Writing Career Coach Teresa LeYung-Ryan Loves Stories About Words</p>
<p>Tuesday night, my sister and I dined at Squat &amp; Gobble Cafe &amp; Crepery before going to my gig with fellow <a href="http://wnba-sfchapter.org/" target="_blank">Women&#8217;s National Book Association</a> member <a href="http://todrinkthewildair.com/" target="_blank">Birgit Soyka</a> at <a href="http://bookshopwestportal.com/" target="_blank">BookShop West Portal</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Teresa-and-Maria-at-Squat-Gobble-West-Portal.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2724" title="author Teresa LeYung-Ryan and her sister at Squat &amp; Gobble West Portal San Francisco" src="http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Teresa-and-Maria-at-Squat-Gobble-West-Portal-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>At first I thought the eatery was called Squab &amp; Gobble, but, the name is Squat &amp; Gobble. Why &#8220;Squat&#8221; ?  Chickens squat. People squat.  Squatting is done with the lower half of our body. Why &#8220;Gobble&#8221; ? Gobbling is done with our mouths.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the lore behind the phrase squat and gobble?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a story about the Chinese word for &#8220;heart&#8221;:   The word &#8220;heart&#8221; is inside the words &#8220;grace,&#8221; &#8220;forgiveness,&#8221; &#8220;perseverance,&#8221; &#8220;compassion.&#8221; The word &#8220;heart&#8221; is inside the word &#8220;love&#8221; thus <a href="http://lovemadeofheart.com/" target="_blank">love made of heart</a>.</p>
<p>What was our gig? <a href="http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/how-do-authors-teresa-leyung-ryan-and-birgit-soyka-celebrate-rebuild-your-life-month-in-june/" target="_blank">http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/how-do-authors-teresa-leyung-ryan-and-birgit-soyka-celebrate-rebuild-your-life-month-in-june/</a></p>
