"Learning to treat life like making a good sandwich. Thoughtfully."-Reggie Lopez

Welcome! My name is Reggie Lopez and I’m the creator behind A Thought Full Sandwich.

What is A Thought Full Sandwich?

A Thought Full Sandwich was born out of a passion for food, faith, and life. Where might you know me from? Probably nowhere. I'm not a New York Times Bestseller nor am I a rising chef star. I'm just a whisper in a vast ocean of voices looking to share with as many people as possible that life is not a meaningless string of events to allow to just pass us by. On the contrary, as people created in the image/likeness of an intentional God, we have this aching desire to strive towards purpose. However, we live in a time of procrastination, superficiality, distraction, and perhaps worse of all; carelessness.

I like to take this profound concept called life and compare it to something a bit more digestible(quite literally): sandwiches.

I put it this way in my first post:

Picture it: slapping sloppily together a slice of ham and a processed cheese single between two slices of white bread without an ounce of intention in it.

How on God’s good green Earth is a sandwich related to this vast thing we call life, you ask? Hear me out. While this fast paced sandwich making method has proven to be “effective” in the past for many to get by and more importantly get through, I would argue that this has turned our approach to life into just that: a thoughtless, rushed excuse for a sandwich. We settle for the quick-fix that will seemingly have the semblance of completion but lack the depth of fulfillment.

Check out the rest of the analogy here.

What am I signing up for?

I want to pursue life like the making of a good sandwich. Thoughtfully. And I would love for you to come along for the journey in this great pursuit. I hope that in this newsletter you’ll find value, skills, inspiration, challenges, and purpose to craft yourself A Thought Full Sandwich.

In this newsletter, I plan to write a smörgåsbord of chewable thoughts on topics ranging from:

  • God

  • Faith

  • Food

  • Lifestyle

  • Productivity

  • Lessons I’ve learned

  • & more!

I also plan on curating a weekly collection of articles, Bible verses, photos, videos, podcasts, music, quotes, recipes, and whatever other interesting discoveries I stumble upon during the week.

My goal for ATFS is to publish twice a week on Mondays(Weekly Post) and Fridays(Weekly Curation).

This newsletter is free! I'm not sure what the future holds but this is a platform that will potentially allow for the opportunity to launch paid subscriptions. I've already got a few ideas of what paid-subscriber exclusive content could entail. But one step at a time. Right now my main focus for this is to provide as much FREE value that I can to you. However, I commit to always providing high-quality free content. What I would greatly appreciate more than money is your support, participation, and subscription to the newsletter so that I can continue ATFS. Thank you!

If this was semi-interesting and peaked your mind’s taste buds:

Also, feel free to share: it’s $free. ninety-nine!
