The message the other day in these beautiful leaves scattered about, as if by hand, was on the gifts provided in letting go. I stopped dead in my tracks at the gorgeous play on pattern, texture, and color. First gift…
When my own inner fire isn’t consistently tended to, I feel bored, heavy, uninspired, and unworthy. On the flip-side, when I was overworked and under nurtured I burned too hot and suffered burnout. It took me the last 3-5 years to recover my health and other areas of life.
With the current world turmoil and pain it seems strange to be writing about investing in learning the language of your heart and investing in YOU. But that’s the message that keeps banging on my metaphorical intuitive door to be shared…
This week’s message was very clear, regardless of what could happen, enjoy the good in your life, trust it, and let it grow!
Have you ever left a day at the office and thought, huh, why did I respond that way in that meeting? Or why do I keep doing these things I promise myself not to?

Affirmations seem hokey, right?

Food has so much power over our lives. It can be a way we disconnect from or connect to ourselves, our emotions, our community. We can use it to abuse or nurture ourselves.
