this newsletter features mind and soul food --- bon appetit!

Defining Soul Food:

Soul food is defined as food that we feel in our souls. Usually associated with southern food, I encourage you to expand your open-mindedness towards letting yourself enjoy new things even when they're unfamiliar.

Soul food is worth waiting for, and worth going out to find.

The only way to know, is to try. Indulge your curiosity. Even when it doesn't work out, it already did!!

How to Eat Good and Feel Good

The amount of unnecessary stress associated with food in today's society is enough to make the conversation taboo all together. Here's how you find a love of food.

Quit making it so that you have so many other feelings to consider when you're having a meal.

Enjoy the meal for what it's giving you, tune into your sense.

I cannot advocate a food journal enough. When you know how food makes you feel, you give yourself the chance to fill your life (and your stomach,) with more of what you love.

This Week's Favs:

milkshakes -

My relationship with the humble milkshake has always been up and down, a love hate rollercoaster depending on how it makes me feel.

Today milkshakes came through, it might not in the future but it deserves to be honored for the happiness it gave me.

Honoring your food is honoring yourself!!!

Got me thinking:

We hear all this talk about your body being your temple. That makes the assumption that someone knows what it means to honor themselves. To look at themselves with love and compassion and pride. The conversation starts in the heart not while looking in the mirror. There's a reason people can go years without looking in the mirror.

To them; please listen to me. You have no moral flaw by not loving everything you see in the mirror. Your complex feelings on your self should not be based on what the mirror is telling you.

Truly love to see it:
