Today i made lunch for myself... this time, with love and care. Normally, i throw stuff together and i don't enjoy the process of making food for myself. it's usually a rushed thing where i get so anxious around the food that my heart starts racing and i can hardly sit down because i'm standing up eating along the way and then i have a challenging time deciding when is the "appropriate" time to stop.
Today was different. I added one extra ingredient - "Love." It made it taste sooo much better. I've heard it said before, "Always make food with love." and honestly, i never really knew what that felt like before. My mind has been so conditioned (from modeling days) that food is bad. It was never treated as a nurturing way of taking care of myself but rather a way to beat and sabotage myself for F E E L I N G.
My goodness - How askew!!! I'm so happy that i took the time to blog about this. I see that i am developing and integrating a more peaceful, loving relationship with food...
and Remember: Don't forget the Love!

That's so beautiful Heather. It is such a difference to add love. In the yogic tradition people chant mantra while they prepare the food to remind them that it is from God.
I also have the idea sometimes that food is bad! Crazy right. Very inspiring.
