I had lunch today with my adult daughter. The soups were served and her hands laid out palms open and she closed her eyes. As a Mom to know my children have learned lessons in how to slow down before they eat means a world of happiness to me.
Julie you did amazing work leading by example! Thanks for sharing that. I can see her doing it as well as sense the deep pride you have in her and the rest of your children.
The loyalty test is the part that surprised me too when I first saw it. We're so good at showing up for everyone else and then wonder why we're exhausted by 3pm. Thanks for reading, Luna.
And when we’re in it, we grind or we zone out. It keeps us “safe” while busy or choosing “self care.” Hope that makes sense. Thanks for reading, Denise.
Ahhh! 😌 This is such a great post! I’m nodding and having ahas all over the place.
The takeaways I’m getting from this is that especially what you eat and more importantly HOW you eat it.. makes for the majority of your ability to function. Physically and mentally.. dare I say spiritually too? As in you do not have a direct line to sprit if you are not sure of your purpose.
Yes, it’s beyond macros and completely wholistic, working on all levels. This isn’t about food, it’s working on a deeper level of who we are (through what we already have to do—eat), opening up the pathway for the real work. I’m glad you loved this piece!

I love how you reframed lunch as a loyalty test. I can relate. Thanks.

The idea that fog can be protection makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing.

🙏 thank you so much for this message! It resonates with me and I just had an eye opening experience. Ah!
Your words ring very true.
Lack of time is not the problem. Lack of discipline is.
Love this
