what do you consider to be your earthly foundations?
What, who is really supporting you financially, healthily?
What, who is really supporting you financially, healthily?
And what, who are you supporting? Healthily?

I think for me, yesterday was about food.
A long-time friend and I went out to eat and she paid for the meal. And we actually talked about the psychology of eating. Later, my husband and I together cooked a simple yet satisfactory meal. Later that evening, I tried to find something to satisfy that craving, that balance between sweet and salt.
And of course tried to answer that elusive question, am I really hungry? What void am I trying to fill with food?
When it comes to food, there is a balance. In fact, I think there may be a lot more going on than we allow ourselves to realize. Beyond the comfort food and the filling of the void. There are the nutrients, the vitamins, the load of salt and chemicals which we pop into our bodies without awareness.
Why do we have cravings? Why do we try for balance? Why does something taste good and help the happy feeling on one day, and doesn't on another? Am I eating to provide ourselves with energy, or for something else? Are my food choices to support mental health, physical health, or an addiction, possibly a habit?
And eating habits or physical attributes can be as touchy a subject as race or religion. "Are you calling me fat?" But, I am fat. Or am I chubby? Comfortable?
Which means, for me, all these adjectives are meaningless. What is my truth? What is important? What is the foundation of all this questioning and consuming?
Am I happy?
Does this food make me happy? Both when consuming, and hours later. And days later?
Does this food make me, and my body - my earthly foundation - happy?
Something for me to think about, to bring into awareness, every day.

Deep, deep down is the hope or fear that some genetic gift passed you by.
Stand tall. You are not your ancestors; your choices are your own.
And your today is your choice.
I hope you have a great day!
