My one over productive 5 senses

Today I start a weight loss journey.  Of all my 5 senses, my taste has been way over stimulated in recent days.  My theory is to use my other 4 senses... touch, smell, see, and hear in abundance.  I anticipate life filled with even more beauty as I break this chain of obsession to food.  When I am so hungry the one thing that has helped in the past has been to remember that "I just need to fill my stomache and the pain of hunger will disipate."  Once it is satisfied, my desire to self sabotage with bad food is a distant desire.  I Know I can do this, I am strong and capable.  My goal is to create a new way of thinking about food, just a catalyst to give me energy and strength rather than a destiny.  Good Luck to everyone on there own journey to Peace.  This is a piece to my puzzle that allows other beautiful and wonderful things into my life.  I know my spirit is dependent upon it.  I am not talking about having a beautifully honed body, but to create space in my life for my spirit to soar!

The joys of Fall Gardening...

Fall gardening hardly gets the recognition it deserves.  To me this is the greatest season to garden, no bugs, a greater variety of veggies that my family enjoys and it's not so darn hot.  Try these little garden gems: All Kinds of lettuces, butter head, red leaf, romaine.  Swiss chard (which is a personal favorite and better than spinach), spinach, snap peas, radishes, artichokes, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and root veggies like carrots and beets.  Give fall gardening a whirl, you may find it to be your favorite as well.
