All in Feasting on Life
Gifts from my 2019 word Explore: presence, reach, savor, be still, breathe…
Savor each moment to the fullest. Even when that means we pick up the plate and lick up every last morsel. Turn the cup up and sip out every last drop of goodness. Care enough for those watching that this little act of vitality will encourage them to do the same! Let the candle wax drop onto the table. Linger.
Confession: I’m a leaner. Brady says I physically can’t take a picture without leaning=) So true. Now I’m trying to take that posture into the rest of my world…
Show up anyway; no plan needed. Simply come to the table.
I was recently able to bring sweet potatoes back into my diet. This isn’t really a recipe as much as encouragement to bless yourself with some sweet potato chips and yummy chimichurri dipping sauce.
I truly believe we encourage each other the most when we are authentically ourselves and simply show up. Nothing more, nothing less.
Roasting veggies, hands down, are my favorite way to eat them. ALL of them. I was tossing these green beans in some coconut oil before they went in the oven and I was struck with their beautiful green color.
Hi there! So this will be my first completely transparent post. A new uncharted ground for me but one I know I need to stand on; journey on. Anyone that knows me, knows I love the table. I love what it represents. I love to gather people around it. To ‘break bread’ together is truly sacred and is one of my greatest treasures. So I’m about to ramble on about my health journey but if you want the cliffsnotes version, it’s this dear one: we ALL have our quirkiness, you are not alone, you are invited, wanted and accepted at the table; no matter what. Just show up.
Give yourself...grace, time, opportunities to swim, do-overs, the glad game...
Be it a relationship, a new learned skill or a new way of thinking, whatever it is, let’s treat it with intentionality to help it thrive. Maybe it’s not something new; it’s just something that has grown a little stagnant and needs some attention. As my wise, dear friend says, “Needs change over time.” Agreed. So let’s identify areas for growth and get back to life-breathing fundamentals. And enjoy the process.
May we genuinely share whatever knack or gift we have. As Shauna Niequist put it, “What God gave you is not for you; it’s for the world.”
Whether its an over-packed action list or over-run emotions, sometimes the best thing we can do is slow down. Even if it’s only a few tiny minutes, make the most of them by being fully present. Maybe we only get two things done out of our list of 10. That’s okay. Those two things will make us stronger. Allow us to really listen. Breathe.
