This is my spiritual practice. To believe that it’s ok to use to my voice. To share when I’m upset. To make a request. To ask for something more. To vocalize hurt. To communicate my fears and my doubts. To ask. To require. To stand up. To be heard. It is safe to use my voice. Safe to have feelings. Safe to have needs. Safe to share when something is not ok. Safe to change my mind. Y’all this is still hard for me. Really hard. Most times I’m crying and trembling. Afraid I will upset someone. Or disappoint them. Or worse make them leave. Trying to make everyone happy and not rock the boat so that everyone gets the gift of avoiding the discomfort. But ultimately that doesn’t serve anyone. Especially not me. It just encourages numbing. Coping. Stuffing. Silencing. And surviving. None of which lead to a full beautiful honest life. Yes. To be fully alive requires I find my voice. Even if it’s shaking. And use it.
Happy Father’s Day to the most incredible man that I know. When I think about what you went through to provide for our family of 7, I am humbled. The sweat. The tears. The fears. The hopes. The dreams. The failures. The starting overs. You are truly a self made success and I’ve been lucky enough to have a front row seat. You had every reason to give up and quit multiple times over but seeing your desire to create excellence, inspire people and continue to believe in abundance on every level allowed you to create a life that few people have. Dad you are an inspiration. And I deeply desire to become 1/2 the person you are. You are on of the hardest working people I know who always seeks to better the lives of those around you. You’ve always remained humble and relatable no matter how big you’ve become. Leading with love. Being the example. Going first. And challenging us all to become our best. I love you so much. Thank you for demonstrating what a man of integrity looks like. Who loves his family well. For listening to me cry and pour out my heart over and over again. Thank you for reminding me of my worth and my loveability. I am forever grateful that you are my father! Happy Father’s Day Dad!
There was a time I wouldn’t have enjoyed this. Panicked I might gain weight on vacation. Fearing all my “cheating” would show when I got home. Avoiding desserts. Passing on the cheese. And trying to be “good” with my eating. But so much has changed. I love that I get to enjoy tasting these delicacies from the market now. Snacking on olives, cheese, chocolate truffles and oysters. Intuitive eating has given me the freedom to enjoy food. To delight in it. To savor and experience pleasure. Without the fear of being naughty. True guiltless enjoyment. I don’t even have to go crazy and eat as much as I can because I’m afraid the next diet is around the corner. No, this is a lifestyle. To enjoy all the foods. Without limitation. And simply listen to my body and what it wants and needs. Eating when I’m hungry. Stopping when I’m full. Tasting every bite with delight. And honoring the needs of my body. It made for a scrumptious trip to the East London Broadway Market today.
