Really? Could that be true?
I used to think that what I eat is noone’s business but mine … to a small degree that is true … I have the ultimate power of choice: My arm drives the fork …
AND!!! What if that isn’t fully true?? What if the food I choose to put in my mouth today impacts my ability to interact with you and do what it is I was born to do? How does that impact you? You won’t get the benefit of me being as well as I possibly can be because I just don’t feel good enough to live out my destiny today. In fact I don’t even feel good enough to care. It sounds a little extreme, maybe?
Maybe. Until you get that food stimulates chemical reactions in these bodies we live in …
When I eat certain things, I feel sluggish, depressed, anxious, foggy, apathetic. And when I am feeling those things, I am not nearly as passionate about life, in fact I am the opposite … heavy, weighted down , struggling to keep my focus, my physical balance, struggling to keep my mind off of the pain my body feels because of what I have chosen to allow my arm to drive via fork to my mouth … I carry that atmosphere with me. That is what the people around me tap into.
I love feeling authentically passionate, excited, juiced up about life! No so much a fan of the other states of being … I love knowing that the sense of passion with which I love to experience life can be as simple as what I choose to eat. So, will I go for the immediate sensation of pleasure that that tantalizing Chocolate Cake promises knowing that after the immediate sensation, for me there is pain, fogginess, apathy, OR will I choose to remain connected to my passion for the juice of life?
Which do you choose and why? Share in the comments below

Love this thought. Stewardship IS accountability. You know my motto…. “Get over yourself, this is bigger than you.”
Does that mean I need to go snack on an orange rather than a chocolate bar? Most likely ; )
Haha!!! Yes it is … all of it.:)
