FRESH FOOD FOR BODY AND MIND

I recently returned from a two week trip to Italy. It was amazing in so many ways! The rolling green hills in Siena and Montepulciano were breathtaking. The people were warm and unhurried.  I had the best meal of MY LIFE at a ristorante in Montepulciano called Le Logge Del Vignola.

All the food I ate was SO FRESH! The bread and pasta did not make me bloated, the cheeses were mellow and comforting, the flavors and food combinations brought me joy.

I do a weekly F-Word Friday on my youTube Channel (F words that inspire) and while I was in Italy, one F Word I presented was FRESH.  The freshness of the food made me feel clean and clear. I was reminded that  not only is it imperative to feed our bodies fresh food, but our minds as well. I had been serving up myself some old tapes in my head (stagnant thoughts) about all my shortcomings. Italy's fresh food reminded me to feed my mind fresh thoughts. So instead of berating myself with old thought patterns like "I'm so out of shape", or "I'm so fat", I fed my brain fresh food that nourished me. For example: "I hiked 12 miles today - I'm awesome!"  "I am so blessed to be experiencing this beautiful country with two of my friends".  "How exciting to be exploring a new country and culture".  Fresh thoughts like that nourish me, it changes my state and how I look at things, it brings gratitude, appreciation and love. It builds me up and fortifies my being. As a woman thinketh, so is she.

We are what we eat and what we think. I invite you to feed yourself fresh food at every meal, and fresh thoughts that fortify your mind, body and spirit.
