It's that time of year when everything we love is on offer in the realm of food and many items in that arena that don't love us! I adore dark chocolate and I have to admit rarely a day goes by that I don't eat some, for the antioxidant qualities you know!
I will admit also that its easy for me to put on a few pounds and find myself so unhappy about the way my jeans create that lovely muffin top look! Eek!
Well I have been working on bringing food into a new perspective and recently read Marianne Williamson's book "A Course in Weight Loss." It has helped me see not just food but my body in a new way.
Our bodies deserve our respect. In fact if we really think about it, our bodies deserve our reverence. Our bodies are miraculous machines that allow us the gift of living, doing the things we do daily, and supporting our experience of life. Walking in the nature, seeing our loved ones faces, hearing the birdsong, touching velvet or the hand of a lover, speaking words of love, thinking grand ideas, remembering wonderful moments, smelling the turkey baking in the oven, what joys our precious bodies give us.
Yet we don't often fully appreciate it. Instead we berate it, criticize it, and sometimes abuse it. And it is simply responding to how we have treated it and held it in our minds.
Its time to love the body you are in.
I invite you to listen to Marianne talk about this subject and this holiday season be kind to your body, it deserves your love. As much or more than any other body!

In and through all things Love is the message that Spirit would have us know; that we are loved, that we are love and that love is always the answer. Let the words you read here be a message for you today from the Universe that created you, perfect as you are.
