“Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos- the trees, the clouds, everything.” – Thich Nhat Hanh

The fundamental component to joy is gratitude. When we live in a place of gratitude we naturally make better choices for ourselves and our loved ones. Loving your body is more than a number on a scale or a waist size. True love is selfless and gratitude is a selfless act.

When we fully appreciate our bodies for what they allow us to do and to feel, when we are thankful for the opportunity to rise and greet a new day, when we look at ourselves in the mirror and see the miracle that is life – we are more inclined to feed ourselves that which nourishes and sustains us.

Here I share inspiring articles about food, recipes, feeding picky eaters, thoughts on health and wellness for your mind and body, and ideas to help you appreciate and value your health.
