CHICKEN STOCK: DON'T BUY INTO EVERYTHING THAT IS FED TO YOU

Happy Friday, Fair Fittens.

I am keeping a close eye out on most of you and watching your progress as you share your journey with me as well. Today I want to talk about Food. Yes the good stuff. The things we eat, we ingest. That which is meant to nourish and replenish our selves is often the deliciously, disguised indulgences that would to do us in. Now as you may know, I am a vegetarian, going on roughly 2 years now. I made that choice not because I am an animal rights' activist or because I don't like meat. Meat was just not adhering to my Life's Philosophy at that time. You see, around two year ago, I started to think deeply about the phrase, "you are what you eat". I began to propose it as a literal statement. Since I had eaten chicken most of my life, was I a chicken? A bird I am not but colloquially speaking I did possess an abundant amount of fear and "Chicken" tendencies when it came to certain areas in my life. I grew up eating alot of pork (till I was 18)...and I was in fact a pig! I went through a long list of foods to see if I were like those foods until finally I was sick to my stomach.
So if I am what I eat, I decided that wanted to be alive, raw, growing, sprouting and colorful! If you can think of the food you put directly into your mouth as a direct reflection of yourself, your lifestyle and your health, it might help you lay off of the greasy cheeseburgers. Ask yourself, "Hmmm.. am I sweet? Juicy, red and nourishing like this strawberry? Or sweet, syrupy crusty, and fried like this doughnut?" Describe your food aesthetics to yourself and make sure it counts as you welcome this foreign object int your ecosystem, your body, your world.

As with everything, I am not jut talking about the physical material world. Conceptually, there are a lot of "fast food" vendors out there, positioned to lure your appetite for fulfillment and sell you a bunch of lies and junk. These things that you take into your eyes, your brain, your ears, your spirit, do they represent you and your future self? Because that who we work for, Fittins. Our future selves. STOP THESE FREE AGENTS AT THE DOOR!!! Be aware of things being positioned to enter into your realm and do a security check each and everytime. And if it doesn't make the cut, then you are better for it. Nourish your spirit. Feed your mind and Soul with the best. Become your own very picky eater when it comes to your digestion..
Be careful of what you ingest, my loves. Like I say about chicken stock, which hapandstancely creeps into so many prepared food dishes, "DON'T BUY INTO EVERYTHING THAT IS FED TO YOU".
WITH LOVE,

Lisa E.
