The Heart of the Matter

I must admit...I’ve been slacking on my water intake and my complexion has suffered. I know that what we put into our bodies affects how we feel, how we think, how we look.  All this topical stuff is fun and I believe some of it works to an extent, but first we need to fix whatever’s going on INSIDE the body.  Increasing water intake, watching/reducing fats and carbs, and lots of colorful veggies.  And exercise, to force out impurities and get centered yet again.  I honestly believe those things result in clearer, firmer skin, and products like this are only a bonus. Whatever’s on the OUTSIDE isn’t gonna work until we are ready to remedy whatever is going on INSIDE, first.  Having said that, I must tell you that my new situation will allow me the resources to finally get my thyroid fixed, and I’m so THANKFUL.  But...I really need to work on my heart a bit more, as I believe this place in my chest is truly where my troubles originate from. The unfortunate truth is that there is no doctor for the spectrum of heart symptoms I’ve experienced these last several years.  I’m on my own for real with this one.  Lord, please be with me as I accept this steep challenge.

    My name is Elizabeth, and I come bearing gifts.  I have a story to tell, you see.  Several stories, really.  I joke that writing is cheaper than therapy, and it is true that writing has been life-changing for me in so many ways. 

    I want you to feel free to click the YouTube arrow to play the music while you're indulging yourself here.  Go ahead, put it on loop for the time it takes you to read the entire passage.  I promise, you won't be sorry.  Why, I listen on loop as I write these memories, these scenarios, these monumental lessons of my life.  You know, so I can feel the music inside of me.  It is my belief that we, all of us, have memories linked to the things we love most:  Beauty, Food, Scent, Touch, and Sound. 


    ​With this blog, it is my intention to honor those memories through the five senses.  We will explore together a little bit of art, food, smelly-goods, tactile pleasures, and melodies that take us allllll back, all the way back.  I invite you to come along for the drive, so to speak, because I have lots to talk about.  And of course, as someone who wants to be your friend, I want to know how you feel, too, because in kindergarten we learned that this is how a friendship works...give and take.  Are you with me?  

     Alrighty then.  Let's Do This!
