LOVE

But I LOVE food, I can't give up the things I LOVE, that would just be too restrictive!  Oh love, such a silly game we play, I mean do you hear yourself, you can actually see your eyes glazing over at the thought of those white chocolate mochas and classic coffee cake.  Do you ever notice that people claim to love many things, food, clothing, furniture, houses, restaurants, hair products, BLAH, BLAH, blah, blah, blah!  C'mon people why do you "love" these things, do they sustain you, do they shelter you, do they make you feel safe and secure, do they make you who you are? NO!  Because I bet if each one of you stripped away your nice houses, your fancy designer clothes, you got on sale by the way, your fav saturday night restaurant rituals, your no frizz hair mousse and of course your decadent food items you just had to have, you would find YOU, just you, and a very naked you by the by : D but none the less YOU, all that other stuff that you had to have, that you just couldn't live with out, that complete you, that you LOVE those aren't really you.

And so how much easier it is to give up these things that only really may be destroying you.  For some of you it may be food, it may be always having to have the newest and best clothing, or maybe you just have been trying to control your life so much to "appear" perfect to the outside world.  Whatever your vise may be you will soon see that once you strip all those things away they were never that important to begin with. In fact they are the very things that people noticed about you, they noticed the front you were putting up, that perfect life you are trying to portray, that addiction to fine foods and pastries, that need to compulsively shop.  To you and only you these things are your dirty little secrets, but to everyone else they can see what your trying to hide behind.

Ahhh yes they are the ugly truths that we must face while we're going down this road, not every pit stop is going to be a main attraction, but at least you get to pee.  What I'm trying to say is when your making changes about yourself, it isn't always pretty or comfortable but once you face those inner demons that have been whispering in your ear all these years trying to stop you from being the person you were made to be, once you do that, they will retreat they will start taking steps back and soon they will be non-existent because they never were a part of you in the first place.  I encourage all of you to face those things that have been holding you back and when you do don't stop, don't slow down, keep on going till your free, you'll be so happy when you do.  Well it is that time again to bid you all a farewell till tomorrow!

Warm Regards,
Candace
