Low fat, fat free, decaf, low sodium, sugar free…we’ve taken most of the yummy ingredients out of our food and as a result we’ve lost some of the enjoyment of eating in my opinion.  This loss seems to be reflected in our lives as well – we’ve taken out the delicious parts because we don’t have time or energy to get all the “have tos” done never mind fitting in activities that we enjoy.

Do you find yourself racing from one thing to the next on your to do list?  Have you had the feeling like you are perpetually behind and will never catch up, never mind get ahead of the game!  I know I have found myself in this place more than once until one day it occurred to me that there had to be a better way to live.  Surely I wasn’t here just to exist , plow through the day and fall into bed exhausted only to get up and repeat the same pattern the next day, and the next day and the next day…

I remember very clearly thinking that I needed to make a change, that I needed to do something that had more meaning and joy. As I looked around the environment where I was working I knew that I had an uphill climb ahead of me!  I started with where I was and what I already had available to me and gradually, I was able to shift the to do list to something a lot more inspiring. 

Are you ready for a change?  I think it’s time to put joy back in the mix, it’s time for life to get yummy and delicious again.  What are you doing to make your life yummy?  Post your comments here so we can get a conversation of joy started! 

Joyfully,

Deb
