Words To Live By

Good Tuesday morning everyone!

This morning I'm going to share with you a wee bit about growing up in my family.

I come from a family of amazing southern cooks and from the time I could hold a spoon in my hand, I was being taught the family art of preparing food.  And like many families out there, all of our social events gathered around a table of food.  Lots and lots of food.  Birthdays...anniversaries...reunions...well, you get the idea.

So how am I going to break this cycle with me and my children?  By living by these nine words that I heard the other day:

Do not live to eat but eat to live.

A simple sentence but powerful.

Other simple sentences that pack a powerful punch:

I'm fat.
I'm ugly.
Nothing in my closet fits.
My body hurts.
No one understands.

Well, I understand.  Better simple sentences.

I care.
You are beautiful.
You matter.
You are appreciated.
You are loved.

Enjoy your Tuesday everyone!

All my love;
Annie
