So my days go between creating comfort and cultivating healing. Mother's day is upon us, and my mother in law loves bacon! So last night I fixed up a very fattening, not at all "healthy," but completely yummy array of biscuits, bacon, and bacon grease gravy.
It was utterly
delicious and completely soul healing!
Sometimes food
is to heal the body; sometimes food is to comfort the soul. And sometimes what
is considered comfort food becomes a whole body cleansing because of its soul
comfort.
Of course we don't
eat greasy food all the time. And honestly, after my plate of bacon palooza, I
fixed me a green smoothie and cuddled myself in bed to read about creating
medicinal herb tinctures.
I think that is
the beautiful balance that mothers crave to create. The spoiling and the
accountability. The counsel and the comfort. The all out fun and teaching
responsibility.
This is the
woman I try and be. Because cheer and kindness are the best medicines!
Happy Mommy's
Day to moms of human kids, animal kids, and plant kids. Exude comfort and
playful joy!!! ~ Bonnie
