For decades, my hometown seemed to be a "wink wink" community - lots of talk about welcoming others, but typically said with an invisible wink of an eye, since it wasn't really true. Well, am happy to say that today it is VERY true, it fully completely enthusiastically welcomes others.
Been wondering about my own life, my own existence, and realizing it's been very wink wink, sadly wink wink. My experience has been of setting an essential goal, but with a wink wink attitude. The goal was set, without intention of follow through. Complete the goal? Seriously??
The roots of such foolishness will never fully dawn on me, but foolish it certainly is. And it feels downright wonderful challenging dangerous to find myself with a goal that matters to me & the determination to utterly completely totally shelve the wink wink foolishness.
My doctor told me that if I don't have health care coverage & can't afford to get it, then I absolutely positively no-excuses must follow the RAVE lifestyle*. Forever. "E" stands for NO exceptions. No gluten. No dairy. No processed soy products. No sugar. No animal products. No oil (!). No caffeine. Lots of vegetables. Lots of whole grains.
Alas, I believe him. Which leaves me either following what I believe in my bones to be true, or reverting to foolish wink wink ways.
An interesting place to be. Puts me on par with a grannie client who also faces accepting the challenge of an extreme makeover - and a happier life - or staying with the familiar, the comfy. Do I embody my talk, or not?
Don't you hate it when the questions are so simple & the answers are so unimaginably challenging!
