After working through this issue using the tools we have at our fingertips, I felt healed from my negative feelings. I shared with my friend and accountability partner Deanna Lewis that I felt like I had been washed on an old fashioned wash board, put through a wringer and now I have been hung up on a wash line to hang in the healing light of the SON!

Although these may all be wonderful blessings, who has time to focus on 0 to 5 or be mindful about eating? (If we are honest, we […]
These are a few of the things that participants have shared in our Hunger Within Study Class. I only displayed their initials so that they can identify one another, but anyone outside the class is unable to. We had a very blessed time together and many of us will rejoin in the Fall to […]
Poem Written by Debbie Grulke, Hunger Within Participant I’m Just Food I’m just food, what do you want from me? I can never comfort or begin to set free. I’m not you friend and I can’t be your lover; I can’t break your heart or help you recover. I’m just food created to nourish, to […]
