Several years ago I made it my quest to try and eat healthier. Oh I don't mean fanatically, but I decided to "go natural" as much as possible. The first thing I did was cut out soft drinks and drink water - lots of water! Next I cut down on the "white stuff" - white sugars, breads and foods high in those things. I lost twenty pounds in the process! Next I began to shop for "real food" - food that contained no preservatives or fillers etc. Then I cut out toxins that were harmful - foods containing gluten, corn syrup etc. Finally I opted fro non-GMO grown foods and finally organic. Fast foods were an occasional splurge but no longer a regular habit. It is amazing what I experienced as a result of this progression. My body knew the difference! Healthy food or "real food" as I like to call it, tasted SO much better! It was really like night and day. Now when I try to indulge in things containing a high sugar content, or even drink a soft drink, it just tastes way too sweet and I can't consume more than a bite or two or a sip or two as is the case. Anytime I get fast food or "comfort food," my body lets me know it wasn't the best decision the next day. I am bloated, lethargic and nauseous. I have an overall "yucky" feeling. So what about you? Can your tell a difference in the way you feel when you eat food not healthy as opposed to what is healthy?

Have something on your mind? Need to just "sit a spell" and chat? There's nothing like a "heart to heart" to make sense of life's complexities. We can laugh a little, cry when needed, think awhile about things, or simply refrain from thinking at all as we stop and smell the "magnolias!" Yes, that's this southern girl's favorite flower! So please share your thoughts and questions about life big or small!
