I am lucky enough to come from a family that places a lot of value on happiness and individual choice. Walk into a room with my family and you will see a G.E.D. conversing with a Ph. D. and no one is uncomfortable or feels any less of a person for it. I know what feeds my soul and lights me up from the inside out. Here are 27 things that I consider to be my soul food.
- Having dinner with my husband.
- My dogs and how happy they are to live with us. Farm dogs have it made.
- Planting things and watching them grow.
- Reading books that are in line with my goals.
- Writing about things I believe in.
- Spending time with my extended family.
- Watching my horses run up from the field when I whistle.
- Cooking really good food from scratch.
- The whir of my sewing machine.
- Crossing things off my to do list.
- Running with my Girls on the Run girls.
- The smiles of my students.
- Sore muscles after a good workout.
- Music.
- Yoga.
- The smiles of all the babies and toddlers in my life.
- Days with warm sunshine.
- A hot bowl of soup on a cold day.
- Going to bed at night totally prepared for the next day.
- Making plans for the farm.
- Sharing what we have with friends.
- Learning something new.
- Doing something nice for someone else.
- Spending time with the horses on the farm.
- The smell of rosemary.
- Working on projects with my husband.
- Laughter shared with family and friends.
Feeding the soul is every bit as important as feeding the mind and body. What are you doing today to feed yours?
