Family Fresh Cooking is meant to inspire a lifestyle. My mission is for my family to stay fit and strong both mentally and physically. Daily we have multiple opportunities to decide what food to eat. Certain foods make us feel great, while others destroy our moods and energy levels. Whole food ingredients and mindful eating behaviors allow us to live healthy, happy lives. The most important thing is to never feel deprived, as food is one of life’s greatest pleasures.
I love this – this is Marla Meridith’s mission – and mine too (thanks for writing it so well Marla! ha ha) – I could really relate to this, and the recipes on her site look delicious and healthy. I also love the tag on her blog – ‘delicious whole food recipes to inspire healthy lives’. I’m feeling inspired – thought I would share it with you today!
So, Emma sent me a song the other day and told me that “she found it” – Good job Emma! It is good, I hope you enjoy it. I really want Emma to send me “her song” so I can share it on here (yes she wrote a song for the piano, and I love it, and she is still a bit nervous to share it, but it is a wonderful song). . . . . I am waiting patiently for that day to come. . . it will I think . . . in time. . . .
until then, Enjoy Emma’s pick
And of course, as I listened to the lyrics, I realized, that I could relate to this song – initially I did not think I would relate to this song, as I have never seen myself as “sensitive”, but I think more than being sensitive, this song is about learning to feel the feelings. . . .
My journey has been. . . quite the journey, with my weight loss, and more recently my surgery . . . .I am still trying to get my body and my soul and my spirit to be “in alignment”. Not sure if that makes any sense to you, but I am still fighting the good fight. And I will leave it at that. . . here are the lyrics – I like to know what I am listening to. . . now you can too! The bold stuff – I really could relate to, the more I listen to this song, the more I can find that I relate it all! crazy..
Alex Goot – Sensitivity Lyrics
(ft. Andrew Goldstein)
(ft. Andrew Goldstein)
I don’t even know the real me anymore
I can’t even show how I feel
I hit the floor
I’m talking rock bottom
My feelings I fought ‘em
I can’t believe it’s come to this
Cause I need a grip on reality
I can’t even show how I feel
I hit the floor
I’m talking rock bottom
My feelings I fought ‘em
I can’t believe it’s come to this
Cause I need a grip on reality
Now I wanna feel some sensitivity
I’m here, I’m telling you I
I’m here, I’m telling you I
Cleared my life
I changed my head
Trying to catch my skin again
I’m finding out what makes me wanna live
By living it up again
It’s my world
I paved my way
Found my sensitivity
I stepped back from the edge
Now I’m living it up again
I changed my head
Trying to catch my skin again
I’m finding out what makes me wanna live
By living it up again
It’s my world
I paved my way
Found my sensitivity
I stepped back from the edge
Now I’m living it up again
I’ve been doing fine in my misery
Not crazy
I told them not to worry about me
Not crazy
I told them not to worry about me
But everytime I wanna feel some sensitivity
I’m here, I’m telling you I
I’m here, I’m telling you I
Cleared my life
I changed my head
Trying to catch my skin again
I’m finding out what makes me wanna live
By living it up again
It’s my world
I paved my way
Found my sensitivity
I stepped back from the edge
Now I’m living it up again
I changed my head
Trying to catch my skin again
I’m finding out what makes me wanna live
By living it up again
It’s my world
I paved my way
Found my sensitivity
I stepped back from the edge
Now I’m living it up again
Living it up again
Living it up again
Living it up now I’m not crazy I’m just sensitive
I stepped back from the edge
Living it up again
Living it up now I’m not crazy I’m just sensitive
I stepped back from the edge
I cleared my life
I changed my head
Trying to catch my skin again
I’m finding out what makes me wanna live
By living it up again
It’s my world
I paved my way
Found my sensitivity
I stepped back from the edge
Now I’m living it up again
I changed my head
Trying to catch my skin again
I’m finding out what makes me wanna live
By living it up again
It’s my world
I paved my way
Found my sensitivity
I stepped back from the edge
Now I’m living it up again
Living it up again
I’m living it up again
Living it up now I’m not crazy I’m just sensitive
Living it up again
I’m living it up again
Living it up now I’m not crazy I’m just sensitive
I’m living it up again
Living it up now I’m not crazy I’m just sensitive
Living it up again
I’m living it up again
Living it up now I’m not crazy I’m just sensitive
You are right on that we need not feel deprived. I have finally found the balance I think I need when it comes to food but each day is still a struggle of choices. That's what this whole life is about though, what choices am I going to make today and I have to live with the consequences no matter if they are what food to eat or something with much greater consequence. Love the post.
OHHH love this song, I am perpetually fascinated at how hard it is to make the right food choices, don't get me wrong I am making good ones but….. My head knows that it will never be easy, but right now I am just simple astonished at how hard it is. It always helps me bring it back to the gospel perspective if I can remember that making good food choices is pleasing to my Heavenly Father and it is what he would like me to do, it seems to make it easier.
