Cordoba, Spain
I look at a photo I let it speak through me. So much memory in a single image. During this time I was obsessed with my liver. Someone told me that I had a liver problem. My body was healthy but I internalized her words. I get intuitive hits with my clients but I never tell them. We explore what they know to be true within their own intuition. You know what is best for you! Yes during this time I had a lot of anger and guilt. The cleansing my liver was a way for me to punish myself not care for myself. On this day Dani and his boyfriend Fran took me from the park where I was doing yoga, told me to put on a pretty dress and drove me to their friend’s family home in a little town in Cordoba. They fed me paella, liquor made from cherries and reminded me of the part of myself who enjoyed life. We picked bay leaves from this tree. In Spanish cooking they always put bay leaves in their lentils and any other legumes because it makes them easier to digest. Nobody wants extra gas. I love lentils, my body craves the iron and folic acid. It is also a very comforting food for me. It was one of the only things that I knew how to cook when I first moved to Spain. Many times I would burn it and my friends would eat it anyway pouring delicious olive oil on top. How do you love? Our hands are extensions of our hearts. I love through touch and cooking for people. Today I send you love, soak it in, allow it to go where it needs to. Love is abundant!
