Savor


Musing…      
" The root of the word savor is the same as the root of wisdom.  I have been reminded again and again to slow down and linger over these incredible moments I have been given. To savor life's moments.” –– Christine Valters Paintner, PhD, REACE 

Kate’s Turn:     
Autumn offers us a harvest to savor. A trip to the orchard demonstrates this bounty in apple-laden trees, bending to the ground. No effort needed – sweetness at our fingertips, more than enough for all. Processing them into applesauce gives an extended savoring throughout the year. 

We, too, are suffused with that same life force energy and contain the capacity for generating abundant fruit for others in all the ways that our creative nature manifests. There is more than enough; we are enough. Mindfulness savoring, breathing deeply into our Being, nourishes and sustains us as we participate in this infinite cycle of receiving and giving. Cultivating my own sweetness becomes the fruit for others.

“Each of us has a particular kind of heavy sweetness to give to the world. The kind that overflows naturally when we experience ourselves as nourished.” –– Christine Valters Paintner, PhD, REACE

Get Fired Up:
Reflect on your own heavy sweetness that you give to the world as you indulge and savor the abundance all about you. I am grateful – I am abundant – I am enough.
