Nourishment Beyond the Plate

It is understood that physical food nourishes your body. Because we are more than just our bodies, we have a mind and a soul, those aspects need nourishment as well. Nourishment beyond the plate refers to sustenance for these other parts - mind and soul.

I find it fascinating that physical food can nourish all of who we are. Have you ever had a hearty soup on a cold day that soothed your soul as well as filled your belly? Perhaps it was your grandmother’s recipe and your memories with her fed you emotionally by strengthening the bond between you; It's one of your comfort foods. What is being comforted?

There are many other forms of nourishment, tailored to just to you. Some people are spiritually fed when hiking in the forest, watching a sunset, reading or hearing something inspiring. I love those things too, and one of my favorites is LAUGHING!. I love to laugh.

My intention is for you to be nourished here, in all ways.
