2010: Transformation...Expanding what "Delicious Living" Means

Transformation

Expanding what "Delicious Living" Means

I began this Creative Project a year ago in hopes of expressing my interests in health and well-being and finding others who held similar values... hoping that our interests would intersect at various points, and we would open up discussion.

So much has transpired in my own life (let alone the world at large) over the past year that the same definition I applied to Delicious Living last year can no longer apply. Call me jaded, dark, or melancholic, it seems as though my view back then was a bit naive to say the least. The Universe has given me a reality check and life is not always "sugar and spice nice". HOWEVER, it has been during some of the roughest patches in my life that I find the most personal and soul growth...how can that not be DELICIOUS?!

With the current positions of Pluto in Capricorn squaring Saturn in Libra the whole world is being taught to RE-evaluate how they RE-late to certain areas of their life (depending on how these planets aspect each individual's natal charts). RE-defined structures need to be placed in order for us to advance in this Pluto/Saturn RE-ality check. A Total Transformation of our "Rules of Conduct" we lived by need a sincere overhaul. Old ways of relating to life and people simply won't work! Period.

And so...I came to understand...that my way of communicating to you, whoever that may be, needs to Transform as well...and that my way of relating to "Delicious" needed to be redefined as well.

In the past year (and it still continues) I have been stripped of a lot of personal armor I wore to protect my feelings. I've been stripped of lies and false hopes. I have been stripped of the familiar and comfortable way of doing life. I now stand more naked looking at life (my life) from an altered perspective. I feel almost as the image above...a woman standing naked, meditating on her Delicious apple. It is only now, a year later, I can stand more comfortably in my own nakedness, more free to BE ME...knowing a bit more what that feels like to Be "me". "Me" doesn't always HAVE TO BE "nice". I have come to find being "real" is far more "Delicious" and Fulfilling than placating others.

And so...on that note...the expanded definition of "Delicious Living" has evolved into not just doing xyz in life to find temporary happiness BUT in BEING one's naked & stripped SELF in order to find sustained joy and fulfillment.

Let's all have a Naked, Mindful, & Honestly Delicious 2010!

Bon Appetit`

Pain throws your heart to the ground

Love turns the whole thing around

Fear is a Friend who's misunderstood

But I know the Heart of Life is good

I know it's good
