When I close my eyes and dream of the perfect holiday season, a lot comes to mind: family, connection, a sense of belonging, smiles, laughter, conversation, and time spent together. What DOESN’T come to mind? Fudge. Cookies. Eggnog. Extra helpings of turkey with stuffing. Port wine cheese balls. These are the ‘cravings’ that I associate with holidays, yet they aren’t even on my Christmas wish! Often, the things we mindlessly reach for first are only a symbol associated with what we really want. Beneath the surface cravings which are so often destructive to health, lie the true needs for deeper, more satisfying soul-nourishment. When we reach for what will truly nourish us, health is bolstered rather than destroyed. Listen to the deeper needs this season. Indulge the cravings of the heart! What fills those is nourishment we never regret indulging in!
