Are you smiling? I love this photo by Andre Gardella of a curious goat in Corsica. Hellooo!
I’m smiling. I’m one week in on continuous abstinence. Hooray! I feel so much better. Clean. Confident.
Three times a day, even when it’s a little bit of a challenge, I weigh and measure and eat the food I’ve committed and nothing more and nothing less and nothing in between.
My actions are matching my intentions. I can trust myself. I’m in Recovery.
What do I do about wedding cake, I ask? That’s for further meditation and a conversation for me and my sponsor on Monday. A previous sponsor told me that on Pesach I would have a piece of matzoh the size of an olive. It would be taken with special consideration for its meaning. Could I do that with a bite of cake?
If I take the bite, it will be as a symbol of the sweetness of our relationship past and future.
If I don’t take the bite, it will be to honor my own spiritual practice — abstinence from intoxication by carrot cake.
Perhaps Gregory and I can share a sweet, delicious strawberry.
More shall be revealed.
Love & Light,
Valerie

Hi Louise! Whatcha doin up so late? I’m psyched to see you soon. L&L, Valerie
Noel and I shared grapes. My sister kept saying “you have to have a cupcake for your wedding (and photos)!” but grapes are clean, fresh, sweet and oh so delicious! And delightfully photogenic.
You’ll be a beautiful bride!
