After a while of being married, I found it easier to cook and eat whatever he ate because he dIdn’t like the smell of fish, broccoli, garlic, etc. He’s all beef & potatoes, bread, pretzels & ice cream. I’m still married, but to heck with that. I’m getting back to what I love—cooking and creating interesting meals, if only for myself. Tomorrow, in this frigid weather, homemade broccoli cheese soup for lunch and on Tuesday, shrimp scampi with a salad for dinner. I cook what he likes, too, and add vegetables. He doesn’t eat vegetables. I like Oreos dunked in whole milk, and ice cream, too, but not every day. Might sound ordinary to some people, but for me it’s breaking the rules. I am happier. My clothes are more comfortable, too. I am thinking about a few more rules I can break.
About a year ago I added full fat dairy to my diet ignoring all the ADVICE out there because I listened to my soul and my body thanked me. You wrote about advice, “It makes us dependent on someone else’s map when our own compass is trying to speak.”
It’s true about small and big things and that’s “holy” and holy cow!
I get that. I had to build trust that I would hear my soul. If interested I have a resource just for this conundrum. Shoot me a dm either your email. I send it to you.
Yes, thanks for sharing this Monica. I resonate with this and I also resonate with other creatives so I find it interesting because we are all a part of the whole and yet people have their own people they feel comfortable with. So, I just want to thank you for your writing and article. I hope you have an enjoyable day!
Thank you. Really glad the post connected with you. Isn’t it amazing how words strung together in like minded energy helps us connect with one another?

I’ll add: holy cow-wow!
I am a carnivore!
I have top and bottom canines and have “ancient” DNA. It is best to eat what your ancestors ate.
German and Lithuanian = meat, potatoes and cabbage!
I don't trust that I will hear my soul.

This got my attention. I don't know what it means to me yet, but it resonated with me. Thank you, Monica.
Super glad it connected with you. I find - for myself - sitting with new information or reframing of information I already knew is empowering.
