Slow down and play more!
I can relate to feeling playful during this exercise. It was fun and gave me permission to let go. Also, love the line about the “cherry-flavored cherry” My heart breaks thinking about all of the amazing uneaten food that tastes so much better than its attempted replacements that do get eaten. I had a date for the first time just a couple of years ago and was blown away! And I’m sure there are many many more delicacies that deserve my attention.
