Living holistically, is living whole. Living with purpose and heart. The view of the world we cultivate for ourselves emerges from the thoughts we carry and the words we speak. Our bodies are the vessels within which we transport all the elements that make us us. The hope is that all of what is the best in us attracts the same and we then are surrounded by all that is good for us.

Somehow, though, in life there can be a disconnect between this and what we experience or are subjected to in our life. I think it may come about due to the perceptions of other. This is what they carry within themselves and project onto others. This is where you must sustain yourself with the strength and peace within not to absorb what is not yours to absorb. Deflect my friend, the toxicity that tried to erode your sense of peace. If you have the strength and bravery, send back love to extinguish this. If you give the same back, it will hurt you more than it hurts them. Be well. Eat well. Live well.
