Mindful Monday

Today would have been my grandmother’s 93rd birthday, and I always try to honor her on this day. She was very instrumental in my life, and one of the main reasons I pursued culinary arts. This year, I’m going to celebrate her by celebrating myself. I have been in a better mindset and taking my health journey seriously. Being more active has been so life changing, one day I thought that she would be proud of me.

When I was a kid, she used to always tell me to take care of the body I have because you only get one. As I’ve gotten older, I understand what that means. I want to be here as long as possible, but I want to be functioning and capable to take care of myself. I can only do that if I take care of my health and body. Today I honor her by honoring myself. Nothing fussy or dramatic, just to the point and directly. Just like her.

I miss you grandma!
