On my word I have fallen in love. She takes a playful exercise and secretly drops a truth bomb of presence right in there. Because folks that is what love and great lovers demand. Deeelightful.

Just happened upon this. It wasn’t what I was looking for but it helped just the same. Being present is very important. Thanks for the reminder. I will use it today.

This is so true and yet not spoken about much. Thank you.

I tried this once on a boyfriend and chocolate pudding. He enjoyed it. Not so much me because I got it on my clothing. Still, great idea. I eat an orange for breakfast everyday. The darn juice squirts everywhere: on my phone, my face, my glasses...how did she do it so neatly? I guess you can't take me anywhere. LOL 😂
