I have to come clean with you. I struggle with food.
In 2015, I went a full year without running any of the Joyfully Living programs. Instead, I hosted two summits – the Healthy Family Revolution in the Spring and the Food-Body-Spirit Connection in the late Fall.
The summits were a blast – an experience I would not trade. Yet, it was a very stressful time in work life and personal life.
There were business challenges, relationship challenges, financial challenges, a move and a few losses, including the passing of my spiritual teacher, who was like a father to me for the past 18 years.
I’ll spare you any more details. The point I want to make is that life can bring us challenges that test our boundaries and bring about opportunities for deeper healing of our core life lessons.
In a recent email, a friend who I deeply respect, Karen Curry Parker, referred to these recurring opportunities as “Same Devil, New Level.” Well put.
Though I certainly have lines I don’t cross when it comes to food consumption, I’m not perfect, however one might define perfect, and I’m grateful for raw cacao powder, a healthy form of chocolate. 🙂
Over this past year I got to explore even more deeply the roles that food can play in our human attempts to cope with the journey called life, and the gifts the food-body-spirit relationship can bring when we commit to maintain a self-care practice that honors the spirit.
This year, 2016, has seen a major turn upward in all areas. I am grateful for the ease as well as the gifts I received from the 2015 package.
We’re now preparing for the 2nd Food-Body-Spirit Journey program of this year. In fact, a group who signed up early has already been meeting for a special pre-event class called the Deep Dive! This is going to be one beautiful and powerful program! I feel excited and blessed!
This program offers you insights and support
- To know yourself deeply so you can use your struggles with food as a pathway for spiritual transformation and growth.
- To fulfill your heart’s deepest desire to return to know its truth – its origin of unconditional love – through compassion, acceptance and love for yourself.
- To disarm the subconscious saboteur that keeps you from realizing the success you want in your battle with food and your desire to respect and honor your body.
- To know that there is a way to find peace inside your own skin – to feel at peace and at home in your own body, to love and accept yourself and to know the beauty of your soul in physical form.
A participant from the previous class recently wrote:
“If you don’t mind me saying, this class reminds me of having my daughter. I knew it was going to be a big change but couldn’t believe it until I experienced it. Food is so often in the land of the subconscious. Bringing food into my awareness at such a strong level is much deeper than I could have believed.”
Another wrote:
“I have done the rigid diet, learned all the food stuff, etc., but I’ve never been able to go this deep in healing my food stuff. It’s so very easy to trust you and be led by you and surrender to the process. I love your down-to-earthness, too. It’s allowed me to go so much deeper in regards to healing my past and my female ancestral line issues. I’m so very glad to have found you.”
The battle with food has been one of the strongest catalysts for spiritual transformation in my life. I’ve walked it, studied it, been guided through it by my spiritual teacher, and put my heart on the floor before God to be healed.
Now I’m reaching my hand through the door to help you. I have many gifts to share, and I know we can do this together.
The next Food-Body-Spirit Journey starts March 31st.
You can find out more about it here.
Here’s my invitation to you now. Whether you join the program or not, I’d be honored to chat with you to help you determine your next step on your personal path along the food-body-spirit journey.

You have only one body for this journey. Its physical health is important for more than just physical reasons.
Your body is the vehicle through which you experience life, the messenger that navigates your earth journey, the partner that provides your soul’s opportunities for evolution while you are still in physical form.
The Food-Body-Spirit Journey will teach you how to make the most of your soul’s travels to fulfill its purpose, to realize deeper connections, to experience more peace and freedom in your heart, your soul and your life.
You are invited to join us. Click here to schedule a chat, or click here to register for the program. Just don’t stay stuck.
Blessings and Gratitude,
Debra
