This week my daughter sent me something of interest. It was a flyer entitled, What Is Diet Culture? It defined diet culture as “a society that focuses on and values weight, shape, and size over health and well-being.” Then they gave six examples.

This morning the trainer said, “Your thoughts contain energy – you get energy from your thoughts.” I readily agreed with that.

I spent 23 years teaching Kindergarteners to read. When they formed that letter A for the first time, they had no idea it made a sound or could be used to form words.
