so i've committed to a 'vegan' lifestyle...i really don't want to adopt the title:'vegan', because, i have not decided whether or not i will eat seafood on occasions (but is seafood considered meat, hmmmmm?). i do commit to no meat and dairy though.
here's a definition from one of my fav websites, http://www.dictionary.com/:
Main Entry: veg·an
Pronunciation: 'vE-g&n; 'vej-&n, -"an Function: noun: a strict vegetarian : one that consumes no animal food or dairy products —veg·an·ism /'vE-g&-"niz-&m, 'vej-&-/ noun
i digress.
back to the point of this post. as i commit to this no meat, no dairy lifestyle, i have acquired a fond taste for tofu. tofu is made of soybeans. the soybean is so diverse, it can be made into a variety of things. namely, tofu.
unprepared, tofu is tasteless and has different textures.
tofu tastes like whatever you season it with and however it is prepared....firm, soft, cheesy, soupy.your choice.
one weekend, i had several tofu dishes: mongolian tofu, fried tofu and even a cupcake which had tofu as an ingredient!
at the close of the weekend, i got into one of my 'musing' states. as i began to muse, my new natural lifestyle was my focal point. i thought about all the delectable tofu foods i consumed over the weekend.
Ah Ha! "Life is like tofu",i exclaimed!
tofu tastes like what ever you chose to marinate or season it with, and i can apply the same concept to life!
our lives virtually become whatever we want! if we season our lives with positivity and hope, we get abundance, peace and blessings. if we use marinades of negativity and doubt, we get defeat,complacency and lack. this concept is reality!
just today, my mind began to wander.
i was overwhelmed with some not so tasty thoughts. this became bothersome to me. so i had to stop and refocus. i took a small sticky pad and began to jot down the flavors that i wanted in my life at that moment. after scribbling my desired recipe, i meditated over the list for a few minutes. as i transitioned from my meditative state, my spirit was wonderfully seasoned with peace.
instantaneously, GOD gave me the peace and positivity that i was seeking! it remained with me the entire day!
GOD is so awesome!
life is a divinely delicious dish, if you chose to season it that way!
