Put THAT in your bullet and blend it ...

I don’t like fruit. Heaven knows why this is ~ what’s not to like about fruit? Its sweet with pleasing textures and mouth tingling sensations that make the taste buds sing. And yet – eating fruit is a chore for me.

In fact, there are a lot of foods that I eat because of the health benefits they provide; yogurt and flaxseed come immediately to mind.

Imagine my glee when I discovered a kitchen gadget called Magic Bullet! With this wondrous, magical, sleek device – I can put a buffet of food items I’d rather avoid into a see-through container, wrap my hands around its neck – and watch the offensive morsels get pulverized and annihilated with just a little pressure from my upper body, wrists and hands. It’s exhilarating! In fact, there’s only one thing that tops this experience … and that’s the divine concoction that my food aversions transform into.

Honestly – it’s incredible. My hat is off to whomever invented the Fruit Smoothie … ingesting my vitamins and minerals has never been more wonderful! I like to imagine this delicious libation was birthed in the throes of somebody’s fridge-rage.

“Why doesn’t anyone eat this fruit before it goes bad? And look, the yogurt expires today! And why am I the ONLY one eating ground flaxseed? Do you people think money grows on trees? I’m so sick of wasting food like this …” And all amidst a mad flurry of smashing and splurting and squishing left-overs that went in with negativity and came out with more benefits than I care to list at this time.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a Magic Bullet for our pain? Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could take hurtful experiences, moments in time we wish we could take back, toxic people and other black energy – toss them into a see-through container and, with the slightest of pressure … watch them get pulverized and annihilated before our very eyes?

And wouldn’t it be great if this concoction transformed into something meaningful and beneficial with more benefits than you’d probably be able to list in one sitting?

Think back on a bad experience for which you are now grateful. Maybe because it taught you something. Maybe because it prepared you for someone. Maybe because it made space for a miracle that you would have missed otherwise. And celebrate your creative genius – your masterful ability to move through the pain or the hurt or the shame to create a grander version of the greatest vision you are right here, right now.

And know that no matter what faces you ~ you can be the space for it to exist and you can blend it into the cocktail that is your life - with meaning, and flavour and heart health.

You are the Magic Bullet .. and you are awesome!
