Your heart.

The very source of life, both physically and spiritually/emotionally.

We all know we have to protect it physically – aka, not inundating it with foods that clog the precious lifelines.

But how are we protecting it spiritually and emotionally?

Maybe we all need to go on a spiritual diet and rid ourselves of unhealthy forces – anxiety, empty relationships, thoughts of low self worth, comparison, negative images on TV,  etc.

After all, a happy heart leaves room for another apple & pear tart…
