\n

It’s about 12:30 am and I’m writing…actually tapping…this spur of the moment post on my iPhone. My parents are asleep in my bedroom, and I am on the couch with Geneen Roth’s new book Women, Food and God along with a bag of Barbara’s Bakery chocolate chip animal cookies. So far, I’ve eaten a dozen and before I inhale the whole bag, I thought I’d try something new and tap blog instead of mindlessly eat away my feelings.<\/p>\n

The cookies are 100% natural and made with organic grains so they’re alright, no?<\/p>\n

My parents are flying back in the morning and I’ll miss them. I got to have a week of their undivided attention and they spoiled me rotten. I felt wanted.<\/p>\n

I’m also terribly missing someone…yes a guy. He’s not just any guy. He’s someone who takes my breath away. But, it’s complicated to use a Facebook choice. A crystal ball would be comforting to peek into perhaps. It’s a long story which is why right now cookies are love.<\/p>\n

It’s now closer to 1am and what I want are more animal crackers, but what I need is to feel like I’m that someone special. What I want is to cuddle and be wrapped in the arms and warmth of Mr. Breath Taker, but what I need is to feel that connection…that connection most people never get to experience but we did.<\/p>\n

But for now, right now in this present moment, I’ll be with my feelings and tap blog for you fine people. As I tap and share a part of my heart, I feel the urge for the sweetness of the chocolate chip animal cookies die down. Perhaps instead of cookies, I just needed to give that part of me the same undivided attention my parents gave me this week.<\/p>\n

I’m here for you body and heart. I’m going to fill you with attention and wisdom from Geneen instead of cookies…Yeah, we’re thinking that non-food indulgence will feel better.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want the cookies; I wanted the way being allowed to have them made me feel: welcomed, deserving, adored. \/via @GeneenRoth on Twitter.
