HI GUYS! The juice looks amazing and vibrant - gotta love that beet juice color!! So great seeing familiar faces (Lorraine and Cynthia - so awesome to see you both and Cynthia what an awesome shot - can really feel your energy coming through in this pic!)

Recently I felt pulled to get my teeth straightened out...had upper braces years ago but that left the top out of alignment with the bottom...for whatever reason it felt like the time to go and get it all aligned top and bottom =)...so today I had these tray inserts put on my teeth...(different than traditional braces...you can pop them off and on and they fit to your teeth shape). This is bringing up a lot for me around control with food. Having this contraption in my mouth brings up a bit of panic inside like there is something stuck in my mouth and then there is this feeling like I can't eat whenever I want (I can if I take them out, eat, brush my teeth, clean the trays and put them back on!). I feel like I have to wait to eat and have to eat on a schedule...it actually hurts inside....and it is connected to a sense of panic about not knowing when I may eat again. I see how food takes up a lot of space for me.. I am able to just be with the feeling of that without reacting and everytime it arises there is a melting into the sensation and letting it sort of dissolve. Lots going on here but that's enough to share =). What an opportunity!! Gotta love it!! =)

Thanks for keeping all your internationally located Openhand family in the loop.

Much love to you all!!
