Finding Moderation
The Church offers us guidance for what to eat and what to abstain from during the fast, but does not give much guidance in the way of exactly how much to eat. Today, I am hoping to suggest that, when keeping the proper spirit of the fast, the wisdom of how much we need is already within us.

Lunch Hour Power
I too frequently eat alone on my lunch hour. I took your advice of inviting a 'spiritual' partner to my workspace for lunch and have found that beading while eating forces me to slow down and find some peace of mind at work. I feel more energized in the afternoon as a result...and not to mention have some great accessories to go with my outfits. Truly inspriational Rita!!!! Keep up the good work.
