The cycle of help is one that often alludes us. We know how to give help, but do we know the power of asking for help to transform our lives and others? I will share the research that went into my workbook as well as all that I have personally experienced by learning how to ask for help in a healthy and balanced way.

Reversing the Secularization of Eating
Six years ago after loosing over 200 pounds I made a commitment to say grace before every meal I had no matter where I was. I committed to never taking food for granted and always remembering the blessing food is in my life. After doing it with myself for a while I was drawn to ask others to join me as well, eventually it became a practice that others counted on me for.
Saying grace helps me remember the sacredness of the food, the hands that brought it to the table and the connection I have to God because of it.
When I am in public with others, be them friends or acquaintances, I ask if I may say grace. In the 5 years of asking, I have never found a person who said no. Most often the people say thank you for helping them remember to do it.
I am honored and privileged to share grace with others and feel the presence of the divine as we pause with the blessings before us.
