What is your favorite food that you can enjoy, guilt free? Indulge in it, savoring the taste on your tongue, consciously aware of the here and now moment, since far too often, we rush through our food intake, not realizing that nourishment comes in all forms. Long ago, I gave up the idea of &#8216;guilty pleasures&#8217; and now simply just immerse in pleasure. Recently, I dove into the delight of coconut ice cream from Gehringers in New Hope. It was actually a doubly enjoyable experience since I &#8216;got to&#8217; take a leisurely stroll down the street of one of my favorite towns. Think &#8216;Key West on the Delaware&#8217;, &#8216;Haight Ashbury on the East Coast&#8217; and &#8216;Greenwich Village In The Country&#8217; and you have a sense of this suburban Philadelphia town. People watching is another treat, as I found myself smiling at the colorful display of humanity, some walking hand in hand, others gathered in groups to celebrate a glorious sunshine-beaming Spring day. <\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; As you enter your weekend, I offer you a bliss kiss, your weekly invitation to pleasure.
