Note: This is the twelfth in a month-long exercise called Reverb10, where bloggers reflect on the year before and think towards the year ahead. The idea is to post daily, based on the day’s prompts; let’s see how well I do.

Prompt: Body integration. This year, when did you feel the most integrated with your body? Did you have a moment where there wasn’t mind and body, but simply a cohesive YOU, alive and present?

Further note: I hate hate HATE prompts like this. There’s some weird emotional block I have with phrases like “integrated with the body” and “living in the now.” But still, I press on.

Doing yoga. Dancing at my wedding. Dancing in general. Snuggling with my husband. Making a really good meal for friends. Creating something that’s both beautiful and actually useful.

Most importantly, when I’m *not* on a diet.
