I used to think that denying the body, ignoring physical needs, was the path to holiness. But that's not what the Catholic faith teaches. What it teaches is balance—that the body matters, but it's not the master. The soul is the master. And when the soul is fed, when it's healthy and growing, it naturally guides the body toward goodness. 💫

The best thing for me is to develop a spiritual practice that nourishes me. Prayer, reflection, reading Scripture, serving others—these aren't chores or restrictions. They're like food for my deepest self. When I do these things, everything in my life makes more sense. My choices become clearer. My relationships become deeper. 🌟

The best thing for me is to stop comparing myself to what the world tells me I should be. Because what the world wants from me—to be beautiful, to be young forever, to serve my appearance and my pleasure—that's a losing game. It's a game where you can never win. But when I feed my soul, I win every single day just by showing up. 💚

I think the best thing is to understand that my body serves a purpose, but it's not the highest purpose. My body can be healthy and strong and it can age. That's okay. That's human. What matters is that my soul is becoming wiser, kinder, more connected to God every year. 🕊️

The best thing for me is to build a life where the spiritual is central. Where my choices—about time, relationships, work, everything—come from my faith, not from fear or vanity. And I think when I do that, I'll finally feel at peace. Not peace because everything is easy, but peace because I'm living according to my deepest beliefs. 💕

When a woman feeds her soul, does everything else actually fall into its proper place? I'm finding that the answer is yes. 🙏
