A One-Bite Memory: Comfort Food, Senses, and a Kind Return to Now






A One-Bite Memory: Comfort Food, Senses, and a Kind Return to Now

Acai bowl as comfort food, a one-bite memory

| A One-Bite Memory

Do you have a “one-bite memory” food?

A warm, familiar feeling—

a memory you can taste.

| Then and Now

2018 (NJ)

We used to get this together all the time—

acai bowls 🥣

2025 (LA)

In a different place,

in a different time,

and still…

getting to share acai with you again

makes me so happy 🤍

Even when the place and time change,

the past and the present

can connect gently 🕊️

I’d love to do this again.

Comfort foods feel like

a “gentle ally” for the heart 🤍

Sometimes, through our senses,

our feelings quietly

begin to settle.

🕊️ A gentle learning (soft hint)

When things feel heavy,

your mind can fill with worry, sadness,

and so many feelings that everything

starts to feel tangled.

In moments like that,

bringing attention to your senses—

taste, scent, texture, warmth, color—

can help you return

to “here and now” 🌿

🕊️ A Kindness Button

  • A sip of your favorite drink

    One slow breath of a favorite scent

    One kind word to yourself

  • It’s okay if you can’t do anything today.

    Even the time you spent reading this

    is a gentle moment.

    May you find

    a small switch of kindness

    you can press for yourself 🕯️
