Outside the home was a completely different experience – the dancing pitiful words that I thought were finally put to rest, bounced back once I entered young adulthood. Occasionally dining out at restaurants and attending glamorous Indian weddings became a part of my social life. I came face-to-face with foods I could not eat and the associated words, “Why me?” were unwavering in their rhythm. I’m not someone who believes in coincidences, so as I write this, I consider this period of time in my life to have been a significant realization for me. 

The seemingly simple action of sitting at a table that was not in my own house, for a meal, triggered a cascade of negative emotions inside me. However, I allowed the beauty of the song and dance at the many social functions I attended, to ignite a love for all things music and weddings. 

Fast forward two decades.

Thankfully, with much inner healing and the slow but sure improvement within the food service industry, the negativity surrounding the dining experience does not ring true for me today. 

A strong foundation of holistic nutrition and reiki in my personal life has healed the part of me that was haunted by the age-old question, “Why me?” It has finally met its match…

“Because I was chosen for a reason.”
