Secrets & Lemons

"For as long as I can remember, lemon juice in warm water has been my góto choice to start the day. I appreciate its wonderful properties.Over time, this bright yellow fruit became a perfect metaphor for my journey of selfreflection. Years of hidden truths finally came to light as I peeled back the layers of my life.Yellow often symbolises caution or cowardice,but it is also associated with optimism and mental clarity. I experienced all those emotions during my journey of selfawareness.I discovered that just like a lemon, an appealing outer skin can sometimes disguise inner layers that reveal a thin or thickskinned nature.When we bite into the juices beneath the surface, we may find the taste unpleasant and even too bitter to swallow. However, embracing and using these benefits can transform what began as seed into a new zest for life, ultimately capable of developing into something fertile and productive.~ Barbara Docherty.
