Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky...
You gave it your all. You abused me in every way possible: physically, psychologically, financially, emotionally, sexually, mentally, spiritually...did I miss any?
You manipulated, deceived, betrayed, and controlled me. You diminished, demeaned, humiliated, and punished me.
You did your best to destroy me.
But:
I.
Am.
Not.
Damaged.
All of my good qualities? Are still intact. My skills, my talents? Still here.
My creativity, my kindness, my compassion, my generosity, my strength, my drive, my ability to do hard things, my passion, my zest for life, my friendliness, my likability, my love of fun, my genuineness, my authenticity, my capacity to love, my relationship with the GOD of the universe...are all still right here, inside of me. Intact.
And I will use all of those things and more to rise from these ashes. To BUILD a great new me and an amazing new life.
You didn't break me.
Your lies will rot your life. Evil destroys the conduit through which it flows.
But I... I will flourish. I will thrive. I will shine brightly.
I am not damaged.
