Power of the Peach
"It was those sun-heated mouthfuls of peach that haunted my memories, that finally led me back to the kitchen as my life's work." - David Mas Masumoto
The Peach symbolizes immortality, fertility, abundance and longevity.
Purple represents royalty, nobility, power and ambition. It is the color frequency connected to psychic sight, mystical powers and ancient wisdom.
The power of the peach lives within all of us. Our ancestors knew this. Yes, you reading this has the exact energetic of the peach power within your mind, body and spirit. I am here to help guide you on how to find it, connect with it and wield it correctly.
As my first Substack post I’d like to be proper and introduce myself.
Hi!
My name is Tenay and I am the Purple Peach, a true food warrior.
I’ve been doing this life thing for 38 years and I can honestly say that cooking has been the one thing that has excited me, inspired me, enlightened me, reconstructed me, healed me and entertained me. That and music…but well get to that another day.
Creating in the kitchen has saved my mental state from cracking in half on more than one occasion. I feel it is imperative for me to share my understanding of the Peach Power to anyone who will listen. I ask you to keep an open mind and have the courage to try an energetic approach in the kitchen.
Eating and enjoying meals with others promotes a special kind of satisfaction and communal alignment. It’s time for all of us to access the reality that we have the power to initiate unity over separatism. It all begins in the home first.
Everything does.
Food can change our moods, lift our hearts, ignite our passions, cleanse our bodies, bring clarity to our minds…it is the power of the peach that has been hijacked through consumerism and mass production.
It is my life’s work to reclaim the Power of the Peach for every household and family dynamic to unify in the kitchen, at the table and share this power within their communities.
Commercially every single Chef, Cook, Caterer can yield this power and shift the vibe of an entire dining room or catering hall. It can disintegrate conflict during a dinner date, heal broken hearts at a funeral, bring elation to a wedding…it can do anything YOU tell it to do if you are aligned to it.
We can use this peach power to heal each other.
We can change the game of what it means to be and stay healthy.
Health = Wealth
If you are healthy emotionally, mentally and physically then happiness, contentment and peace are on the menu...yes? That, to me, is true wealth.
You have a right to attain a peaceful resolution in your being at any time, in any situation. Without holding any fear of lack, failure, self-doubt, etc. The way we prepare and consume our meals can be a catalyst for that alignment.
In this now, true wealth is a result of this alignment: committing to loving ourselves enough to create the life we know we deserve. With this we can create an environment we know our families and communities can thrive in. Knowing this, we can take our Peach Power and put it work.
So, I ask you this…if health is wealth, where does food fit in? Where does cooking fit in? How do we keep our homes and communities safe from harmful pesticides, pollutants and carcinogens that have robbed us of our true physical wealth in this current climate of mass food production?
YOU have so much more power than you think.
WE are able to shift how we feel and take our power back from the heaviness of the price tag. Cage free, hormone free, vegan, organic, etc. I’m sure those behind these labels had good intentions in the beginning but are they as effective in their design as they say?
We can see this in the distorted growth farming processes, inhumane labor standards, horrible farm conditions for the animals led to slaughter for our meat consumption, inaccurate nutritional value, diets, fads, etc.
It all starts to feel so predatory when you zoom out and see the manipulation for what it is…stealing the wealth from our health and the stability of our home life and wallet.
Now, we can’t do much about the wallet issue but we can shift the perspective on our own abilities in the kitchen.
Again, YOU have more power than you think.
The Power of the Peach, when wielded correctly from the essence of our true hearts, can energetically dominate that in which has misaligned us collectively from the wealth of our health.
Prepared meals by someone with a true open loving heart and conscious intention can create a positive uplifting experience within and without. It can heal dis-ease and unconscious behavior patterns. All it takes is a true heart connection and the power of your conscious intention.
So follow me on this journey of healing our hearts and minds through our stomachs.
One meal, one bite, one conscious intention at a time.
With loving intention,
Tenay '10A' Terrell

I cook everyday. I'm a forager, hunter, fisherman, gardener, all of it. I like to ingest the beauty of the earth in so many ways. Food is the foundation. It's gnarly to go to the store and look at the folks and their carts. Not all of them, but most. Man, it don't look good out there. It took a lot of work to get this bad. And yes, there's a lot positive going on. Flavor, in all senses of the word, is important. For me, America is now almost flavorless. Luckily I have some wild and delicious friends. And I know there are more, but geez... I cook every night to music. Lately we've been doing a really early light dinner, man my body works good when I do. I've been making almost tapas style bits and pieces and putting em on a cutting board. no plates. we stand and eat and talk and listen. it's super pleasant. not so many friend folks close by right now so we do the ritual ourselves usually putting on funky salsa, samba, and other flavorful, lively music. i make most everything from scratch save for baked things, I'm not much of a baker as of yet. I ferment my own vegetables. my friend put my peppers into his popular restaurant in ojai california. Papa's Peppers! Man they're delicious. I love it all, as long as it's real. Yup, food is the foundation and cooking brings it further. if people don't start getting wild and smart about food soon i figure we're doomed to the WEF agendas and all that other horse shit. Long live the natural free human beings and all delicious life! Cheers.
