Almost New Year!

Hi!!

Happy New Year Goal setting!

Almost 2010 THE best year yet!!!

xoxoxo

Snow Day

Well we usually get 1 day of snow a year ;0)
Today we woke up to snow !!!
It melted by midday, ah! that was fun!!

Oh chocolate I'm glad your back (almost 4 months with no chocolate!)
Got some chocolate paste, yum, already had it as hot chocolate
also in dates with almond butter
and with banana slices and cashews
will plot more naughty chocolate goodness !!!
(need some workable sweetener for proper chocolates)

Really love this one:

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Margaret Mead

Just a sniffle

Interesting the difference to have a cold or a sniffle when you eat this way... I feel under the weather though am lucky to be minus the runny nose and other "leaking" elements ;0)

Saw a fun movie with Tim last week, "A Christmas Carol" with Jim Carey, gotta love what movies have become, so nice of them to spend million making a movie just for all of us!

Otherwise, keeping up with eating it's been three weeks and feels like my juice feast was already so long ago, liquids seem to be more appropriate now to flush out my system though it's hard not to eat ;0) even though it better when you are sniffly..

Good time of year to vibe into the Christmas energy, yes it may have gotten commercial, though there is definitely a different feel on Christmas, like more people than not are actually happy and in Joy. Wonderful!

Also with new years coming it feel magical to be ringing in 2010.. feels to me like the way 2000 was such a big moment...
and of course it also bring us closer to 2012 which has a lot of mystery around it, what will really happen??
Well.. still there are 2 whole wonderful years to enjoy fully, 2012 will come soon enough, and surely will be a turning point with all the shift predictions, I'm betting it will be for the better!

If anyone needs a good charity to send $$ to in honor of the holidays and new years, Women for Women is doing great work and there's always the Tree Planting foundation, nothing like opening your wallet to open your heart for the new year! (well this calenders new year anyways)

Also today was the peace 21 initiative, check it out www.peaceeveryday.org

The first picture is a ode to green juice

Hi! Took a little break ;0)

Now that I'm adjusting to being off the feast I've started exploring the world again.
Drinking plenty of water, eating as low glycemic as possible and being grateful for food..
Enjoying the holidays, enjoying my husband ;0)

So here are some pics... (the funnest part) Oh, they came up backwards so #1 is the last picture..

#1 My homebrew Kombucha
#2 Me living it up by adding carrots to my salad ;0)
#3 Me and Tim on a day trip to Diamond Mountain AZ (scenery, pistachio trees, pecan factory, a holiday tumbleweed!!)
#4 me today after 1/2 a month back on food :0)
#5 our Chanakah Christmas Tree (notice the lovely phase 1 sugar free chocolate heart under the Tree that Tim surprised me with today) mmm ;0)
#6 Views from our house (as requested) (more to come)

I believe the teaching that being a spiritual person is very much about building character

so...

"It requires less character to discover the faults of others, than to tolerate them."
J. Petit Senn
(and learn to embrace them :0) as quirks

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
Henry David Thoreau

10 day and happy

I've been breaking the feast and am now eating regularly.
it's been 10 days, today I ate/drank:

lots of water ;0)
32 oz dark green juice
almond milk
zucchini noodle soup (blue green algae, astragalus, etc..)
coconut banana shake (weird to have something rich and sweet, though it was yummy!)
1 1/2 avocados

Sleepy day!

Adjusting to life as a talker and an eater ;0)

Still reminding myself that I can talk at times.. helps you think about what your going to say though !

Had a good adjustment w/ Dr George, happily the crick in my neck from sleeping funny a while back
was one of the things that he got back into place, yeay

Was dreaming about the movie Love Actually yesterday so I decided to watch it again, I love it! If your not into Christmas movies it's still good because it such a well made movie!! (i think so at least) I usually watch it every year, I used to watch it with Susan and Philip, but that's ok, we talked yesterday and I think they were going to watch it too

Today's yummy food:
water
32oz green juice lots of sprouts and spinach with celery and ginger
a big zucchini noodle soup with avocado and chia dumplings
a HUGE salad a la spirulina
Big glass of almond milk with cardamom, stevia and I warmed it up so it was like tea (not too hot ;0)
Just finished and avocado and we'll see what's next ..
Tim just handed me a bag of cashews.... things could get wild!

PS glad to hear some of you are enjoying the posts, I was happy to finally start a blog so I could keep in touch with all you wonderful people that I am blessed to know!!!!

Another yummy day!

Today went by pretty quick, was a little over inthusiatic with my food choices and got a little belly ache ;0)
I had, a big noodle soup (way too big) carrot/zucchini/kelp noodles, broth nori noodles
and the drink is a coconut milk cardamom delight ;0)

I choose a more simple menu for today:
32 oz green juice
Chia pudding : chia, almond milk, cardamom, stevia
Big green salad with spirulina
My version of Coconut noodle soup: Aka Susan noodle soup (it was first created 4-5 years ago when we used tons of coconuts at the cafe, Susan made a great soup with ingredients off the condement table ;0) here's how i like it at home
1 coconuts worth of pulp cut into noodles (the best noodle shapes you can cut)
water "broth"
good dash aple cider vinegar
fresh ground black pepper
parsley flakes (or a little fresh minced parsley)
salt
nutritional yeast
flax oil
warm in a pot! voila

We all love this quote

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness
that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are
a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel
insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We
were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's
not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light
shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.”
