HINTS

If you accidentally put too much lime juice in your guacamole make soup!
For Monday; I don't fit in the pea pod suit but I'll try to make it as cool as I can!

We Can: A Call to Action

Namaste Healer,

I am writing today to let you know that a member of our community needs our support. I was notified yesterday that the young daughter of one of our members has been diagnosed with Leukemia. The toddler is only 2 years old, about to turn 3. Because the mother did not reach out to me personally, I am not going to disclose any names or provide a picture. However, not having these things does not in any way diminish WHAT WE CAN DO!

In my years as a healer,…

Failures & Shorelines

Last November I wrote to this community about a 21 day detox I was taking on. I made it 8 days before I completely derailed.  I still managed to cut the excess body fat that was making me uncomfortable (even just a week of raw food does wonders), but I didn't achieve my goal - to complete…

I am a Work in Process

"The crux of the curious difficulty lies in the fact that our conscious views of what life ought to be seldom correspond to what life really is. Generally we refuse to admit within ourselves, or within our friends, the fullness of that pushing, self-protective, malodorous, carnivorous, lecherous fever…

"Do I Know You?"

This past Monday, I spent the day with a friend who I've known since high school. But this is no ordinary friend to me. You know how you have some people in your life who you feel you will always have a connection to. Even if you go through periods of not talking to them much or at all, for some reason when you think about who you've become in life, you can't help but think of these people. That's who this friend is for me.

Change after change, we always seem to come together…

Nerve-Toxicity of TVP (Texturized Vegetable Protein)

New info is now out about the Toxicity of TVP!

 (Texturized Vegetable Protein)

It contains a nerve toxin... Please, Spread the Word!



When I was 5 months pregnant...2 months ago... I accidentally ate some TVP at an all-vegetarian pot luck social, it was labeled "gluten free veggie lasagna."  I really didn't expect that to have TVP in it because I make gluten free veggie lasagnas at home without TVP, and it…

War is Over… If You Want It

As a child, I would use any medium or mode possible to express myself. I was always drawing, painting, building things, climbing trees, and seeing how high, fast and far I could run and jump, just to name a few…

"It just happened!"

Hi All,

It's been quite a while since I posted. The long and short of it is, after 20 days without sugar, I grabbed a raw chocolate bar at the Dekalb Farmer's Market and I was off to the races.

It "happened" with a lot of forethought, though the actual gesture took a split second.

Since then I have been eating sugary things off and on. I'm not too happy about the weight I've gained since this, er, "happened." Gaining and losing weight is after all, a calories in and…

The Fragility of Life

For the first time in 4 years, I was sick a few weeks ago. At one moment, as I lay in bed, I thought to myself, "this is what it feels like to be a human being who gets sick sometimes." Then a wave of emotion washes over me as I am suddenly present to a scene from my childhood...





I am 7 years old. I am sick with a fever. I am walking to the kitchen, past my mother who is sitting in the living room watching the 5 o'clock news,…

The 14th Day -- My Birthday

Hi All,

My birthday is a day apart from one of my best friends birthday, and we celebrated in a big way yesterday. My friend was turning 50, and I 51, My guess is there were over 50 people attending the party. The party was catered with Jamaican style food. Not much in the way of raw food, but the food was fresh and well prepared. My favorite was the pineapple coleslaw.

Rewind to five hours before the party. The big test, of course, would be the cake. Would I eat any? The funny…

One Step at a Time

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
- Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu

Chinese philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC)

 

In my experience, true Health is the product of honoring what it is to be a REAL, LIVE human being who feels things, even things we may not like, and consciously lives in ways that push the envelope anyway because we believe…

Week 1 + 3 days

Hi All,

The biggest challenge I thought I would have yet in taking sugar out of my diet happened last Friday. I was at a holiday party and there were sweets galore. There was also really healthy food, a cut above the usual holiday fare. I thought I would have a hard time at the party but I didn't. I really enjoyed the good food and didn't miss the sugar at all.

The most interesting thing that happened at the party was how people reacted when I was turning them down as they…

Days 5 and 6

Hi All,

In response to my last blog, Victoria Moon asked a very important question regarding what “happened” after my last bodybuilding contest. Soon after my last competition I knew I had to begin to attend OA meetings when I could not stop eating. It was really frightening. I knew for some time that I had an eating disorder, but I was able to "control" my very strict bodybuilders diet for about three years, falling “off the wagon” harder and harder after each show. The good…

Quote of the Month:

"Recognizing, accepting, and expressing our authentic interior reality lies at the heart of honesty; only when we are honest with ourselves can we speak or act honestly with anyone else. In the sense of integrity, honesty entails acting in line with higher laws despite negative impulses to the contrary.


Live according to your highest light and more light will be given."
