Well what a very nice weekend it has been 🙂

Yesterday I visited many of my female friends – I was feeling like the most balancing and loving thing I could do for myself, as I had these last three days for myself, was to get back into more feminine energy – both within myself, and surrounding myself.

I realized that I don’t even remember the last time I was in a home by myself for a few days. I think it’s been at least a good year and a half, I’ve always lived with other people.

The lovely Raw Goddess Heathy is here at the Tree!

And she’s even sweeter in person than you’d imagine 🙂

What a blessing this online community is, and how fun it is to meet people in person after you’ve been following their work. Heathy and I have both been following eachothers’ blogs!

It’s happened for me quite a few times now that I’ve finally met someone in person after knowing who they are and even being in contact for even up to a year or more.

I will be getting my camera cord up to speed soon to provide some original pictures for your viewing pleasure. In the meantime, nice picture of the Chugach Mountains in Alaska, (courtesy of David Whitten), eh?

Yesterday I partook in the BBB test (Bio-Brain-Balance Test) to determine one’s metabolic/autonomic constitution and therefore optimum dietary pattern. It involves eating specific foods and administering a venipuncture blood draw once every two hours, for a total of four blood draws.

The unspeakable has happened.

Yes, indeed, the time has cometh.What, you ask? Wait for it… wait for it…

I’ve turned orange.

From the spirulina.

Seriously, my whole body has this orange tint that people are commenting that I look very tan and glowing, but its not a tan! Particularly on my palms and face I am ORANGE!

Perhaps this is my billion dollar claim to fame – I’ve discovered the ultimate fake tan!!!

We have, as of today, been visited once again by the Organic Thai Coconut Gods.

Indeed. Another huge truckload. Thing is, I’m still tired of so many coconuts from the last round, that I’m only sort of drawn to them this time…. I am definitely not ready for more coconut kefir, that’s for sure.

Not just coconuts this time, but an assortment of other fruit, as you can see from the picture above that I snagged from Frank.

I want to start out this post with appreciation for everyone who leaves me comments on this blog – it brings me a lot of joy to read your responding thoughts!

Oh boy, I am sore today! This working out thing does the trick 😉

I love love love it, and am starting to truly crave exercise. The more I do it (I’ve now been exercising for an hour every other day, and about 15 minutes per day on the ‘off’ days, a combination of cardio, weights, and floor exercises), the more I understand how vitally important it really is.

Well, what a weekend it has been!!

Last night we attended a ‘Cheezy Music and Raw Chocolate Dance Party‘. Need I explain more?

If you haven’t had the experience of a large group of very extroverted people dancing like fools, ‘high’ on waaaaaaay too much raw chocolate, durian and coconut…

You need to.

I’ve figured out how to bring the colorback to my blog, thanks to the help of a wonderful reader. Thanks 🙂

This has been the week of the kefir! I have drank probably about 20 oz. of kefir every day for the last week. I imagine my digestive flora is quite thriving and healthy by now. I totally love it, I have no aversion to the taste and actually really love it.

The Tree of Life Cafe has also been putting out fermented vegetables out every day for lunch, so I’m getting quite the dosage of healthy probiotics!

My post title today is somewhat sarcastic, but only in the most playful way, of course.. find out what I mean by continuing to read…

Greetings to you on a 74 degree Arizonian day 🙂

I think I might turn totally brown this year, what with the spirulina glow and the season of sun, which is NOW!!

Blog naming is a lot more difficult when I can’t just name it the day of the Juice Feast I’m on 😛 I’m just not quite sure what to name these blogs… Maybe I should just choose titles that are completely random and not having anything to do with the the actual subject of the blog?

Some of you have requested the ‘how to’ make coconut kefir. I actually wrote this in my blog early in the Juice Feast, please click here to see that post.

Alternative to colonics? Probably not, but nonetheless, a new alternative to completely FLUSHING your colon out is to drink a large amount of fermented coconut kefir at once.

Whew. I think people usually take a few ounces at a time, but Thim and I decided to down a good 18 oz glass each at all at once… and THAT was quite the experience.

Beware, because preceding your release you may be visited upon by some lovely fragrances emitting from deep within your digestive tract.

Ello ello, dear readers! I do trust that you’re having a first few days of 2008 that are naught but spectacular!

The picture above was taken right before we ate our Thanksgiving Feast, I think its wonderful so I thought I’d share. I’m actually in the picture, but I won’t try to tell you where I am.

I got a lovely chance to see the first copy of Gabriel’s NEW BOOK!!

This one is going to rock the world. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s called

“THERE IS A CURE FOR DIABETES”
