Scenes from the Road

Hello again, I write you as the wind HOWLS outside… it has dropped down into the upper 60’s/lower 70’s today… frigid… 😉

Ok, so here I promised to recap what Dr. Cousens suggested for his new morning drink designed to cleanse the lymph, get the neurotransmitters going in the brain, mineralize the body…

Squeemin’ for the Ice Cream

OOOOOOOOh I’m a SLACKIN’ on the bloggin’! I apologize, lovelies…

This weekend we made our first RAW ICE CREAM…. primarily with coconuts, but also threw in some cacao, carob, lucuma, coconut cream, coconut oil, and a few other things….

It’s so easy! We just used an ice cream maker, whipped up our ingredients in the blender… voila! Top with some gogi berries and cacao nibs, perfect!!

Yummies I’ve had the privilege of testing out lately are homemade hemp butter, almond butter and coconut cream, all of which are incredible. In fact, the fantastic person that is making these for me, by FAR, makes the best of them I have ever tried…

Getting Fat on Raw Foods?

Back into foods again… I’m always amazed at how just a few days of Juice Feasting can bring me back more in touch with intuitive eating… every time, just a little more.

Anthony posted a recent blog where he made the straightforward, simple, and true point that we can’t all just eat anything we want, as long as its raw. I was actually going to write about that exact thing in my last post, so I’m glad its being brought up.

Sugar THIS!

This was a weekend of juiciness for me, and it felt oh-so-good to do it in the sunny upper 80 degree weather… My intake was the same both yesterday and today:

2 quarts green juice – generally of a combination of the following: spinach/butter lettuce/alfalfa sprouts/buckwheat sprouts/sunflower sprouts/cucumber/celery/apple/lemon/ginger

2 quarts fruit juice – a combo of the following: grapefruit/orange/apple/strawberry/mango

Also adding MSM and Vitamineral Green to the juices

Hosing the Critic

Oooh it is getting HOT here… mid 80’s this weekend… before long will be the land of 90’s and 100’s… yikes! I always end up getting WHITER in the summer here because in May and June, you simply don’t go outside during the day, it’s too hot. Now, its not like Phoenix or even Tucson, but the highest temp last year here in Patagonia was 111 degrees… which is still pretty darn hot. So I am enjoying the perfect temperature while it is still here…

My Sunday morning was a juicy one – we woke up uninterested in food and so juiced till about 2pm when we ate a salad, and it felt so good. I just love the blessing of incorporating juice into our diet!

So0ooo… yesterday was yet another day in the sun! The day was just fantastic, complete with a nap in the sun, some work in the sun, flower watering in the sun, yoga in the sun, swimming in the sun, reading in the sun, and eating in the sun. And the perfect, perfect evening found me on a stroll amongst the gigantic oak trees lining Sonoita Creek.

Exploring the Clouds

Hello all darlings! I apologize for the little lapse in blogging. I’ve been experiencing some shifts and changes in my personal life that I’m adapting to and growing through… I’ve been in sort of a different place energetically and kept sitting down to blog and just having no idea what to blog about.

Galavanting Garden Greenery

The past few weeks our garden has been absolutely CHURNING out the most beautiful, incredible garden greens ever. I’ve been so supercharged – I literally eat pounds of wild and garden grown, EM grown, ocean mineral grown greens and sprouts that were harvested THAT DAY. I just am so blown away with gratitude that I have access to this kind of freshness. Now that I’ve had these kinds of foods, I can say that anywhere I live I will absolutely have to grow greens as good as these – I’m so spoiled and now I just won’t settle for less 😉

It has been a happy weekend inDEED… Whole Foods has some raw desserts now! Don’t remember the brand name, but I had a chocolate pie called ‘Who’s Your Daddy‘, and did it ever make me ask that very question…. 😉

I’ve seen two great movies this weekend (YAY! Movies that didn’t waste my time!!):

1) Horton Hears a Who

2) The Namesake

The Real Allure

Well friends, how are ye all? I am writing this post once again with gratitudefor this wonderful online medium we have for community.

It has been a spectacular week for me of healing, opening, creating new patterns and breaking old ones. It has recently come apparent to me I have many more fears and insecurities than I thought I had, and so I have been letting them come up freely. I feel like I’ve taken a huge leap forward this week in my own inner strength and dedication to living my life for me.

Rejoicingly Reading

Ahh, so breaking out of the feast has been swell, what a lovely week it was! I still did lots of juices this weekend, and will continue to do so.

I’ve started reading a new book as well, ‘Moonlight Doesn’t Wet the Water – The Search for the Jade Spring Immortal‘ by Peter Ragnar, which I’m enjoying, and of course still poring through my ‘Awaken the Giant Within’ and a few others. Reading is one of my favorite things ever 😀

Day 6 Global Juice Feast

I’ve journaled all my life, and I’ve done some really satisfying journaling on this feast. I so, so love how juice feasting is like an instant step back to look at every area of our lives with more clarity. I’m actually still reading the same book I started on my LAST juice feast – ‘Awaken the Giant Within’ by Anthony Robbins.

Happy happy, joy joy! Today was a day of elation for me, I felt in a very very good mood  Last night I finished the night with some fruit juice, which is very unusual for me, and low and behold, I didn’t sleep as well.

Nonetheless, it was an epically perfect day in every way  It feels so good to be back on juice!! YAY! I love love love the feeling of being empty. I’m actually considering going a day or two every week juice feasting for the rest of the Global Juice Feast…
