Lace them up! Hi! I had an epiphany this morning, as I was on my run. It just so happens that I was thinking about expending energy. Something led up to these thoughts around energy and eating live food! It was that Saturday night I went to a dance at my friends horse farm. It was a blast! I have to say, that only three straight hours of dancing was not enough for me! I wanted to dance until 1 a.m.!!! Part of it is I love dancing, the other part is it was just super fun and felt so good to expend that energy, like all kinds of electricity being discharged, static energy, out there (came out as love) to all there at the party. I gotta say, I twirled sooo many people!!! It was a hoot! (sigh, words never seem to capture the feeling!) Seeing, that night at the dance, my untapped energy potential. It is all there, just asking to be used more and more! This morning, realizing the following: LIVE food creates LIVE energy. What if you started a fire and gave it just enough air to keep burnin...

Do any of you tire of hearing raw people, blown all over the place by every word and wind from "others"? Feeling like they are not "doing it right" or have, once again "fallen off the wagon" or failed in raw life.  Listening always to those who have been raw a long time, or those guru type thinkers, world travellers and island hoppers (bless their hearts), taking what they say as carved in stone,what you must do?

Ideas, recipes, support, LOVE, inspiration, kitchen equipment thoughts are all good and helpful. But as far as direction in connection with your own eating plan, THAT is exactly what it is, YOUR OWN.We are all heading in the direction of health if we are on a raw journey, the path you take to get their is YOU...

Do you realize what a wonder we have in Chia? Oh aren't they those little seeds that make those cute little green pets? Or that gift that keep on giving but you would rather not? Who knew these little seeds pack such power?? I highly recommend to forget purchasing those little pets at giftime (nobody really wants them anyway right?) and give them the gift of the Chia seeds themselves! These babies are packed with nutrients and are a powerful addition to a vibrant life. Here is a short list of some of the blessings of Chia: Endurance and stamina=ENERGY! Economical (thats reason enough right now eh?) Great source of protein Great for weight loss (Oh boy I am in) Assists in colon health/elimination (who dont want this I ask you?) May asssist in prevention of heart disease Helps prevent colon cancer (who wants that? Not me) Balances blood sugar Assists those with diabetes (yup grandma will even love them!) Packs more punch than flax seed (no way, you dont say...
