Often in life, we tend to see things as one thing or one way. We have been raised a certain way, taught things that were our parents(or others) way of thinking, given the ways that "life is". "Thats just the way it is" they say! What do you see here...a young lady or old? Things are rarely what they might appear at first glance! (someone will see the old lady and give you a clue!) Is is really exactly the way "they" say it is? I am talking about LOVE here, more specifically..(yes we are on that subject again). HOW is love, really? Is LOVE just one thing or is it everything? Is it smooching and hugging or is it in those who might speak unkindly to us? Is it in certain places or is it everywhere? Is it in only the good stuff or in the rough stuff too? Is it only in color or is it truly black and white..either it is LOVE or it is not!? For many, this has been a prison of limited thinking and has kept them small, in a tight box, cramped and not op...

What you got in that bag?  Did you know that just looking in your bag, your pantry, your closet, under your sink, that I can tell you how big your body burden is? Yes. By the products you put on your skin, eat, use on your clothes, and your cleaning products alone, I can see a large part of your body burden (how toxic it is). Remember that embalming fluid you have heard about-formaldehyde? This is a toxic gas found in carpets and furniture, clothing, soaps and shampoos, and even deodorant. It is allowed, although a known carcinogen, to be used on our skin but banned in some countries. Phthalates hit the headlines last year for being "gender benders". They are a family of industrial plastics are already banned in the EU from being used in plastic toys, but are still in hairsprays, top-selling perfumes and nail varnishes. They can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled as fumes and ingested from contaminated food or breastfeeding. Animal studies have shown they can dama...

AROUND THE WORLD Wow it has been a long time since I posted here. Life seems to take us all the way around the world and back again! No, I didn't go around the world but almost. Not physically so much as mentally and emotionally, growing and changing. Aren't we all forced to every single day? WOWeeee In the world of health and food, this changes daily too and it is no wonder people wonder what to eat! One day it is good and the next day not. Let's just eat BERRIES!! Haha! Right? Keeping it simple really does make life easier. Choosing simple but healthy and very tasty options keeps us on the right track while loving our food. Our body loves it too. We all know by now that simple green smoothies are the way to a healthy body! Imagine making sure you have greens, fruits and maybe some special additions you like, in your fridge all the time. If you were to have smoothies every day, varying the greens, your health would improve so much! That is your ditty for t...

You truly are what you EAT, DRINK, THINK, SAY, and DO! 1) LOVE YOURSELF enough to want better health thus a better life! This is a must for optimum health. Many people have "I'm not good enough" going on. Disappear that and love yourself healthily, knowing you deserve to look and feel your best! Trouble is, most do not even have any idea what their best is, as they have not seen it yet! 2) Eat only whole, plant based foods in their natural state. A raw eating plan floods the body with more nutrition than it can handle and thus creates energy, vitality, glowing skin and amazing health. 3) Drink pure, clean water that flushes and regenerates your cells. Our bodies are made up of a whole lot of water. When you continually replenish water lost and flood the cells with clean water, your body can operate much more efficiently! 4) Exercise every single day! Our bodies are made to move! Every organ and system in our body functions well, due to movement. It is a m...

When things do not feed your spirt..... Ever done this?........ I know I sure have! Not feeling I had the strength this guy has either....haha. For what reason would someone do this, if they did not have to or need to? Well,it certainly would end of in making the person stronger. Also might wear one out too and might not come anywhere near close to cleansing nor feeding the spirit. Of course we feel best when we are feeding our spirit, which also in in the flow. The flow vs the force. Kind of like those salmon swimming upstream, although they do it for a purpose, right before their imminent death, but we don't need to mention that part of this illustration now do we? Feeding our spirit involves being in flow and flux and being willing to go as life goes, not forcing something else. Force tends to crush our spirit. So, being willing to "roll with it" and go where life goes. Being willing to give up things that no longer serve our lives, letting go of them, wishi...

Our bodies are in trouble! If you don't think so, go sit in a mall or at a state fair and look around. Are our bodies in deep doo-doo or what? Cancer is more rampant than ever, obesity is too! Medicine is big business and people are sicker than ever before. In today's world, we are inundated from every side, assaulted with toxins, chemicals, pesticides, fumes, and this is before we even eat. Yes, our food is, in the case of a lot of American plates, not even food but a chemicalized glob of goop.   My point here is simply to cry out "HELP" as most people need help to lighten the body burden, to clean out the pipes and drains and refresh the organs. Here is a list for starters: Put nothing on your body that you would not eat. Drink clean, no chlorine or flouridated water. Use only products in your home that are eco friendly, natural, green and that you could eat (vinegar, baking soda, etc). Yes, eat organic and fresh food. Breathe clean air w...

Do you feel out of sync? Like all the wheels and gears are not lining up, running smoothly together, creating forward ecstatic motion? Is your life, your daily activities, all you do, say and ARE BEING lining up in harmony with your values, your desires and all you want out of life? Meaningful life and feeding one's spirit is an intention, it does not often just happen by itself, without an intention. Sometimes, many times, getting unstuck is done simply by putting the car in GEAR! For me, the wheels are set in motion when I shift into first gear. No, no, I did not say when I hit fourth gear and go zero to 60 in 3.2 seconds! ...or get there yesterday (even though that is what we want many times). Ok, on that point, to get there yesterday, we need to create our today in harmony with what we want, 1/4 mile at a time or more, or less. Then we look back and we got there yesterday...hahaha Take that step, whatever it is, whatever you have been wanting to do...
