Day 23

THE best smoothie EVER...
Cultured coconut milk INFUSED with probiotics and love
and your favorite fruits --(*frozen is better because it adds more lushessness to the already so smooth ie)
I like blackberries and peaches.

the raw feast has gone so well. I have been eating so much healthier and feel SO MUCH better. I've definately noticed that when I eat cooked food I feel... different. Mostly, bloated and horrible- EVEN when it's healthy stuff. Eating mostly raw keeps me feeling light and healthy! also, I have lost at least five pounds but it could have just been inflammation... who knows. MOre energy I've had for sure AND it made me focus more on the moment instead of worrying so much about what is to come! I really liked that. I lived fully in the moments present and we could all use more of the present moment. Also, when you are doing everything you can the universe has a way of providing. There is no reason to get frustrated because God doesn't give us more than we can handle at a given time. I am going to continue to strive to eat mostly raw after this "feast" is over anyway and when I get settled in a place for a while do more exciting recipes with pictures for all to enjoy. I have been pretty nomadic lately so I don't technically have a house. However, it just goes to show you that you can do raw sans dehydrator and without fancy techniques. Veggies and fruits and foraging will do the trick! Another thing I've noticed was I was colder than usual... probably becuase when you are more alkaline you tend to be colder. That is why Alkaline diets are ideal for those living in tropical-subtropical climates and more acidic  foods keep you warm in colder weather so meat would be a better choice in the tundra.

Food for thought....
"most smiles are born of good emotions arising out of doing good, or out of feeling sympathy, love, kindness or mercy. but the most wonderful way to smile is to fill your heart with love of GOd. Then you will be able to love everybody; you will be able to smile all the time. All other forms of smiles are evanescent because emotions flicker and pass away, no matter how good they are. The only thing that can last is the joy of GOd. WHen you have that, you can smile all the time. Otherwise, when you are feeling merciful toward someone and he returns your kindness with a slap, you wont be able to feel mercy toward him any longer."

I have this GREAT raw recipe book and can't wait to get that dehydrator back so I can make some people very happy... me included!

love and light

Day 10

Well... I'm finally feeling tired and lackadaisical and I'm  having super food cravings. I'm going to whole foods to look for fancy foods to keep me satisfied so I don't fall off the band wagon. I'm going to start juicing more on Monday.  I'm starting to get le tired of salad... The "false body" is starving I know it b/c I am wanting horrible things and it's hard to say no! N.O!
