New Dirty Dozen

Are you familiar with the Environmental Working Group?  They offer great information on food safety and earth kindness.  I keep their list of the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 foods with me, in my purse, and have the app on my smart-phone.  Today the EWG just announced a list of endocrine disruptors.   Some of the best steps you can take to avoid these elements in your life are simple.  Switch to natural cleansers.  I either use cleansers from Tropical Traditions which are all plant based and earth and human friendly, or something simple like vinegar and water, or 1/2 a lemon to scrub out the sink. 
You can do this, and you will impact the planet and your body in a such a life-giving way!

Keep it Smooth

Despite the change to cooler weather in the North East, I'm still enjoying my cool-green-smoothies.  We have collard greens still coming up in the garden.  I grabbed several leaves last evening and rinsed them off.  This morning, I simply tore them up and put them in my blender cup.  I added a small banana, a bunch of frozen organic blueberries, chia seeds, flax seeds, and  spoonful of raw Manuka honey- oh, and H2O.

What a great way to start the day!

Creative Plant Based Living

I had such a fun day today, making new fat-free-vegan recipes with my daughter.  This is the Vegan Sausage we made, from Isa Chandra Moskowitz's recipe.  I love her cookbook, Appetite for Reduction, and she has so much to offer at her website.

Authentic Veg-Sausages!
These sausages made a nice addition to to the lentils, rice and beans that my husband had for lunch.  We went light on the fennel, but will use more next time.  While I don't miss the texture of meat at all, this was fun to make with my daughter and makes a nice addition to many dishes.  Let me know if you try it!

Taking a Breath

I just needed a moment to re-group during a stress-filled Friday morning.  As I breathe, I see my clock reads 11:11.  Ah....We All Are One! 

Whenever you see your clock read 1:11 or 11:11, take a moment and fill it with gratitude for the oneness of nature and human  nature.

Protecting Our Children in a Wireless World

I won't stay in fear, that our world is filled with electromagnetic fields that disturb our bodies' ability to function. It appears that modern technology is  re-wiring our children in ways that impact their personalities and their health.

Pure Potential

I choose to imagine that the human body is evolving at the same rate as technology.  What once would have been toxic to us as humans, we can now live with in alignment.  

Will you join me in this vision, that all is well.  That humans have created advanced technology in perfect time, in perfect order, for our human race to embrace it wholly and healthfully?

"Try"

When I checked in with a friend to see if she was affirming her self-love in the mirror on a daily basis, she said she was, "trying."
What happens when you try?  Often times, you succeed, but plenty of other times, you give up!  I try to do my pushups on my feet, but often drop to my knees.  What do you try to do?

When you have a goal, a vision, a plan and you have a commitment, you succeed!  To me, the word try leaves too much space for me to quit.  

Use the word intend and visualize your outcome before you begin.  It truly is magical.

Choosing Awareness

Do you know what you want to come your way today?  
Having clarity on what you want to experience and achieve is critical to actually manifesting the results you want.
A day at the beach...
I have been so grateful to see my "to do" list checked-off with very little effort.  It seems magical, but if you remain clear and focused on what you want, and you keep resistance out of the picture, you will find that what you want comes to you effortlessly.  This is the magic that occurs in lining your energy up with universal energy.
