Random rollover, conscientious healing, sun and rain, Naked as we Came

Quick posting today.. spent lots of time in the kitchen this morning.. and called Mom - I got vacation time booked yesterday, a week from July 28- Aug6 and we are arranging me coming home (NB) Yay.. shes looking into flights. What a great Mom!!

The pic is a bit random, yesterday (random day) was so much fun I have to extend it a bit. ; )

Thought for the day: Whenever you take something for your body, put something into your body to help it, whether food, herbs, medicine, essential oils etc. think about what effect you would like it to have on your body. If you think about what you want this thing that you are ingesting to do, it will boost it's effectiveness. Not that it wont be effective without the thought.. but thoughts are very powerful and I think if you combine the thought with the substance you are taking it will help it to do exactly what you want. Sometimes I take wheatgrass and think of it like little scrub brushes going into my cells and cleaning all the toxins out.. I remember Mom telling that this smoothie she used to make would heal tumors and things in the body and I think of that now sometimes, that anything that was there is going away, disintegrating, the body is healing itself through the smoothies and the healthy foods I eat. Think of your blood being clean and flowing smoothly, the pathways are clear.. think of the inside of you being filled with light, radiating through and brightening your aura, helping to send out positive vibes and love to everyone who comes into contract with you. Think of how you are detoxifying, cleaning the guck out of your cells, all the toxins that have gotten stored in there is being eliminated and making room for clean blood and oxygen and light to flow through and illuminate you both inside and out. & be happy! & in love!!

It's pouring & dark outside!! (but the sun is still there - it always is)
Reminds me of this video that my friend sent.. not exactly all raw, but its interesting - the life cycle - 2:30 min and it made me think & I like things that do that. ..so I am posting it.

Naked as we Came - Iron and Wine

Portobello Pizza, Ceasar Salad, Ice Cream, Fruit & Jack Johnson

My Portobello Pizza

I poured a bit of lemon juice on the mushroom cap & topped with:
Tomato Sauce - sun-dried tomatoes, tomatoes, red pepper, olive oil, garlic, onion, fresh basil & oregano, jalapeno.
Arugula Walnut Pesto - arugula, walnuts, olive oil, basil, garlic, salt.
Toppings - cut up red pepper, green onions, pineapple and black olives
Pine Nut Sauce - pine nuts, water, bit of lemon juice and salt

It was really good, but to be honest I might go back to a reg pizza crust next time. (& by regular I do mean dehydrated : )

Ceasar Salad Dressing

1 c cashews &/or pine nuts
1/2 c olive oil
1/2 c water
3 garlic cloves
1 T dijon mustard
1/2 lemon - juiced
1 t nutritional yeast (opt)
1 t salt
1/2 t black pepper
dash cayenne

Cherrys picked from a tree on our street. My neighbour brought them for me for breakfast! : ) Yay!!

Lunch - a case of mangoes
Snack - a bowl of lychees

Dessert - Banana Chocolate Ice Cream - Frozen bananas put through juicer (with blank screen) & then mixed with raw chocolate powder, agave and some chopped dates.

Life is good. My painting is finished. I have the day off & there's lots of sunshine, good food & good music!! : )
p.s. Thanks Wayne for the Jack Johnson cd, am really enjoying it!

Jack Johnson - Times Like These

Being, Anne Wigmore, wheatgrass, The Real News, Flower chocolates, Swedish and Video lessons

Favorite recent memories:

the big line-up at work.. I'm the only one on the floor & I apologize to the man who is standing next and he says calmly "I'm not waiting, I'm just being" (...he got that from the Power of Now, gotta love that book! : ) I appreciated that immensely.

Anne Wigore used to drink up to 64 ozs of wheatgrass a day! That's a lot of wheatgrass!!! She was really into experimenting with her body. Often she would go through the day eating only 1/2 a papaya, a bit of her energy soup and wheatgrass.. and have lots of energy. She founded the Hippocrates Health Institute and is considered The mother of living foods. (more on her from a past post here)

I spoke to a man who said that his eyesight was healed after drinking 2ozs of wheatgrass a day, every day - 5 months after starting this, he realized that he didn't need his glasses anymore to read things and he was amazed at how it was healing his body.

..a waterarian

The picture I missed & have to share verbally. The Real News.com - who reside on the 2nd floor of our building, right above us.. and who I know best from asking us to turn the music down, lol - they were preparing for a party and in our kitchen at work preparing fruit platters and I was still working..

I was juicing wheatgrass for a customer amidst piles and piles of fruit prepared to go on trays covering the whole counter and I barely just uncovered the wheatgrass juicer to make this juice: baby finger bananas, cherries, melons, grapes, grapefruit, oranges, lemons and limes cut up, strawberries, other berries, pineapple etc & etc.. it was beautiful! fruit everywhere!.. enough for about 300 people!!

The small pic I took is from their reception - launching party.. it didn't turn out great, but it's all I have.. you can barely see, or not, Paul Jay, the executive director, CEO. You can see an interview with him, see the space and the concept - it's pretty huge - a tv network with no gov't funding, no corporate funding, no advertising - The Real News. I recommend watching.. if I was going to watch the news, I think I would watch it here. Maybe one day I will.

Making flower chocolates - the best tasting, soothest and creamiest ones ever! Raw cacao, hemp butter, cocoa butter, agave, vanilla, maca, ginseng, slippery elm, a bit of maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon and Celtic salt. Mmmm.. these are going quick!


Flowers on flowers, my painting above, the backdrop flowers is a painting I was up till 1:30 last night working on & am heading back down soon to work on more.. along with my white flower (which is anything but white! and my new weeks flower) .. g2g going!!! ...

random Swedish lesson: "bytt e bytt a det koer aldrig er igen" translates something like trading something with someone and you got something really magical and the best trade ever. : )

video lesson: Room tone - take 60 sec- 2 min of average room sounds of space after taping, to use to edit into sounds if needed.

LoVe LiFe!
Be Happy
~HuGs to all~
