Ending Watermelon Season with a Punch

The Laws of Increase and Infinite Expansion & Making Happy Choices!

Thoughts from Wallace Wattle's The Science of Getting Rich:

~ we don't have to waste our time in jobs we don't like, and that, in fact, we SHOULD not.

~ each of us has within us the necessary talent to do whatever it is we would absolutely LOVE to do.

~ it doesn't take a lot of energy or will power to keep your mind fixed on something that really grabs you - but it is VERY difficult to stay focused positively on what you DON'T really want.

~ the Law of Increase which shows us that every being is either growing or dying, either moving onward and upward, or falling back and stagnating.

From Charles Filmore's Prosperity - The Principle of Infinite Expansion is "the principle of never-ceasing growth and development of God's perfect idea that is firmly fixed in all Creation." Wallace also calls it God, the Universe, the Formless, the Infinite, Supreme Intelligence, etc...use whatever works for you.

This perfect idea makes itself known is through your natural gifts and talents, through the things you LOVE to do.
The things that you're naturally good at, the activities that lift you up and carry you along so that it almost seems effortless at times. The things you'd often rather do than eat or sleep. The activities that bring you more than just momentary pleasure -- they fill you with real joy and peace.

Many of us lose touch with that joy as the years go by. We "settle down," we fall into a routine, we grow up and give up our dreams. Sometimes we get talked out of them or shamed out of them or worse. Sometimes we just decide to be what people call sensible or practical or responsible. Sometimes we don't even notice they've slipped away.

We do it for reasons we think are reasonable, for money, security, so many reasons - according to our programs.

Do the choices you make, make you happy? If not, then you are not following your greatest purpose.
When we get out of touch, disconnected from our nature, from the earth, each other and especially ourselves.. we lose sight of what out highest purpose is. It's important to think and be conscious of the choices we make. We make millions of them everyday.. everything we think about, everything we do. Are yours making you happy?

You give your LIFE to everything you give your time to.

Floating and Sandstorms

"Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine. ...

.
.. And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about." ~ Haruki Murakami - Kafka On The Shore

There are so many different ways to make cultured and fermented foods.
In this video, Sandor Katz shows making sauerkraut the easiest way ever.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am just in from 2 long days testing a multitude of desserts. I can honestly say I have never eaten so much raw dessert, or any dessert, before! Than was crazy!!

..and speaking of crazy. I just want to take a minute here to express my huge and overwhelming gratitude and appreciation for EVERYTHING. everything, everything, everything. the good, the bad, the works.. I am in love with the world, I am in love with you and in love with me. everything, all, todo!

Peace and Love and have the Happiest Thanksgiving Ever!! xo

ps. I had a dream in Spanish 2 nights ago, that was so cool!! ; )

Love, Raw food, Puzzles and Spanish

Hi. I just thought I would come and leave a personal note. I have been taking lots of 'me' time lately. in between my projects.. the biggest of which is developing recipes for a very exciting and new raw restaurant coming soon.. but we are keeping it under wraps for now.. its exciting and I would love, having a raw blog and all, to share the excitement and developments with you.. but one day soon. I am really excited by all the creative people working and building the raw lifestyle into a more natural way of living. ..giving it exposure, doing all the studies to show how beneficial it is, living it and giving living proof of what a beautiful way of living it is, and also to those of us who develop recipes to help make it a delicious and exciting way of life also.

My 2nd love these days is Spanish, which I am immersing myself into whenever I get a chance to. I have a pile of books and courses here from the library, I love the library. Love that I can just order books and Dvd's and cd's online and 2 days later go and them all up - it's the little things. Patiently working my way through them. I understand a lot..but hard to imagine myself speaking ~although I do, of course, because thats the way that one day I will~ and that will be exciting. !!! still, hard to imagine. I always had a hard time with languages, my brother was so natural at picking up foreign languages.. probably knows some of about 30 of them. They always seemed so foreign and intimidating to me.. so its a really exciting thing. I am curious why I picked Spanish.. my brother really urged me to learn French. And even though it seems like the thing I should do, I'm Canadian, it doesn't click with me. Spanish does. And I am really excited to find out one day, why I am putting so much effort into learning it. I love that in life when the pieces come together and you realize why you did the things you did earlier. Life is such a fun puzzle, a puzzle of love! Besos y Aberazos and Blueberries and Watermelon and lots of great books!! xo

Dr Brian Clement - Notes

I was at a Brian Clement lecture a couple weeks ago and am just coming across a few notes I took.. which is always good for motivation, to reread. He has Immense knowledge!!

Brian is director of the Hippocrates Health Institute. Almost anyone here reading will know who he is. If you dont, ..and are interested in health or healing - check him out!! definitely.

ok, here goes:

Oxygen (note the big font!) It's all about the oxygen!
- purifies water
- helps increase brain and body function
Every cells main food is oxygen.

We get the most oxygen from the water we drink!

Raw vegan foods contain lots of oxygen in their cellular structure, which is mainly derived from photosynthesis.
Sun energy, through photosynthesis, cleans out carbon and creates the life blood of the plants in the cells of their leaves.
Raw foods have the ability to send oxygen to our cells.

Animals exhaust this oxygen in the process of digestion and lactation, and we receive no additional oxygen from meat or dairy. (in fact oxygen gets used from your body in digesting these.. and they are usually cooked, which again robs more oxygen)

It is best to consume food with the most sunshine.
Sun creates Life - All of the life on Earth!

ok, going to get a green smoothie!! see, motivation! ..and I'll be right back with more - & pics! : )

Hi, back.. : )

We ave become so deficient in nutrients, we have devolved to a point where we can live on recycled oxygen and nutrients. We can live on much less than in the past. If we had too many nutrients we would pass out.

Turmeric - for: Dementia, MS, every known type of cancer.. Everything except making you fly. (he mentioned turmeric numerous times - I've been on it!! )

Sprouts and leafy greens are the only plant foods rich in both oxygen and iron.

Most visible way to quickly receive and increase oxygen level in the body: Exercise!!
12% of muscle comes from fat, it takes 7-8x as long to build muscle if you are very thin.

Raw foods will make you conscious. Find a way to enter consciousness through: meditation, exercise, food.
Cheese, meat, soda makes you unconscious.
Alcohol, high sugar, junk foods ..make you more unconscious.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy!! Cells think on their own. (check mitochondria - 'cellular power plants') ..going into hyperbaric chamber the body feels lke it is going under sea level. After 40 years of rresearch they have discvered that 11 1/2 - 12 ' under sea level is the perfect level (for healing). Go under 1' and body starts to think its going to die.. cells are created in bone marrow...... more

Garlic Oil - The most disinfectant thing ever for an open wound.

Saunas! (yes!!)

In cold climates, crack windows open in winter. Get ozone generators in homes. We get much less oxygen. People live an average of 3-5 years less in colder climates because of oxygen deprivation.

Hawaii has a very high oxygen level.


NASA has created effective technology using oxygen to clean pollution.

Grow plants at home - They produce oxygen, digest carbon.
Nothing is more important than oxygen.

Everyone needs vit B12 (he suggested Garden of Life - vegan)

We get sick emotionally first .. & esp from having no spiritual life.

Digestive Enzymes!!! Most people require digestive enzymes. He takes 20/day for anti aging!!
