a culinary return to Mother Earth


Today I woke up more refreshed than I have felt in a long time. This raw foods diet/lifestyle is really making a HUGE difference in the amount of energy I have, which is in turn impacting my inner and outer joy, peace, and enthusiasm for life. I simply cannot stop smiling - and yes, it is a beautiful day, yes, many universal changes are occurring simultaneously, but I can't help but attribute some of my attitude and energetic changes to my change in diet! Now I feel a deeper connection to the earth, and I feel healthier. Only 4 days in, but I want to effect this change permanently, as the benefits have manifested immediately. For those of you who know me, I realize I have been raving about raw foods nonstop for the past week - but hear me out - blend this smoothie for breakfast one morning: one banana, 8 strawberries, cup of organic almond milk, two tablespoons of raw almond butter, and a handful of spinach leaves. The best start to your morning EVER! It is delicious and revitalizing! I highly encourage trying out the raw foods thing - I feel it helps to connect body, mind, and soul - I think it is true that "you are what you eat" as they say, therefore your level of happiness and esteem is directly tied to what you eat, how healthy you are, and how your body feels - none of the parts of who you are is separate! It's easy to forget this - but if you can effect such great change in your life by returning to the earth and taking better care of your body, your self-confidence will improve, leading to more positive thinking and nurturing your mind, and then in turn calming your soul. And so the cycle continues.

I love you all!
