what a difference GREENS make


i am a  juicing Queen the last 10 days using almost all green foods like, celery, kale, cucumber, green apple, swiss chard,  cabbage, dandylion and fresh herbs like  parsley, cilantro, mint, water crest and green lettuces like arugala and mustard greens and at least a half a pound of fresh local organic spinach a day!!!  also added to the mix is Spirilina (natures first food) which i have pretty much come to really LOVE!  the combinations of all these foods varies depending on my mood and what sounds great at the time.  i also add meyer lemons, garlic and ginger and a carrot here and there for fun.  ...oh what fun...

how do i feel?  i feel much happier, healthier and balanced with my body.  the greens and extra juicing have put me back on track with where i wish to go.  
the cloud over my head is totally gone and i am eager to get back up on the fitness program this week. i feel the knee injury from the car accident has had enough time to heal.
emotionally, the juicing helped me to recover there as well and i am very thankful!  
since i cut out the yerbe matte (stimulant), i have noticed that makes a difference in keeping my energy level at a more even flow.  there for a while i noticed a slight addiction/reliance on the effects that it had on getting me going in the morning.  while the first 3 days of juicing i slept a couple of hours less each night and felt more rested and could easily move through the morning on herbal tea alone.  yeah for that!
the holiday blues have turned into motivation and inspiration to be creative to use what i have to make gift for my friends and family this year.  
i am SOOOOO grateful that i had a long conversation with taylor tonight on the phone.  he is so smart and so amazing to talk to.  he got a little care package ready to mail me tomorrow.  he included a book report he did for school, school pictures and dirt biking pictures of cody that he printed off of myspace and cut out and a piece of orgami.  so cute.  i pray i receive it well. i love my babies so much and i am holding onto hope and saying a prayer tonight that i will get to see them the year for christmas.  i can visualize and  feel what that will be like.  i will call diane (grandma) tomorrow and see if something, anything can be arranged.  
on other matters, i am grateful for my job providing me with the money i require to go to living light and study raw food.  i am manifesting another $800 dollars in the next 9 days to finish paying off my tuition.  however that comes to me fairly, i am open to.  i know that living light is where i am to be next month and i acknowledge the process i have to go through to get there.  i am grateful for the opportunity.
that's pretty much all i have for tonight i am ready to indulge in the Anastasia book i am reading.
much LOVE
