more of this and that


it feels so good to be alive, healthy and free.  this feeling of Love & Gratitude.
i woke up this morning feeling so light, renewed and content.
nothing making a sound besides the rain and the wind that just keeps on coming
today is the day to relax & to be IN-JOY, to give thanks & blessings

i am so very grateful for all of my family, friends & positive people i haven't met yet.

i am grateful to be here at Living Light learning what my soul needed. 

i am grateful to have an amazing man in my life that supports me, encourages me and Loves me endlessly no matter what.

i am grateful for my Mom & Dad who had done that for me my entire life. (that made me cry)

i am SO grateful to be having weekly conversations with Taylor & Cody.

i am blessed.

thank you Spirit  






i love these pictures i am sharing on this blog today.  
the first one is showing a single tree,
 surrounded by green grass, getting through the storm 
and seeing the sun break through the clouds.  
that really spoke to me this morning.
the mermaid is so peaceful and reminds me to go with the flow and 
notice the beauty along the way...

maybe i am feeling so blissed out the past two days is because i have been eating
100% ORGANIC LIVE FOOD.
i just have to say this....the last two nights a few of other LL students and i have gone out dancing to LIVE MUSIC and i mean the kind of dancing that gets the heart rate up and moves every part of the body....
well, after the night of sweating is when i really feel the difference.
all those stored up toxins are being pushed out
and released! 
close to feeling like i could fly!
i know sweating can be achieved by working out or a sauna, 
but there is something to LIVE MUSIC that sets the soul free when you let it.

i have 5 more days left of Chef training!  
i am really looking forward to this week ahead.
it's really about bringing everything i have learned in the past two weeks into action.  
that is...i have a "Demo" of my own to do in front of the class.  
(just a little nervous)
speaking to groups of people is not first on my list of things i want to do, 
 it is very close to the last thing i want to do.
it's so silly when i think about it, there is really no reason
why i should resist this.
i will embrace this and go with the flow, huh.

last week was a lot of hands on classes with some 
recipe development and team building opportunities throughout the day.
friday evening we prepared a 4 course dinner and 
served it to ourselves and a few of the teachers.
followed by that we had a talent show called
"Letuce entertain you".  i had no idea that i was taking this training with
some very talented and SUPER funny people.
it was a really nice way to get to have some light fun together.
we all had a great time & a nice way to end two weeks (14 days straight) of training!

yesterday, a few of us went to Mendocino in the POURING RAIN THAT NEVER STOPS!!!
we went to our favorite health food store Corners of the Mouth
if you are ever up this way it is a must see place.  
(have i said that before?) 
ah, another shop we found had ALL ORGANIC clothing, shoes and such.  it's called twist.
we came back to inn and Master Chef Felix was in the kitchen preparing food for 
a party we are having for him (he is leaving for Hawaii), i jumped at the
opportunity to assist him.
he is MAGIC with food and it's just enlightening to be near him.
he taught me so much yesterday, i had a pen & paper right beside me
the whole time, writing down endless combinations he comes up with.
the thing i love is that he Loves to share & teach.
so, we had the party, i took pictures too.  i will post most of them on myspace for you to see
the food was some of the best food i have ever tasted.

anyway, i just wanted to share some of my experiences with you 
and let you know how great i am feeling.

wishing you a Blessed day

much LOVE
