Juice Feasting Day 31!!!

   I LOVE JUICE SOOOO MUCH!!!! 

 I LOVE THIS EXTREME ALIVE FEELING I FEEL ALL OVER MY BODY!!!

there is so many flavors in a juice.  today i feasted on some of the best juices.  the mix...lime, lemon, cucumber, celery, big GREEN leaves, cilantro, tomato, garlic, ginger, beets and greens with a bit of dandylion and parsley.  one of the quarts i added hemp oil and kelp.  YUMMY!!!

all the produce LOCAL & ORGANIC!!!

i am still CRAVING the ORANGES & bee pollen.  everyday i am having 3-4 quarts of green juice and at least one quart of orange with spirulina and bee pollen.

at day 29 i started a coffee enema at home.  that was an effective use of a great healing tool.  i experienced great satisfaction and relief from minor sluggishness right away.  i felt like a new me.  i will do those whenever needed.

on other juice feasting news i had SO much balanced energy throughout the weekend.  friday night i was out with friends until 430 in the morning dancing then had 2 hours of sleep before i woke up to get ready for the raw food class i taught on saturday.  i didn't miss a beat, i was ready to go and give that my best and i did.  the class was SO MUCH FUN!!!! i am looking forward to planning another one soon.  i had 5 ladies attend on saturday.

after the class i had to jam to get to work and then i served 40 people dinner and was done about 930pm, just in time to be picked up again and taken to a reggae show to dance the night away.  that is where my honey met me and he carried me half asleep back to his place around 1am and put me to bed for a very enjoyable nights rest.

so for those people who think that juice feasting means no energy for fun...it's the opposite.  i have so much energy i have to be out having fun to use it!!!

the last time i blogged i mentioned that i was going to deliver Cody's birthday present to his house.  well i drove out there, no one was home so i had to leave it at their grandpa's office.  i didn't get to see my boys this time.  i am very proud of myself for driving out there and making the attempt though.  that is a really big step for me.

well i have to end this blog for now.

Much Love

Juice Feasting Day 28!!!

i am so touched by the on line class for A NEW EARTH by ECKHART TOLLE & OPRAH.

i watched monday nights class last night in AW & WOW's.  being fed this teaching while juice feasting and at this moment in my life right now is such a gift.  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

juice feasting is flowing along. i am feeling in the juice feasting groove as far as ordering & organizing all the produce into my little tiny house & small bar cooler, making the juice and taking care of all of my detoxing needs with ease.  my body & i are REALLY getting to know one another and that is something i have not remembered ever experiencing.  dream time is so ALIVE.  my heart is wide open.  mother earth is LOVING all of the compost.    ZERO TRASH created and i don't know if this has anything to do with the juice feast but my cat onyx and i have bonded so much over the past month.  maybe she is just so happy to be let outside.  last week she brought in a hummingbird present to show how much she loves me.  right now she has been loving all over me since we woke up.  i know she has food in her bowl this is just extra affection.

i am happy to report that i think i tackled the flea issue head on before it got out of hand.  i ended up with only a dozen or so bites on my body.  i remedied the situation by washing all the bedding and coating the carpet in SALT and spraying my tiny house down with Lemon, Lavender & Eucalyptus oil....i even spray my body down after i shower.  onyx got the spray too.....at night the bed gets sprayed before i lay down.  i am mentioning this because there is another way....to avoid any uses of chemicals & to get rid of the fleas in my house.  the natural approach has done the trick and so far so good.  much less expensive too.  it's flea season here, and if anyone reading this has to deal with fleas here are other options besides toxic chemicals that cost a lot!!!

today is my son CODY'S BIRTHDAY!!!  he is 15 years old today.   WOW!!!  i will be calling him in just a little bit and i am feeling like i am a super hero today so i will drive out to the ayers compound and bring his gifts, card and balloons to the door myself.  the power is in the present moment and i will bring that teaching from last night with me while i go.  BE PRESENT.  if i could enlist a trusting friend to go with me i would do that too, just to be a witness but it's too last minute and super hero's  can act alone at times too.

so with that said i am going to start getting ready for the big adventures for the day.  i am grateful to a friend who has lent me her car today to make the drive to deliver the easter & birthday gifts to cody & taylor and pick up the weekly order of LOCAL PRODUCE that came through from the farmers.  

please say a prayer for me and my boys.  

much LOVE

Juice Feasting Day 23!!!

this is where i desire to be really soon.  camping & hiking up the coast for a little nature get away.  all i want to do is roll around in the earth and feel the sun shining all over my body, hear the oceans rhythm and make wishes upon the stars.  

as i sit here tonight typing this blog i am looking at the big full moon.  it is a beautiful light yellow color.  i feel it....

i am enjoying nature to the fullest and all of the beauty it shares.

juice feasting is flowing along very nicely.  enjoying the ritual part of it everyday.  making the 4 quarts a day has become a breeze.  the types of juices that are coming together are turning out really good.  a favorite the past two days.....ROMAINE, CUCUMBER, CELERY, LEMON, GARLIC, RED BELL PEPPER, & LOTS OF CILANTRO with some kelp & cayanne.

a shift of where the produce is coming from will happen this week.  i have decided to 

GO LOCAL with the JUICE FEASTING JOURNEY and gather up all of the produce i possibly can from the local organic farmers i am surrounded by.  i am done picking up cases from the co-op when i can get perfectly GREAT produce from farmers market down the street.  makes sense right?

a detox reaction i had last night REALLY SURPRISED me.....wanna hear it????  of course you do or you would not be reading this right?

well i was at work and i kept smelling a strong cigarette oder following me, for a while i could not place the smell.  then about 30 minutes into the pondering i looked down at my right hand and fingers and smelt them and that is the smell....tar or nicotine coming out of my fingers!!!!  it was coming right out of the cracks of my first 3 fingers!!!  i had to run to my co-worker just to get confirmation that this is really happening!!!  he confirmed it and looked at what was happening in amazement!  i quite smoking August 11th of last year and i went 3 years smoking cigarettes.  my body is really cleaning house right now!!!

so that was really exciting to see.  a sign, this is worth it!!! MY BODY LOVES ME!!!!

i am going to end this blog for tonight.  i can't wait to pick up the new book i am reading called

A NEW EARTH by ECKART TOLLE.  I am watching their on line class and i am getting ready to hear tomorrow nights talk.

LOVE TO ALL!!!

Juice Feasting Day 18!!!

the picture was taken yesterday for my NEW CLASS FLYER I MADE!!!! March 29th my FIRST LIVE FOOD CLASS here in CAMBRIA!!!!

i am sitting here sipping one of my favorite juices (ORANGE, GINGER & SPIRULINA) in bed wearing super comfy pj's experiencing such a painful back ache on my right side.  it's ok, i am getting through it and i am just so amazed that this back pain is showing up for me right now.  i think i know what it is from. i am going to share because i feel no shame and i am pretty certain that this is really what is going on.  the point of blogging for me is to be truthful, inspiring and OPEN w/o judgement.  so, this pain reminds me of the same back pain i experienced when i was addicted drugs a few years ago.  i have been drug free for well over 3 years now and i haven't had this kind of pain since then until now.  so one of the main reasons for me to be doing this cleanse is to HELP TO HEAL MY BODY of ALL THE DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY DRUGS....  not only the illegal drugs but the ones i have been prescribed throughout my life for many many different things.  on top of that, the drinking of alcohol (i rarely did that) and the 3 years of smoking cigarettes.

so NOW my body is CLEANING HOUSE....it is getting rid of all the built up toxins and all those cells are happily rebuilding themselves to be healthier and more pure than ever.   this is my take on the back pain.  there you have it,  it's out now.  i am not ashamed, i do not judge myself it is what it is.

onto other fun stuff to share with you....the morning walks through the forest the past three mornings have been a pure delight for me going solo and practicing walking meditation.  this morning i took my i pod and listened to Michael Franti & Spearhead and the music actually made me run up the hill for a moment.  the deer, rabbits and birds were all out to greet me this morning.  the rays from the sunrise through the fog were magical and i felt uplifted from it all.  cambria is beautiful for sure!

onyx is on the go now.  i have been letting her go out a couple of hours a day.  she's just so happy about being able to be free.  i understand.  she is feeling much better & continues to eat grass...oh well, as long as she is happy.  

oh, yes, thanks to Rich, i had my first ORGANIC COCONUT and now that is all i will ever drink again.  no more asian coconuts.  no thank you.  now i can taste the poison and unnaturalness in them.  so what if they are 2 dollars more.  if i am going to put it in my body it has to be organic.

this weeks case order from the co-op was great!  ORGANIC  dandylions, kale, celery, pink lady apples.  at farmers market i bought SO MANY FRESH LOCAL BUNCHES OF GREENS, cucumbers, garlic.  the amazing organic citrus stand down the street continues to supply me with THE BEST MEYER LEMONS, ORANGES & LIMES!!!!  The vita-mix nut bag trick is getting so fast, i have the whole thing down now.  making my juice in the mornings has become a routine that i enjoy.

i haven't been able to leave the fruit alone.  i am sticking with the fruit for a while longer.  i am too happy with the oranges and apples.  blueberry season here is just a couple of weeks away.  my berry bushes at my front door just got their blossoms.  so yeah, not giving up the fruit just yet.  oh, yeah, i just remembered the strawberries too.  yummy.  a figure that as long as i get in all my greens and water i am good to go with a little fruit a day.

well, i am ending this now.  i am onto watching eckart tolle and oprah at oprah.com.

MUCH LOVE, LIGHT AND JOY TONIGHT!!!

Juice Feasting Day 15!!!

I have been feeling pretty incredible  the last few days.  I can defiantly feel some shifts happening in me and around me.

I have had a ton of energy and a sense of peace too.

Nothing really new to report.  

Oh other than a successful visit to the colon hydrotheropist!

I will be nice and spare the details!

Onyx (my cat) has been really sick but i think she is getting better.  maybe she is taking on my detox symptoms for me because i sure haven't been feeling a whole lot in the detox department of the juice feast.

honestly, the only cravings i have had came today when i was looking at all the food i was serving people.  i felt little urges to eat a small bite of something but that all passed really quickly and i enjoy my juice so much more and this great feeling of being free from all that "food" stuff!

this is it for me tonight.  i am ready for bed!

much LOVE & yes i am very much ALIVE!!!

Juice Feasting Day 12!!!

all i can say today is WOW!  a steady release of exciting, positive and extremely productive energy has flowed through me today.  i woke up happy and ready to begin the beautiful day i have off from work.  i had no particular plan and plenty to keep me occupied. 

 

so, i went for a beautiful hill and forest walk, one of my favorite walks with one of my favorite women in my life.  

after the walk/talk we went and got large bags of fresh ORANGES, LIMES, MEYER LEMONS and GRAPEFRUITS right up the road from a local farmer who grows them organically.  the price is outragous....guess how much? LARGE  oranges are 8 for a dollar, limes are 8 for 25 cents, meyer lemons are 6 for 25 cents and i can't remember what the grapefruit.  we felt RICH in CITRUS TODAY!!!  amazing how having fresh ORGANIC PRODUCE can make a girl FEEL SO GOOD!  i told rich last night that the way to my heart these days is easy (truely)  just bring me a coconut!!!  or 4 or 5 or even a case would be great!  ha haha!!

well after the CITRUS adventure we desided to go by the place that bought my totaled car back in November.  we pulled up right next to it and i didn't even recognize it....it's been restored and the guy did such an amazing job that i thought that it was a new car and not mine at all.  he told me that i might be able to buy it back.  the might that stands in the way will get worked out my the universal forces.  if it is meant to be mine again it will come back to me, if not then i am sure to find another car that is meant for me.  i am just happy to see it repaired.

once renee dropped me back off at my house i had a laugh keeping up with myself!!!  i completed one task after another!  i cleaned out so many areas of my house, did laundry, made a new batch of komucha (by the way, GREEN TEA & HONEY DOES MAKE GREAT KOMBUCHA!!!), i played outside in the garden & cleaned up all around my house outside, planted snap dragons, dandy lion seeds & baby kale, caught up on many podcasts while doing all the above & drank all of my GREEN JUICES TODAY!!!  PLUS 3 QUARTS OF WATER!!  Tonight i kept the momentum going and caught up on the juice feasting reading & blog & videos by David & Katrina, the creators of JUICE FEASTING.com.  

last night i did some work on the website and prepared myself for teaching a class March 29th.  this will be my FIRST LIVE FOOD CLASS and i am really ready to begin this here in Cambria.

i am full of gratitude today for things becoming SO EXTREMELY CLEAR to me.  i feel like a CLEAR CHANNEL.  the dreams that have been coming to me EVERY NIGHT are so amazing...i am having so much fun while i sleep i am grateful for that as well.

i feel that this juice feast & going to Living Light were the two best gifts i could possiblely given to myself right now.  

i have to end this for tonight!

MUCH LOVE

Juice Feasting Day 10!!!

i am so jazzed about the juice feasting today!  a happy to be walking the earth alive kind of feeling today.

yesterday was another story and i will write about that in a minute.  both days i had all green juices and one orange, spirilina & bee pollen juice & exercised for over an hour as well.  tonight was nearly 10 minutes rebounding, 20 minutes weight training and an hour of NIA!!!  felt great!  alittle bit of lower back pain of the right side. i am choosing to express this because it is NOT typical for me to have back pain.  is it the kidneys?  could be...

i have scheduled a colonic for thursday and that should help things if it is the kidneys.

the thing i am most thrilled about blogging tonight is that I AM remembering my DREAMS and for two days in a row they have showed up the following day as actually happening.  i am excited about this because i remember this happening when i was young (in my teen years) and it hasn't happened since.

saturday night i dreamt that there was a lot of drama happening at my job and i questioned my position in it and if i should continue working there and if i do what part i would play in it.  my dream had the SAME feeling and i felt yesterday at work when the drama began to happen.  i have a choice to make really soon and i know it.  it IS time to leave my JOB.  it's really interesting that on this juice feast that i have realized that it is VERY DIFFICULT to DO that which i am NOT aligned to do.  i have know for a while that it is time to leave i am just holding on by a very fine piece of thread.  it's a bit of a fear factor for me to just let go and trust that i will be directed to where i am meant to go.  

the other dream was last night and i dreamt that Onyx (my cat) has been plotting on how to get out of the house.  (she has been only indoor since i got her 8 months ago)  then tonight when i got home from the gym she was at the bottom of my stairs outside....she preceded to show me how she got out by running up the stairs ahead of me and jumped through a loose part of the screen back inside.

now what do i do?  she wants outside SO bad and i live on MAIN STREET!!!  she is the sweetest cat ever and i just want to protect her from the stray cats, ticks, fleas & other wild animals.

cool dreaming huh? well this is it for me tonight.  i am craving a shower and a book.

much LOVE

Juice Feasting Day 8!!!

Yeah, week one is behind me and i feel  pretty good overall.  going through some stuff ~ emotionally, MENTALLY, and some physical.

today my honey made my juices for me and i had all green juices that contained....

cucumber, celery, spinach, parsley, water crest, swiss chard, dandy lion and lots of lemon and lime.

and one not so green juice was tomato, basil, spinach & kelp powder (YUMMY)

tonight when i got home i wanted some sweet juice SO bad that i made orange juice & balanced out the sweetness with a tbsp of spirilina & bee pollen.

i am very happy that i got outside a lot today and excersised & got some sun.  that really makes a difference in how i feel.

here's a little info i got from juicefeasting.com tonight regarding green juices...

Green-leafed vegetables are overall the best source of iron; parsley and spinach are particularly high in iron. Greens heal anemia. (Other sources of iron include red-colored fruits, such as watermelon, berries, pome granate, and red-flesh figs).
 
Green-leafed vegetables often do not taste as wonderful as fruits. But eating them nonetheless breaks associations of pleasure with eating, therefore decreasing the possibility of overeating. Green-leafed vegeta bles diminish the enjoyment in eating and act as a natural stop for us in the eating cycle.
 
Where does the cow get its calcium for its milk? From green grass, of course. Now we are not grass eaters, but this analogy is instructive because it demonstrates that all the minerals a cow is constructed from are present in grass - in simple green grass!
 
Green-leafed vegetables are always the best source of heavy minerals: calcium, magnesium, etc. The alkaline minerals in greens balance the acid-forming minerals (sulfur, chlorine, and phosphorus) found in avoca dos, nuts, seeds, onions, garlic, etc.
 
Green-leafy vegetation is also an excellent detoxifier of the liver, espe cially wild green vegetation. Deep green and wild green vegetation binds with heavy metals and chemicals from recreational drugs and allows the body to wash them out as salts through the urine.

i just thought i would share alittle tid bit with you.

this is all i really have tonight.

kinda boring and really want to SLEEEP>>>>>for a LONG TIME!!!

Juice Feasting Day 5!!!

this picture was taken on the eve of the juice feast in the cottage at sycamore mineral springs in avila beach where rich and i celebrated his birthday & our relationship with each other.  

that explains the rare occasion that i drink wine and it was the best glass of wine i have ever had.  Linne Coloda - problem child.

this is a great before picture and i look forward to putting the after right beside it on June 5th.

today is day five....almost through the first week.

i am feeling great, energized and alive.  i do feel the changes begin to take place within my body.

yesterday i had kidney pains in my lower back and the foot pain that has been bothering me for 2 years is acting up again.   as soon as i cleared out the colon this morning the lower back pain went away instantly and i felt great.

the juicer and vita-mix arrived yesterday.  all set up in the kitchen and ready for lots of action.  today, i went back and forth, comparing the difference between juicing with the vita mix & nut bag our using the green star.  they are both GREAT machines and i feel really happy to have them as part of my health for the rest of my life.  i know i will be using them forever and they will get 1000's of hours of use.  

speaking of juice making today i made the same as yesterday and that was.....

LOTS OF GREEN VEGGIE JUICE!!!!

one treat each day was 

ORANGE ~ PINEAPPLE ~ SPINACH ~ SPIRILINA ~ BEE POLLEN!!

um, YUM!!!  careful not to get used to that everyday.  NOT TO BE A HABIT!!

i actually know that i have to end my SUGAR ADDICTION SOON!!!

i knew this clearly at living light and before beginning the feast.  i knew that i just had to start the feast with the best chance possible of staying on it and after 15 days of making it a habit i will cut out the fruit.   SO SAD!!!!

even as i write this i can hear the little candida beings screaming at me through my skin and now they are plotting to take my head over so i can't stop the SUGAR ADDICTION!!

we will see...

today & yesterday i got in 2 walks, one being up bridge street hill and back through the forest, in the dark, wet trails full of POISON OAK!  the other was less gnarly and that was a walk at the cove & on the pier breathing fresh FRESH air and soaking up lots of Vitamin D from the almighty SUN!  i even got the christmas lights off the hoola hoop and gave that a whirl again.  picked right up where i left off.  one of my goals for this feast is to be the best hooper i can be.

well this is it for me and day 5.

much LOVE, HEALTH and HAPPINESS!

Juice Feasting Day 3!!!

i am showered with flowers and lots of love

and that feels GREAT!

i have been following the Juice Feasters plan to the fullest.

To catch you up,  i have been away for a few days....

Every morning i wake up to 1 quart of pure water with meyer lemon & msm.

followed by a shot of e3 live (blue green algae from the kalamath lake) and a  BEAUTIFUL 1- quart veggie drink made with all organic vegetables plus a heaping scoop of vita-mineral greens for fun.

throughout the day i have another 3 quarts of amazing tasting juices that are all different combinations.  

i'll tell you a few juicy details....

on saturday i spent 115.00 on ORGANIC produce and i got 6 cucumber, 6 celery, 2 kale, 1 swiss chard, 10 lbs of spinach, 3 leeks, 5 lbs of apples, 2 cilantro, 2 parsley, 2 dandelion, 5 lbs of carrots, 4 jalapenos, 2 bunch of garlic, 3 red bell pepper, ginger & 8 tomatoes.  this should last me the rest of the week but by the looks of my fridge i don't think i will make it till friday.

my weight that i started the juice feast with is 168.5.  

i plan to do at least an hour of exercise a day.  tonight i did all the weights & Nia for one hour and yesterday i did the ocean/forest walk and soaked up the sun for 30 minutes.  

i also just had a fun time just hanging out and talking with one of my girlfriends tonight.  having a nice girlfriend talk about life and that was soul food for me tonight!  thank you suraya!

overall i am feeling like i am doing the best thing for me right now and i love being in that knowing that all is well and i am supported.

i am sooooo ready for dream time.  they are getting good!

lotsa LOVE
