I am currently "enjoying" my green detox smoothie- if it weren't so chunky it would actually be good, but the chunk is making it a little less bearable. I guess it would be worth having a super blender but the cost is a little much at this point. I have to eat it with a spoon as it is too thick. I am so looking forward to this 60 day 100% raw and can not wait to see what sorts of results I get! On a completely different topic, today I received a call from my sister and was told mygrandfather has had a heart attack and likely will pass on in the next few days. He is in his 80's and has lived with obesity and diabetes for at least 20 years. I feel very sad for him, for my grandmother and for my father and all those who love him.

Hello Nath and HAPPY BIRTHDAY best friend!
ReplyDeleteSo, happy you shared this with me. I think it is wonderful that you are pursuing your writing. It feels good, when I witness you, feeling good.
I wanted to share a few quotes with you, for your page, as it seems to be fitting with some of your journaling.
"Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question . . . Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you." By Carlos Castaneda
There comes a time when the pain of continuing exceeds the pain of stopping. At that moment, a threshold is crossed. What seemed unthinkable becomes thinkable. Slowly, the realization emerges that the choice to continue what you have been doing is the choice to live in discomfort, and the choice to stop what you have been doing is the choice to breathe deeply and freely again. Once that realization has emerged, you can either honor it or ignore it, but you cannot forget it. What has become known can not become unknown again. By Gary Zukav
Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. From A Course in Miracles
I love you and look forward to reading more about your Raw Journey. Maybe you'll even inspire me to follow pursuit! Wouldn't that be something!

Oh Yeah, almost forgot to mention....have you tried the "Dr. Oz" version of the green drink?
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty smooth! Hope you like it! Here's the recipe....
Dr. Oz Green Drink Recipe
2 apples, cored
2 big handfuls of spinach
1/2 cup of chopped parsley
1 celery stick, chopped
1 thumbnail length of ginger root, peeled
1 lemon - juice only (use peel slice for zest)
1 medium cucumber
Place ingredients in a blender, add 4 oz. spring water or a handful of ice cubes, then puree quickly for one minute. Makes two glasses of Dr. Oz’s green drink.
The green drink has a strong taste and if you are used to drinking soda or sweet tea, the taste will take some getting used to. Dr. Oz suggests adding other items at first to sweeten the green drink to your taste.
Green drink – Optional ingredients:
2nd cucumber
raw carrot
unsweetened fruit juice
banana
