So, I am not really sure how many days I am in now. I have been doing really well. Juicing is messy though! I accidentally dropped 2 quarts of juiced carrots+apples & my kitchen looked like a crime scene.
Either way, I've dropped some lbs, which is nice, but the fast is making me much more aware of the power of some of my problems with my body image. I am going to try to take it easy on myself & just be happy at least I am reintroducing raw foods into my life again.
Meanwhile, my grand…

So, I am back! I'll fill anyone in that wants to know.
I moved to my home state of Mississippi from Seattle, which has been interesting to say the least. I lost my job as an architect in January 2009 & since I had only a single income, I decided to move back home to weather the storm.
The blessing is: I am sitting my grandmother a minimum of three nights a week. She is homebound (well, other than occasional trips to the hospital). I feel really blessed to have this time with her. I suffere…

Going through old journals & remembering what I value is not something that can be bought or sold.
Remembering when I made almost $60,000 a year I was the most miserable.
Remembering falling asleep with my backpack as my pillow, penniless & not a worry around me.
Feeling love from the crazy man on the corner when I walk to the grocery. He always tells me I am beautiful & God bless. How can that be bad.

So, I found a jounral form last year. A woman who is an amazing rendere…

Yeah, I'm unemployed. I have not been happy in architecture since, well, I started in architecture.
So...in the meantime, I am hopefully (grrr) receiving unemployment, making spiffy crafty stuff for etsy (yes, I will shameless nudge you guys to buy my stuff since my rent is late), maybe get a normie job one the economy stops going straight to hell & (drumroll) go back to school.
I think I am gonna go back to school for art therapy. Pretty cool, huh? I always wanted to do it, so why not.
M…

Hey everyone!
My internet connection disappeared for a couple days. I have been rearranging my furniture. I've decided to get everything uber organized in order to paint & strip the carpet.
I have retro, stained carpet & my landlord doesn't really care what I do. My man is a carpenter/artist, so he thinks it would be fun to pull up. I am thinking about getting some laminate flooring from Ikea in a few weeks, but that depends on my green situation. No, not kale...moolah.
Anyway, I boug…

I had a beautiful dream last night. I was balanced & slim. I was glowing & healed. I was happy & nurturing. I was successful & beautiful. I was loving & loved.
I was tying a wrap dress. It had dark, thick trim & was one continuous piece of fabric. It was cream with a floral pattern. My hair was lo…

Yeah, back on track. It's a 100 day journey. I am going on the road less traveled, through the woods...facing the monsters, demons & witches. It's a harder road. Some days I will fail. Some days I will be weak. Today I won the battle with myself to be proactive & healthy.
So, here's what I got at the grocery. I LOVE me some grocery outlet. Yeah, I said it. I am a cheap chick. I am broke & it's produce from grocery outlet or nothing else. It's ridiculous how much money I saved.
Groc…

So, this one is short and sweet. Life is not always easy & today has been a tough day.
Instead of complaining & crying I will post a gratitude list:
I am grateful for...
My super cool kitty, Bella. She is really sweet today.
My blue eyes.
My electric fleece blanket even though it is a slow killer with this EM…

Hi everyone!
Quick post...
I am feeling great! Full of energy & feeling electric again. I love feeling clear, light and cleansed.
I am just so grateful my first stage of detox has passed. It was rough emotionally, and I am sure it will come in waves, but whew...I made it to day 6!
Today was wonderful.
I had a rawma bar & banana for lunch. I snacked on nuts & had another banana in the afternoon. Of course I drank my coffee! Oh well, I am doing great for a beginner.
I decided to…

Ok, so I go to Madison Market, and I like it, but I always felt MM is more about how cool the place is versus just being healthy. I dunno. I am not a member, but I love the idea. It is really freaking expensive & I can't afford it. I prefer farmer's markets, local markets, Trader Joe's & PCC.
Anyway here is what I bought.
For my body:
Dr. Bronner's Lavendar Magic Soap - Kevin usually gets this for me & we were out
Tea Tree Deodorant without aluminum
Pure Organic - Tea Tree Shampoo…
