Raw food at whole foods

They had a sufficiant Living Foods section at the whole foods
headquarters in Austin, Texas.
I tried the mock sour cream, zuchini hummus, and the cashew cabbage
slaw. All very tasty.

But The Best Part of the whole foods extravaganza experience is how
nice everyone is. They smile and greet you, and even say, good bye
y'all!

Living Raw

Hi everyone,
I'm out of hiding and ready to blog for the first time. It's quite a moment of my integration process because - THIS MORNING I FOUND MY COMMITMENT TO LIVING RAW! Sure there's story to it, but basically, it's just more of the same - over & over & over and I can no longer continue to swing back and forth. I see the complacency in my life is caused by not taking a stand.
OH MY GOD . . . no wonder life has been such a struggle. It's finally clear.
Love to you all, Kendra

sad sad sad
turns to happy overnight

sad sad sad

sad sad green
growing over you

happy comes
happy goes
tricks and treats
catching raindrops in my mouth

sad sad sad
sad sad sad blue
sad sad green
growing over you

The Failing U.S. Economy is Not a Financial Problem, It's a Health Problem

Interesting article:

Thought this was interesting...I can see where the co-op is needed and what additional services we can provide. People will be in search for a new education on health. We can start the new collective voice with public announcements, etc.

There's a Party in My Tummy

"The first time I met Trungpa Rinpoche was with a class of fourth graders who asked him a lot of questions about growing up in Tibet and about escaping from the Chinese Communists into India. One boy asked him if he was ever afraid. Rinpoche answered that his teacher had encouraged him to go places like graveyards that scared him and to experiment with approaching things he didn't like. Then he told a story about traveling with his attendants to a monastery he'd never seen before. As they neared the gates, he saw a large guard dog with huge teeth and red eyes. It was growling ferouciously and struggling to get free from the chain that held it. The dog seemed desperate to attach them. As Rinposche got closer, he could see its blueish tongue and spittle spraying from its mouth. They walked past the dog, keeping their distance, and entered the gate. Suddenly the chain broke and the dog rushed at them. The attendants screamed and froze in terror. Tinpoche turned and ran as fast as he could –– straight at the dog. The dog was so surprised that he put his tail between his legs and ran away.

....The spiritual journey involves going beyond hope and fear, stepping into unknown territory, continually moving forward. THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF BEING ON THE SPIRITUAL PATH MAY BE TO JUST KEEP MOVING. Usually, when we reach our limit, we feel exactly like Rinpoche's attendants and freeze in terror. Our bodies freeze and so do our minds."

--When Things Fall Apart by Pema Chodron

the paths of the heart

…For me there is only the traveling on the paths that have a heart, on any path that may have a heart.

--The Teachings of Don Juan, Carlos Castaneda, 1968

*****

You see, the path of the heart is not a road of incessant introspection or mystical flight, but a way of engaging the joys and sorrows of the world. This world, where each one of us is related at molecular levels to every other wondrous and dynamic manifestation of being…

Eventually I saw—I saw—that the path of the heart requires a full gesture, a degree of abandon that can be terrifying. Only then is it possible to achieve a sparkling metamorphosis.

--Portrait of a Sorcerer: An Interview with Carlos Castaneda, Keith Thompson, New Age Journal March/April, 1994

My eye

The candida is staring at me face to face and it's now exema under my
eyes. It's what I have to face, everytime I look in the mirror I'm
staring at the enemy. You know how they say, keep your friends close
and your enemies even closer, I guess this is why. No where to hide.
Just the truth.

Look at what I saw at the airport!

So adorable.

why lifethyme market sucks

Check this out. This is a raw harvest pie (which by the way doesn't even taste that good) next to roasted chickens which are inexplicably in the raw section. Do you wanna buy your raw dish next to some dead bird?
Who made this brilliant layout decision in the store?
