Written by Herbert Hoover and taken from this article I just read on the history of previous financial disasters of our country and commentary on the current crisis.  An interesting read..

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to all.

Today Stevie and I set out for the Kripalu Institute for a 3 day retreat in search of peace,  harmony and inner calmness.

Giving thanks for all we have, all we can have, all we have had.  One beauty of life it that it is always changing, manifesting, dynamic and awesome.   Go with the flow, create the reality you want.

If you see the world as a happy loving place, then thats where you are going to live.  But if you see the world as messed up, negative, and dangerous place, then that will be your reality.“  Having been drinking lemon juice/maple syrup/cayenne pepper juju juice now for 4 days… aka the Master Cleanse …do I see the world as a happier, more loving place? Perhaps.   The recommended time is 10 days, but recommendations aside my belly is currently aching, the spritual journay has happened and life is too short to deprive oneself of God given gifts of nutrients!!  So after writing this post, straight to the grocery store I go, 4 new recipes in hand!  Has it been beneficial?  I feel so…  the re-realization of how much time we spend thinking about, preparing and eating food and the refocus on healthy eating going forward, being more contemplative and focused,   the caffeine habit kicked.  (until perhaps tomorrow morning )   So go for it if you feel you are in a rut, need a change of pace, simply want to try something different.

Coming off a wonderful 2 day energy/healing/intuition  workshop in Vermont at the house of Dagny St. John my teacher and close friend, I had the luxury of sharing with 3 other spectacular, incredible individuals Julie, Jorie and Ashley many sweet moments of life.  I feel the urge to begin writing again.  Life offers so much… the ability to create your own reality, to reach for the stars, to be a star… how easy it is to fall into habitual habits, not necessarily always bad habits but simply habits in general. It seems to be the way of society, but is it necessarily the way of the human spirit and the Inner Being that resides within us all.  The universe, the population as a whole is on the verge of something exciting. The hope instilled by this US presidential election demonstates the energy and power of life, action, purpose.    Positive thinking, change the routine, do just one thing different and see how you feel. Free will and tap into your universal energy.
