Get Passionate About What You Believe!

Yesterday's Springtime Elixirs:
Exercise:
15 minutes on the Needak rebounder mini-trampoline: This exercise is the one fully detoxifying form of exercise. It clears out the lymph, blood and organ system.
Breakfast/Lunch:
Smoothie with 2 oranges, 1 kiwi, 6 strawberries and 3 stalks of celery (and water)!

Dinner:
salad with Lacinato kale, red leaf lettuce, fennel, carrot, red pepper, broccoli and alfalfa sprouts
dressing of 1 tablespoon tahini, a little Red River chickpea miso, 1 teaspoon stone ground mustard and some apple cider vinegar
5 Black Sphinx Dates, Mount Grove, Arcadia - from the Phoenix-Sedona area: These dates were recommended and sent to me by my friend (and colleague) Julie out in Sedona. They are small and melt in your mouth like caramel. Julie uses them as the center stuffing of caramel when she makes raw chocolate turtles; YUM!

Today's Menu:
Breakfast:
16 oz. of Springtime Wake up! with 2 apples and a large jumbo handful of spinach (and water)
Exercise:
Fabulous Anusara Yoga Class
Lunch:
32 oz. of Springtime Stay Awake! (same as breakfast)
1 large, luscious mango

I have to share this video with my readers. If you are sad, if you are blue, just watch this video of Storm Talifero speaking about junk food. It's my new tool to make me laugh every day. I just love it, and cannot watch it without saying something out loud. I agree with every word Storm says and love the way he says it all in just over one minute.
If any of you remember the TV show "Sanford & Son," this might make you think of it.

The thing is, though, what Storm is speaking passionately about is painfully true; make sure you listen to when he talks about the shining light directing Ritalin to children.
"Storm Talifero has been a raw-vegan for over 38 years. He is the author of “The Garden Diet” and producer of “Breakthrough” a raw vegan documentary. He currently lives in the Los Padres National forest north of Los Angeles, where he is working on his next film and still driving to Santa Barbara twice a week to shop at the farmer’s market so he can keep his family supplied with the best raw organic fresh fruits and vegetables available."
Storm and his wife Jinjee, another raw warrior, have a fabulous raw retreat center in California.
