Coffee Withdrawal. Love and Light.

First day without coffee.  Enjoying a Yogi tea, Ginko Clarity.
The tea bag message - By honoring your words, you are honored.
I am having some coffee withdrawal symptoms, although not as severe as I was expecting.  The worst symptoms are a mild headache, can't hold my eyes open sleepy, and maybe a little depression.  I am a little teary and feeling sorry for myself.  Caffeine withdrawal should only last a few days, and then onward and upward.

Fear comes from the mind.  I want to follow my heart.  When you feel like no one loves you, try to remember that everyone else wants the same thing you want.  They want to feel loved and worthy and valued.  You can help others feel love once you open your own heart to let the love and light shine in.   This means you stop the criticism and brow-beating of yourself first, and then the others.  The answer is always more love.

Natural Hygiene teaches that our best potential  for health and happiness comes from living the simple natural life free of remedies, cures, potions, and pills.  In the same way, our best potential for loving relationships comes when we stop trying and just be authentic.  Live in harmony with Nature and Nature's God.  Let the good energy flow.

Eliminate everything and every situation that does not speak to your heart while at the same time checking to see if fear is persuading you to NOT follow your heart.

Sometimes we have to give up the ideal picture of what we think SHOULD be and accept what is available.  This is the place where we learn and grow and love and experience life.  We make the best of what we have.  Whatever you have, make the best of it.  Things will never be perfect, so don't miss out on what is here for you.  If you look for the good, you will find a way to be happy and joyful.

Accept yourself the way you are.  It's sometimes easier to stop finding fault in others than it is to stop finding fault in yourself.  Look for things that make you happy.  Happiness is an attitude.

We really don't know very much about anything.  We don't understand much about love or time or human emotions.  Our knowledge is limited.  We are our own worst enemies, because usually we let the mind, with its limited knowledge, be in control of our decisions. Society builds up your egoic mind so you can be easily influenced.  We are hoping to change that and be guided by the heart and be compassionate and feel our connection to others.  That is what it means to be holy....whole....healthy.

Fresh coconut and avocado for lunch

I was out of almost everything so this is what I had for lunch:
Green Smoothie, 1/2 grapefruit, apple, almond butter, coconut

Green Smoothie Recipe for Two
2 bananas
Water from the coconut I cracked
2 kiwi
2 cups frozen blueberries
2 Tbsp chia seeds
2 cups frozen tropical fruit
A little more water

For dinner I went to a potluck with some healthy minded friends.  I made a salad and cooked a pot of pinto beans.  The salad was a bagged romaine salad with tomato and cucumber.
Dinner:  Salad, Lemon Juice and Flaxseed oil dressing, sauerkraut, rice crackers, pinto beans, a little vegetarian soup, a little trail mix, and a few pistachios.
At the potluck, we watched a movie:  Mr. Peabody and Sherman.  It was fun.

To health and happiness.

Happy in the Garden

Yesterday I worked in the garden instead of walking around the neighborhood.  It is a different feeling. It's true that I only got in about 6500 steps by the end of the day instead of over 10,000, but it was a different feeling.  Travis planted some tomatoes and peppers, I cleaned the lower deck and pulled some weeds.  Lucy dug in the dirt and felt so happy.  I felt the same way. Working in the garden makes you feel happy and productive. I was puzzled by a plant growing in the herb garden as a weed.  I started pulling them out but decided to check if they are edible.  Edible weeds, such as dandelion,  can be used in our smoothies.  I put a picture on Facebook to ask for help identifying the weed, and the consensus is that it is plantain.  Some say edible and some say not, but I am inclined to think that it is edible.  My brother, Max, lives up in the mountains, and his neighbor says it is edible and the smallest leaves are best with...

The Lou Corona Story

Yesterday, we went to Magic Springs with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren.  The landscaping there is beautiful this year.  This one little flower didn't let a little concrete stop it.     Lunch today was three bananas which I ate about 1:30.  I'm letting my body rest a little bit after eating too much food the last couple of days.  I did domestic chores today.  But Travis made a trip to the City Compost Facility for another load of compost.  We'll use it on the trees we still have left to plant. We have a volunteer tomato plant coming up in one of the garden beds.  It's doing pretty well, too.  I have it on my to do list to buy some more tomato cages. The arugula I planted is up. The kale Travis planted is up. The new plum tree is planted. Here is a volunteer Poke Salat that came with the blueberry plant.  Travis planted some more blueberries in the blueberry row that lines our driveway. The...

Alko Shredder

 It was chilly this morning, but I got out and worked a bit in the garden bed that had the strawberries moved out yesterday.  I fed it with the mineral supplement and fertilizer.  I started putting on compost, but ran out of time before I finished.  We are going to plant some kale in this bed. Bed #3 weeded, minerals added, fertilized, and partly composted. Travis and I went to an estate sale today.  First thing we saw was a garden shredder.  We bought it for $60.00 and brought it home.  There are lots of leaves in my yard that could be shredded. Our new used Alko shredder...made in Germany.    For dinner tonight I made a soup.  The inspiration came from Dara Dubinet on her You-tube video, but mine was different because I used what we had. My vegetable soup recipe:  Juice a beet, 6 carrots, 3 broccoli stalks, and a sweet potato.  Then heat a pot of water on the stove, but do not boil.  In the Vita-Mix, put 3 med...
