Shakin' Things Up

Happy February 1st Sunshine!

Right now as we speak, I'm munching on an avocado with a little cayenne pepper sprinkled on top. YUM! (Oh, and it's the easiest lunch ever!)

So, It's time to shake-it-up!!

January felt like a trial month on RAW. I jumped into it, knowing a little and guessing a lot.  I didn't eat raw 3 times this month...which...is okay with me. At another time in my life that was other than the best ever, I might have "Fallen off" & neglected to "Get Back On" but not with you by my side...thank you!

January was a huge month for me with tons of emotions & personal things to deal with.

A lot of my goals went untouched because of these things I had to tend to. And that's perfect because I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. It was just as it should be. 

But THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT FOR FEBRUARY!

This month, the month of loooove is going to be different! So, even if there are one million and two things that happen that I didn't plan on, my goals still get accomplished & I am still able to support every single thing that demands attention in my life.  So...here are

5 lovely Things I'm Making 

A Point to Do Differently:

1. Read my goals out loooooud to myself every single morning with excitement, energy & enthusiasm!!!

1a. ;-) Seek Inspiration to accomplish these...everywhere! Thank you Jim for the rev-it-up music for today...starting at 50 seconds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8zlUUrFK-M

2. Meditate & exercise EVERY SINGLE DAY. Even if each happens for only 5 minutes.

3. Eat more food & drink more juice

4. Set a detailed timeline of dreams with deadlines & accomplish them, step by step (Starting with one of Tim Farris's principles from The Four Hour Work Week: Just do 3 big things each day and then quit.)

5. Buy & prepare food for myself EVERY Sunday (which I have already started this week!)
    I prepared this soup & it's amazing minus the garlic OR the cayenne pepper... using BOTH make it pretty spicy:

Cream of Spinach Soup
Jennifer Cornbleet’s Raw Food Made Easy for 1 or 2 People

Serves 2

½ head spinach leaves, washed
½ cucumber, peeled
1 tomato, in wedges
¼ cup water
1 avocado
1 clove garlic
2 tablespoons nama shoyu or soy sauce
½ teaspoon sea salt
dash cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil

Blend all ingredients until smooth. Adjust seasonings to taste.

I would have probably never tried this next one if it wasn't for a friend's recommendation. (Thanks Damzlfly!) So light, and the touch of mint, ginger and cardamom in the background is sublime!

LOVE. love. LOVe. LOvE.
