Observations

Spring in the Pac-NW has not only sprung, it has EXPLODED! I know it’s May now (unbelievable) but it’s been a real battle here between winter vs. spring, spring of course winning out. The obvious sign of spring springing are the cherry blossoms; they’ve been in bloom for quite sometime but now they’re even more beautiful with the trees fuller. All the other trees I see are green and pretty leafy. I don’t even recall seeing them bud. It’s like all of a sudden, BOOM! Green leaves! Time is just whizzing by don’t ya think?

On a side note for any American Idol watchers…what in the world was up with Jason tonight??? I believe he was smoking some funny stuff prior to the show. Did you catch him yawning when the Top 4 came out and were being introduced? And then when performing he seemed a bit more “lively” and all around more goofy too. If he makes top 3 something is seriously very wrong.
P.S. That is not my dog pictured - I don't even have a dog. :)

Spring has definitely hit London as well. I agree, there's definitely something cheering about all the leaves growing new leaves. The coriander is growing on my balcony which is just lovely!

We get American Idol here but we won't be seeing Jason until Thursday. Bless him, he's got something, but I think he's more suited to another arena ...

That is a hysterical doggie photo! I know nothing of American Idol but lemme tell you: The Bachelor has issues. And I don't even like that show. Goodness.

Right on, what was up w/ dread lock boy last night?? I always think he's been hitting the weed and last night he was certainly in stoner form! I haven't figured out how he's gotten this far, but I guess he is cute. It'll be interesting to see what happens. Rocker David lives in Tulsa, so I'm all fired up for him to go all the way!

Also, thanks for your kind comment today, it means a lot.

Hi Heidi
You are SUCH the encourager. You are THE most active commenter on my blog. Thank you SO much.

Cherries??? Oh my! I LOVE cherries. I would be in heaven if I had access to a cherry tree. Do you have one in your yard?

Have a good one!

oohhh, I missed Am Idol, now I wish I didn't! I wonder if he'll get voted off tonight. I'll be switching the TV back and forth between that and the Pistons (if they're still on at that time).

He was definitely on something. I couldn't help but comment on it while watching with my teenage sons. Gotta call that stuff out. Glad he's gone. There is a niche for him though so he'll be ok as long as he gets off the wacky tabaccy.

I know I couldn't believe he was yawning? I still haven't watched Tues or last nights show but read today in the paper he was voted out. I really enjoyed his Hawaiian song a few weeks back but lately he's just been kinda boring. I love both the Davids so whoever wins will be great!

Don't let her fool you. That is her dog and she dresses it up every day. She's recently purchased a crib for that poor little dog.

Next thing you know, she's going to be strolling around with it about town in a buggy.

I'm SO glad that Jason is gone.

Go David Cook! Woooooooooo!

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding ...

WEGO Health: Superpower!

Image
We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes...

The "Glow"

Image
I know I'm supposed to be working on a different post - about my trip - but wanted to interrupt that to share something else. ******** People into the raw food lifestyle are familiar with the "glow." Maybe you're one who's been told a time or two that you have the glow. It's noticeable to spot a person who obviously is taking care of themselves by what they do and put into their bodies and especially when on the raw food lifestyle. Eating raw foods allows your body to properly process and digest foods plus all the those living enzymes and minerals means less work your body has to do so the result is a beautiful youthful glow. I have received such comments, which are always great to hear but I have been hearing this more so lately. From people who don't know me to people in the raw food world. When I was at our local raw vegan sto re one of the owners we nt on about how I (and hubby too) have transformed since she first met me; that I do have a healthy glow...
