Much Ado About Nothing

Ow! I fell and scrapped my knee today (thanks Nelly and Debbie for your concern). I’m okay! I’m okay! (said like a 3 yr old girl at the park the other day who fell on the grass and announced to everyone [who weren’t around or paying attention, except for me] “I’m okay! I’m okay!” she was so cute…me, not so much). Not sure what happened exactly. I was on my way to the post office when on one corner some guy tried to stop me to listen to his schpeel about something he was promoting/selling. I told him I didn’t have time (which I didn’t). I crossed the street where his buddy was but he was more creative in hopes I'd stop. He was shaking his hips and saying something about shaking his hips but as I walked past I went splat! Packages flying everywhere. Yeah, beautiful. Fell right on my knee and my hand that tried breaking the fall – obviously too late and not effective. I told the guy I fell because I was distracted by his shaking hips! Grr…so embarrassing! And it hurt. It really hurt. And it’s still hurting. My hand is red and tender, my knee is scraped up in a couple spots, all red waiting to bruise. My leg and ankle are feeling the residual effects or something. So why did I fall really? No idea! I don't recall rolling my ankle or tripping over anything - just fell. Okay, I’ll stop complaining now.

Last night I went to Amanda’s bon voyage party at Chaco Canyon cafe where I was able to finally meet her and her husband Rawdawg Rory and their daughter in person (sorry no pics - maybe someone else does). Lots of people came out to show their support of Amanda and her family. She actually embarks on her cross-country trek tomorrow. I hope to make it to the starting point but we’ll see. Caught up with Aimee too while there :) …it had been awhile. Amanda and co. plan on posting regular updates of their adventure on her blog so you’ll have to check it for those.

So have you noticed everywhere you turn these days in blogland someone’s created an amazing awe-inspiring ice cream cake for Heathy’s latest dessert challenge? You can check some of the latest entries here (and she’s not kidding when she refers to it as the most amazing raw dessert porn). Wow. I want to make one but probably won’t be making one for the challenge (I wish though!). Seeing all of these beautiful creations inspire me but also intimidate me. I had recently asked Yardsnacker what he would like in an ice cream cake; he gave me a few ideas. However, on his blog travels he came across one that he would heart to have. Kelli’s café almond biscotti. Oh. My. Because I’m a little scared (seriously, can you see why? At least for those of you who haven’t made an awesome ice cream cake already) she offered to help me. So yeah, Kelli? I’ll be emailing you soon! Ha ha! For the contest, wow. Heathy, you’ve got a big challenge ahead of you! I do have a couple of faves (keeping my mouth zipped!) but really with all the entries what a tough tough decision so glad it’s not me who has to make it. I just wish I was the taste-tester on each one!

Got a busy weekend ahead, most of which I hope to be outside for. Have to take advantage of the precious sun around here especially when it falls on the weekend. So I’m off to enjoy and hope my knee stops hurting.

Enjoy!

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
