Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, friends!


Isn't that the best happy New Year's quote? Thanks Tamikko via Pinterest!

Hope you had wonderful holidays and celebrations or simply enjoyed some time off. :) It's been a fun and busy time for us as YS2 understands more of the hoopla surrounding the holidays.

I had been wondering if we'd raise Caleb to "believe" in Santa. He'll know the real reason for Christmas and he'll know of Santa, of course, but wasn't sure I wanted to get into the whole Santa thing. Well, Sam convinced me (with little arm-twisting) to follow tradition and enjoy the spirit of Santa. So YS2 got Santa gifts and all that. I failed to get a picture of him with Santa this year though. #Lame. I think he recovered from last year's Santa experience but I guess we'll never know for certain. Looking back at my childhood, I'm not sure if I believed in Santa. At least, I don't remember being disappointed in learning he wasn't real -- I mean I have older brothers and a sister so there you go. Anyway, it's been really fun getting into the traditions we grew up with to share with Caleb.

the concentration...

some of the aftermath...

So now...it's 2012. Wow. I hope time slows a little. Egads. But with the end of the world coming I suppose it won't matter a whole lot. Enjoy every minute with everyone! That's what I say. :)

I am, however, looking forward to this new year. The vision board I created last year really seemed to work so I'll be revamping or recreating a new vision board. One improvement I've made already is investing in some workout clothes. It's one of the reasons I failed in the fitness department. A beautiful friend pointed out that that is a lame excuse because one can at least go walking in jeans or whatever. I did seem to look for excuses when really, I had none. So now, I officially have NO EXCUSES to not exercise in some way. But besides improving my fitness regime, I feel optimistic, motivated, and excited for the new year. Helps I'm getting a head start. Yay for new beginnings!

Hey, we might even see more nutritious and fun food on this ol' blog! That'd be a switch. Wink wink. Not promising anything though. Ha!

Many thanks to those of you who've been loyal and supportive of me and my blog. I will still be blogging about different things that have nothing to do with food or nutrition or my goals (hello! YS2 - and hello! it's my blog) as I like variety but I know it stumps and frustrates some so I truly appreciate those who've stuck around.

Hope you're having a great start to a new year! I love you all and look forward to keeping up with your happenings, too.

Cheers to a very good new year!

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
