Intuition is the first thing that I asked my dear friend Lauren to bring her juicer four months ago. I have been grateful ever since. I feel great, lost 30 lbs and am ready to go to AUS and do what I love most teach!

If I look at my life and how things are proceeding I am in deep gratitude. I have carved a way with the horses that brings joy not only to me but to the herd. I step forward to Italy, Australia, and Costa Rica. I am truly blessed

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having news eyes that are open to the new vision

The final awakening is the embracing of the darkness into the light. That means embracing our humanity as well as our divinity. What we go from is being born into our humanity, sleep walking for a long time, until we awaken and start to taste our divinity. And then want to finally get free. We see as long as we grab at our divinity and push away our humanity we aren’t free. If you want to be free, you can’t push away anything. You have to embrace it all. It’s all God. Ram Dass

When will the time be right to start heading in the direction of your dream?

GOD-AWARENESS Jesus calls us to become like little children, or as the Zen master puts it, to have “beginner’s mind.” Jesus says the only people who can recognize and be ready for what He’s talking about are the ones who come with the mind and heart of a child. The older we get, the more we’ve been betrayed and hurt and disappointed, the more barriers we put up to beginner’s mind. We must always be ready to see anew. But it’s so hard to go back, to be vulnerable, to say to your soul, “I don’t know anything.” Spirituality is about seeing. It’s not about earning or achieving. It’s about relationship rather than results or requirements. Once you see, the rest follows. You don’t need to push the river, because you are already in it—and floating along! The life is lived within us, and we learn how to say yes to that always-existent Life. If we exist on a level where we can see how “everything belongs,” we can trust the flow and trust the life, the life so large and deep and spacious that it even includes its opposite, death. Richard Rohr

Where ever you are, be all there!
Jim Elliot

There is a plane in you that is, was, and will be. It has nothing to do with birth, death, and changes. There are planes in you that are very involved in the physical, psychological, social, political landscape. There are planes in you that are aware of the archetypal nature of it all. There are planes in you that are experiencing the interdependency. And there are planes in you in which it’s all absolutely empty. They are all relatively real. For you to be free means you have to open your heart and your mind and your being to the fullness of who you are. Because only when you are resting in the place of unity can you honor diversity. –Ram Dass

In order to arrive at the second half of life, one has to realize there is an incurable wound at the heart of everything. Much of the conflict from the age of twenty-five to sixty-five is just trying to figure this out and then to truly accept it. A Swiss theologian, Hans Urs Von Balthasar (1905-1988), said toward the end of his life: “All great thought springs from a conflict between two eventual insights: 1) The wound which we find at the heart of everything is finally incurable. 2) Yet we are necessarily and still driven to try.” (Think about that for an hour or so!) Our largely unsuccessful efforts of the first half of life are themselves the training ground for all virtue and growth in holiness. This “wound at the heart of life” shows itself in many ways, but your holding and “suffering” of this tragic wound, your persistent but failed attempts to heal it, your final surrender to it, will ironically make you into a wise and holy person. It will make you patient, loving, hopeful, expansive, faithful, and compassionate—which is precisely the second half of life wisdom

After my rotator cuff surgery I stated eating only raw. I go to P T every Monday where I lie on a table with 5 other shoulder surgery clients. I listen to the pain they are in. How they have no movement. We are all around the same age. One man was in tear it hurt so much while the therapist was working on him.
At 21 days post surgery I have 100% passive range of motion. Is it diet? I have no pain. Sometimes my arm gets tired so I try to rest it. I have to believe that raw diet is why I'm healing so fast. What do you think?
