Gratitude

Today is all about gratitude. Mainly grateful that I am and can do this, and that my wonderful husband is so supportive. He isn't about to make me juice or anything, but he doesn't complain about all the fruit and produce being purchased and taking up all of the fridge space. Life is good.

Whereas yesterday was a crabby day, though overall a good day, today I was in a good space...with only a little crabbiness. I wasn't sure what was causing my crabbiness.....if I have had to many sweet juices, and raw honey or what, but today, I am thinking I am going through a bit of a detox. My bowel movements have been good....and today I have had 3 large ones already...rather amazing to me...but I have noticed that the green juice really flushes our your colon. It brings out lots of stuff!!! Way more than could ever be attributed to what is being ingested.

I did 2 whole days of the Master Cleanse, and it was yum and a welcome break from juicing. And the good part about it was that today, I was really ready to get back to green juices. So today I made a supergreen juice with a bunch of cilantro stems, a large bunch of italian flatleaf parsley, lots of kale, 2 stalks of broccoli, a whole head of celery, a fair bit of dandelion greens, lots of carrots, 2 granny smith apples, 2 fuji apples, and 3 oranges. It was yum. Now it is evening and I am out of juice, having small spoonfuls of this wonderful raw honey I just got that has royal jelly and bee pollen in it....it's so good. But I am mindful of not overdoing it. I may juice some melon either cantelope or honey dew....probably cantelope as it is cold...

We went to the Farmer's Market again today, no bike riding though, feeling a bit tired and Liam did a 13 mile run...really pushed himself....and he's a bit tired out...but not too. We got a lovely bunch of things at the FM....more basil plants 16 more as a matter of fact, for a total of 24, 2 more tomato plants (now we have 17 in all) , 2 yellow summer squash plants, and 6 parsley plants. We now have 49 plants in our garden....

Also got some lovely lettuces, mixed braising greens, and mizuna. Could have bought more greens, was wanting to get some spinach, but we have only so much room for stuff. So next time.

Feeling a bit tired, but love all the wonderful poo's....feel so good....really into the magic and the transformation....it's already here....feeling so much more connected with the earth, with people, so much more open and understanding.....and get these wonderful high moments of just pure joy and love of everything!!!

Ciao bellas!
Alessandra
