David Wolfe Event NYC my notes and thought 19 y
notes from David Wolfe talk
1. eating to affect our consciousness (I loved this opening. I do believe this is what raw eating/lifestyle is all about. There is so much truth to this. Eating can positively/negatively affect our spirits I believe).
2. talked about green vegetables
3. distinctions vs. judgment, emotional eating, perfect foods for the soul
4. brazil nuts
5. lady godiva pumpkin seeds are brain and adrenal gland food
6. flax and hempseed are complete proteins (good news because I love flax seeds)
7. the best water to drink is spring water, mentioned a brand called trinity springs (I like t ... read more
healing energy of plants #2 19 y
brief morning note
I am up to finish my garden planting. I’m sowing seeds today that will complete my garden. I’m happy to say I got very good quality seeds from Walmart, Burpee Seeds. These will have to be potted, most of them. This morning I had a SAD breakfast as I’ve not gone shopping but I’m thankful for the cup of coffee and eggs. No bread otherwise I’ll have no energy to garden.

the healing energy of plants 19 y
garden update
I finally decided to get up and start my garden. I had a compost ditch in the corner of my yard. I threw scraps and lawn cutting in the hole all fall season and even winter and I had shovels full of nice mulch. I had a flat of vegetable plants I bought a month ago! :( I prayed for the best and pinched off the dead leaves and got them ready to put into the ground. Whatever happens, happens. I bought them for ten dollars at a dollar store. Tomorrow morning I’m getting up to put all the plants in the ground. I’ve never felt stronger about getting into the living foods lifestyle now. Plants do ... read more
1st day experiment 19 y
a morning update
I’m limiting this to one day since we can only live one day at a time. This morning I felt the automatic urge to have a small cup of coffee just out of habit. Instead, I had a banana-orange smoothie: 1 banana 1 orange a shot of pomegranate juice and a dropper of green tea extract. I’m leaving at ten to go on a job hunt and so I’ll be carrying my greentea and bluegranate extracts. Maybe I’ll carry some raw chocolate chunks with me too. I don’t want to buy anything on the road.
I must get in my powerwalking today, at least three miles plus my meditation and prayer so it’s off to the beach ... read more
Healing Mass and thoughts about detoxification 19 y
mini update
http://www.inisfada.net/
Sometimes I believe things are divinely timed. I live twenty minutes from this retreat house. If I leave early, I can make it to the mass on time. I had my last cup of coffee. I drank a mojo laxative tea and boy all I can say ’butt pee’. I was bound up from eating some soy hotdogs and hadn’t gone in four days. I tried to eat more food to get my bowel going but it just made me more bloated and feeling horrible. I’m exhausted now but will have more to say tomorrow. I have a job interview I must be fresh for. read more
Sunday spa day and David Wolfe info 19 y
some misc. sunday thoughts
I had one glass of lemon and distilled water. My mom had some black cake with homemade frosting on the kitchen table. I was giving it a real hard look *LOL* Instead I made a big glass of pressed garlic,fresh scraped aloes,cayenne, and distilled water. I’m going to help my mom do some cleaning then go to the pool for my steam and sauna.
I didn’t post my notes yet on my attendance of the David Wolfe session BUT I did find out that Gabriel Cousens is coming in late May. Woo hoo!

Amazing David Wolfe lecture/raw day 19 y
update about my david wolfe evening
I attended a WONDERFUL David Wolfe lecture at Bonobo’s in the city yesterday. What a wonderful event. A storeful of people excited to be healthy and raw. David Wolfe’s enthusiasm is contagious!!! Anyway, I have my notes to put tomorrow. Here’s what I’m doing tomorrow as a result of this lecture...
Going to go to the sauna/steam room at the pool again. This time I am taking special herb water with me for detoxing my kidney and liver. My acne isn’t going away but then I’ve been drinking coffee still too :o) I am not going to eat anything solid in the morning but I am going to take some co ... read more
Pointless to be healthy without the Lord Jesus 19 y
brief journal
I got a bit of a rude wake up call today. Why are so many people in the health food movement so arrogant? Just wondering aloud. I don’t wish to rehash negative experiences though. I just want to say that all this journey work that I am doing is pointless if I don’t know the Lord Jesus and live as His humble servant EVERY DAY ALL DAY. My first point of business is going to be going to church in the morning at 8 am. I’m too tired to blog about my running today. I did four miles of power walking in Central Park with my sister. I ate a bit too much today but oh well :-) Today was the last day ... read more
rainy day meditations 19 y
miscellaneous ramblings for the evening
Hello everyone. It’s raining here in New York. I’m trying to figure out what’s making my tummy acid. Here’s what I ate today as much as I can remember:
coffee with a bit of cereal because I was running out to the beauty parlor oh but I did have a glass of lemon about an hour before
later when I got back home after my boss’ son showed up I had a grapefruit/carrot(not that much carrot)
My stomach started going ouchie so I had some coconut oil which helped a little...maybe I’m just eating too many acid foods. Coffee never did this to me and that’s real acid. I have to really stop drink ... read more
going with the flow of live food lifestyle 19 y
brief morning journal
I am leaving for work. I had a little cup of coffee and cereal which speaks to my need of being prepared to get up and eat holistically. I am taking with me, a can of green powder and am going to run and get some bananas from the fruit stand before work. I am very happy with my life thus far and am making a lot of progress. My quartz crystal is getting a sun bath, gathering up the powers of the Sun. Now all I have to do is go to confession and attend mass so I can get the power of the SON, that is Jesus of course.
My cell phone drama turned out better than expected.
I am designing a ... read more
Late Night Musings (very brief) 19 y
some meandering thoughts
I just took a look at my mother’s cell phone bill online. I think before I would have let my precarious financial situation get to me but not now. I just called and cancelled a colonic and massage I had scheduled for this saturday. I decided to just go on a juice/water fast tomorrow for one day. I’m not going to spend any more money than I have to right now as I should concentrate on paying down the bills. I was a bit upset that my CNA certificate didn’t come in the mail but I found out the state got the address wrong. Either way, when it comes I’m going to work right away. I scheduled two ... read more
Giving Up Cooked Food 19 y
morning thoughts
I am sitting in my kitchen this morning drinking some lemon water. It’s hard to give up cooked food. It’s hard to begin a fast. Even if I go away on a retreat, I still have to come home and be around food. When I go to work at the store, I’m still around food. I should not be so hard on myself but I am at times. It’s like my sister said, Ren you’re doing more than the average person in America right now at this time. Plus I was listening to Gary Null yesterday and he said that 2% of Americans do something healthy on a consistent basis. So that’s good news. I should have bought Victoria Bo ... read more
Circling Around the Pyschic/Religious Event Horizon 19 y
small note
You know I feel as if I am on the outer edges of a metaphysical worm hole/black hole type situation. I feel as if I am teetering on the edge. Hence, I’m going to give the juice/water fasting another go. I’ve been spending a considerable amount of time on the internet planning my ’home school’ and thinking about things. I think tonight is the night for a guided eight gates meditation with my crystal and tomorrow throw myself at the mercy of the priest so I can start taking holy communion.
Good night everyone. visit the page
Power Walking for NYC Marathon with Gary Null 19 y
misc. update
Today I went power walking in Central Park. The day was so beautiful. I almost didn’t make it. I got a real lesson in not giving up and not getting discouraged. I took the train in from Long Island and didn’t know the ride would be so round about from Penn Station to the Park. I thought I was going to late and miss the walking/running club. Anyway, my sister said to me I give up too easily. I just hate it when things don’t come together. I felt the discouragement rising up within me as we were walking to the park. I said to my sister that I hate that I have to cross every t and dot every i ... read more
Full Moon Vibration 19 y
various reports on my life so far
I have something wonderful to report. I have started my period today and I am vibrating at such a high level I’m shocked. My brain is almost buzzing. I am no where near tired and am using this time to read good educational materials and listen to Gary Null shows while taking notes. As a food treat, I just made myself a strawberry and papaya blend sweetened with some maple syrup. It was wonderful. I am so happy I decided to committ to going raw-vegan. I’m learning how not to be a perfectionist and set impossible goals for myself.
PMS report: woke up at 4 am with some mild cramping. I to ... read more
master cleanse 19 y
mini-update
I am starting a master cleanse today. Not using too much maple syrup though as I want to lose some weight and break the hold that sugar has gotten on my life. I am checking out the MC forums on CureZone (a great resource). I’ve been in this weird tailspin and am going to attend a overeater’s anonymous meeting tonight. I am an addict and the focus is food. I’m off to run some errands and most of it involves walking because my car is out of comission. visit the page
journaling when times are bad 19 y
I need to vent!
Good morning everyone. I am going to do something I didn’t want to do. I didn’t want to write about the bad experiences/times I’ve been going through. I notice that I only write when things are good and not so good, not when things are downright BAD.
I’ve started walking on the beach BUT it also seems as if my old eating disorders have resurfaced. I don’t know what to make of this except that I made myself sick this weekend from bulimia and overeating. I had a sinus infection and I do believe the stress created from the vomiting helping precipitate that.
I’ve also not been eating as ... read more
