I am not Vegan... I want to be.

By -

When you travel through or stay awhile in St. Augustine, Florida you must, must, must have lunch at The Present Moment Cafe.
I am not Vegan. I am barely a healthy eater. My daughter who attends college in St. Augustine made me go! (Let me re-phrase this...................... ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS who attends college in St. Augustine made me go!) I am now happy to say that I have been to the Present Moment Cafe many times and I live over 4 hours away!! The café is so relaxing; the smell of the mint tea is in the air and the people who work there are knowledgeable and kind. The food is a must do experience! They make their everything from scratch! There is so much care that goes into the preparation and serving of every dish and drink that your body will love you for this delightful experience. The "burger" is oh My God so yummy with the onions and sauce. The hummus is the freshest; the "smoothies" are addictive! The condiments, Agave Nectar and the pink salt from the Himalayas with 84 some odd minerals essential to sustaining human life.... just let me tell you, they found the best of every possible physical ingredient to "not cook" and make it a spiritual experience just for you. I just wish they were a little closer or maybe they would open a place in South Florida!

Ma, you should also mention the fact that it's not for everyone.
Your other daughter strongly dislikes it and will not recommend it to anyone.
Although, I do tell people that you, Emerson and Alex swear by it.
Personally, my critique is "yuck!"

The Peace Sign

Today I was driving in my jeep with the top down. Wearing my red bandanna and groovy sun glasses, I cruised flying high on an over pass. As I came down the ramp, I felt like I defined freedom. I wanted to throw my hands straight up in the air like I was on a ride at an amusement park, for safety sake, instead I let a primal scream soar up to the blue sky filled with billowing white clouds. The young man in the car behind me roared past me with his moon roof open. He must have felt it too, freedom. He stretched one hand high trough the open roof and gave me the peace sign. Ah, a kindred spirit I thought, smiling bright, I extended my left hand high waving "Peace" to my brother then I laughed uncontrollably. According to Wikipedia,the Peace sign or the "V" sign,or the “victory sign,” is a hand gesture with the index and middle fingers open and all others closed. It was used as a sign for victory during the Second World War by Winston Churchill, originally with palm in

A Positive Spin

By -
     Bad things don't happen to me; but, when itching, pain, burning, body aches, nausea, and head aches continue to linger from a spider bite; I wonder.  In the spirit of positivity, I decided to rally and spin some light on the event. According to Louise Hay, "Spiders carry creation energy, a perfect metaphor for spring, when we blossom anew from marrow."  My bite is on the lower jaw, under my chin.  Could it be a message to take it on the chin? Is there something creative I need to chew on? Yes, yes indeed.      Maybe the bite was a direct message from the Universe.  At a totem website I found, "The bite of a poisonous spider symbolizes a death/rebirth process. Poison enters the nervous system and the body either transmutes it or falls victim to its venom and dies." There will be no dying here, not in the literal sense anyway. Where am I dying and being reborn in my life I wonder?      Shamanic teacher Nicki Scully, writes, "Spiders communicate with

Next stop for Dade grad with palsy: Harvard

The story that you are about to read speaks volumes to our human potential. A very dear friend of mine had the pleasure of working with this young man during the past few years and employed various routines using aromatherapy, massage therapy, movement therapy and swimming. I hope that you will read this and be as touched as I was! Kevin Mintz rolled his electric wheelchair up to the podium in the middle of the stage Friday. He looked down at his white graduation gown and then addressed the crowd, his speech slow and labored. The teenagers in the audience, buzzing with restless energy minutes earlier, quickly hushed. In the front row, his parents held hands and smiled: Their son, who will never walk, who they once feared would never even talk, had risen to the top of his Robert Morgan Educational Center class -- and was tapped to address the student body at the Pharmed Arena at Florida International University. Next, he is headed to Harvard on a full scholarship. Kevin, 18, has cereb
