In thinking of the last day, I can only think it existed to encourage me to let go of plans and go with the course of the day. From meetings starting late to our Organics to You delivery not showing up at all, nothing quite went according to the plan in my head. The positive was that, without our vegis, we had no dinner plans or food, so off to the Blossoming Lotus we went. I adore this place - the people, food and ambiance are amazing. We shared a Chef’s Muse and a couple shots of wheat grass. I was surprised to find the wheat grass warm and sweet - and physical feeling of taking a shot was fun.

Sometime in the last week, I have started thinking more about veganism as a way of life. The switch wouldn’t be hard - I believe fish is just about all that is left about now, although I had planned on reintroducing cheese/eggs etc. after all of this cleansing. However, I have been reminded more than once lately that eating sentient beings brings in their fears and pains into your body. And, after seeing Felini’s graphic depiction of Tuna harvesting (can’t remember the movie title), I’d rather not! So, on towards learning about positive, Ray and I started watching the 3 1/2 hour DVD Living on Live Food with Alissa Cohen. A bit talky, but I was impressed by the quick no-recipe needed food she was showing. That’s the kind of raw food I’m looking for!

Yesterday also marked the introduction of 10 minutes of journaling each evening. At first, I thought I would skip this since I write here every morning, but Ray encouraged me otherwise. And, I’m quite glad. Most of what I wrote in those 10 minutes was quite a surprise to me. I found myself writing about wants and fears that I wasn’t actually aware were bubbling up. Yet, I recognized them as true the moment they were on paper. I also found myself writing steps towards resolving each of them. I feel much lighter today and more able to face my own demons head-on.

On a final note, I dreamed last night that I was throwing a birthday party at Holocene for my cousin Tiffany. I got a call from the Beatles reminding me that there would also be a punk band playing there that night and they wanted to know what to wear to the event. John was especially concerned about looking old.
