"Eat your greens." It's thought that our
ancient ancestors may have eaten over six pounds of green leafy vegetables a
day. Most people cannot even eat the 3 cups a week recommended by health
professionals.
So go green in your diet. Try eating sprouts in your salad. Try
some green juices. They are like songs to the cells.
This drink is an elixir to the cells. It's a toxic waste vacuum cleaner for the
body. Watch out for your green mustache! I have one when I drink green.
Eating poorly affects the mind. Lots
of sugar and spice do not make everything nice.
Know someone who gets your goat? Watch how you feel when you
think of this person, whether you are angry or irritated when you think of this
person or if you feel sad because they don't seem to notice or appreciate you.
Here's an idea on healing your thoughts and feelings in regards to that person.
- Get a votive candle and a picture of that person and put it in a private place.
- Take the candle and picture out each day and think good thoughts about that
person for five minutes.
- See if you can feel what it's like to be them. Send
blessings to them and their family. Put away the candle and picture until the
next day or leave the candle burning during the day if you are present. Do not
leave a candle unattended. This practice helps erode inner conflicts, invokes
compassion and makes you feel better. This is really active forgiveness. Each
person that we hold a grievance or upset with is a reminder of something inside
that needs some light.
Holiday Tip
Don't be a Harried Angel This Year
Hark the harried angel sings
Two more days and I'll have
wings.
If I'm good and help you out.
I'll get wings without a
doubt.
If I'm nice and do not fuss
If I help clean up the dust
If I make my presence bright
I'll be one of God's true
lights.
Hark the Harried angel sings.
Two more days and I'll have
wings.
Hark the harried angel sings
I'm so tired of doing things
I'm so tired of being good
I am tired of all those
shoulds
I just want to take a rest
I just want to be the guest.
I am tired of all this stuff.
I am feeling mighty rough.
Hark the harried angel sings.
Two more days and I'll have
wings
Hark the Happy Angel sings
I'm retired from doing
things.
I gave up my heavenly chores
It won't be hard any more.
I gave up being nice.
I gave up the heavy price.
No more sacrifice for me.
I am feeling very free.
Hark the Happy Angel sings,
Now I have my holy wings.
