Day Three December

2012-01-03T11:06:00.000-08:00

Good Morning,

I want to share that someone wrote me and really made a request for more info on this BLOG, recipes etc. I believe that on the daily mailing there are links to lots of recipes, but I will check into it. I have mostly been using this portion of the blog between us to share my personal experience, as like you, I take it one day at a time. But I am happy to step back from that position and share more info rather than personal experience, if that is more helpful. So let me know.
Here is a link that could be really helpful and beneficial

Have a wonderful day. Love. T

One of my favorite drinks,

Grapefruit juice
Wheat grass juice (you can buy frozen cubes of wheatgrass in most heath food stores)
dash of salt
and sparking water if you choose.

New Years Day 2012

2012-01-01T17:10:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year

My favorite month to JUICE! Always ready to start over and make a renewed commitment to health and well being.
Today I couldn't get enough wheat grass juice and so loved the sensation of it as I drank almost 6 ounces after a night of celebrating the New Year!
Also had some warm potato soup, which was so delicious!
Lots of water and mostly spending time on cleaning out my thoughts and affirming my place as a child of God.
Celebrate YOUR LIFE today and be good to your body.

Love and Happy New Year.

Day Six DECEMBER

2011-12-06T21:24:00.000-08:00

One thing about December for me is it always passes so quickly.
I love that I was able to stay on the farm all day, it definitely makes it easier to juice when my schedule isn't so full or varied.
For those of you who don't like wheatgrass, try mixing it with grapefruit juice and sparkling water!
Also green supplement powder can be mixed easily into lots of juice.
The Happy Herbalist is a great resource for Kombucha and more... Check him out on line!
remember to get plenty of fresh air and exercise and surround your self with positive music, books and conversations especially when you are juicing and your heart is so open and receptive!
Be kind to yourself andothers. SLOW down and enjoy every moment!
I am so grateful for juice and YOU!

Love,
Terces

December continues...

2011-12-06T01:23:00.000-08:00

How are you feeling?
I notice how much better I feel when I juice. When I find myself hungry I
Make another juice and or have a glass of water. My favorite quick drink is homemade
Kombucha with vita mineral green powder added. I always experience a pick me up in
Energy and any hunger subsides.
Wheatgrass continues to be a magical addition to my diet, even though many days
I resist it.
if you have any gum issues it is a wonderful and healing mouth wash, just swish for several minutes and then spit out.
Thank you all for sharing with me.

I love you

DECEMBER Day Three

2011-12-03T21:20:00.000-08:00

Good Evening,

Had a great early start to my day on the farm before heading to San Francisco to lead our Community Building workshop.
Started with hot lemon water and then tea, lots of water and green juice and then a salad for lunch. Just felt like I needed more energy and hadn't planned well enough ahead. continued to have lots of water and actually felt great the remainder of the day.

I have green juice set up for tomorrow, Yeah!

I am grateful for this on line community. Thank you for being here.

Love, Terces

ANOTHER AMAZING MONTH

2011-11-09T14:30:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone,

Hope you check this blog. Thank you for another month of juicing together.
I am so grateful for you all.
Remember to keep on consuming lots of juice and water and take good care of yourself.
Ill be here next month and look forward to meeting you again.
Love. Terces

Aloha. I am back!

2011-11-06T00:50:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

I apologize for not being in touch via the blog yet in November. We arrived back from leading our community building workshop on the 2nd and then it was hit the ground running. This is a time of change and boy are things changing FAST around here!
I promised I would share a typical day of JUICING, so here goes.

First thing in the morning while I am starting the farm crew breakfast (after feeding the chickens and opening up all he coops and pens) I make either hot water with fresh lemon for Matthew and myself, or plum paste "tea" with hot water (a super alkalizing hot drink).

Then it is kale, celery and cucumber juice, although when cucumbers price goes through the roof I usually put in an apple! I also like grapefruit with wheatgrass juice (and a frozen version is available at most health stores).

Then I sometimes have tea sitting around the fire while the crew eats and we all "clear" together.

A few hours later I will have either another green drink sometimes with added avocado, or perhaps some nut milk (almond) with cinnamon and a banana ( if I am having "sweet" drinks, or citrus (my favorite is grapefruit in the winter), I also add sprouts and blend it together.

i am of course, drinking lots of cold or warm water in between juices.

I feed the lunch crew and may have a hot cider (from fresh apples) or carrot with ginger juice, or homemade kombucha with a couple teaspoons vitamineral green powder.

more water and often wheat grass juice, a few hours after lunch

Then in the evening another green drink or tea with chlorella tablets!

Sweet Dreams.

Love you all, keep up the great work of caring so deeply for yourselves and one another.

Love.
Terces

DAY SEVEN and BEYOND

2011-10-07T12:36:00.000-07:00

Congratulations on arriving to DAY SEVEN. Celebrate however you got here!
No matter what your experience was you are a champion for just taking on your health.
Some of you may want to keep going, juicing mostly and slowly adding in good wholesome food, Others may be ready to bite down on some solid food as soon as possible. Listen to your body and take it easy. Start with fresh veggies, salads and fruits.
Chew, Chew, Chew.... breathe, breathe, breathe.....
Acknowledge yourself and your commitment to your body!
Thank you for being there for me!
I head to Los Angeles this afternoon for Leaders Causing Leaders, where we are both speaking over the weekend.
Then back to the farm on Sunday evening and into San Francisco for our Monday meetings.
I am still appreciating the clarity from JUICING and the energy as well.
Have a great month, see you in November, right here!
Love. Terces

KEEP GOING

2011-10-05T09:48:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

I don't know about you but yesterday was a turning point for me. I felt the old "energy" and "clarity" that calls me to on going juicing. I also was inspired and lighter in my heart as well.
I juiced watermelon, jalapeno pepper and lemon. It was cooling and warming and wonderful for the rainy day we had here on the farm.
Volunteers helped collect the most butternut squash I have ever seen! They were having fun and learning about farming from the working on a farm perspective.
WE are at the end of our cucumbers and I am getting ready to go juice some for a great alkalizing drink.
I also enjoy fresh juiced tomatoes, hot pepper and carrot with celery for a wonderful version of a "bloody mary mix" cocktail (without the alcohol, of course!)
Thank you for calling me back into the full experience of juicing, I am so grateful for the community that keeps me going.
Love you all.
Have a wonderful day.
Terces

Cool October

2011-10-03T23:10:00.000-07:00

The sunny hot days are gone, tonight it is cool and windy and today we had rain!
While I appreciate the moisture and so does the dry earth, I have to remember to wipe off my dogs feet before they jump up onto the bed, its MUD SEASON!
I feel good, healthier and while there are lots of pressures facing us right now from the outside, there is more peace internally when I am juicing.
Right now we have lots of watermelons and I love to juice the fruit and peel, I add a little lemon and chili for a cooling drink.
Apples are ripening now and I will start juicing them along with collards and kale.
I still start my day with hot water and some plum paste, a alkalizing beginning of each day.
Wheat grass is my standard morning and midday pick me up, even if I use it to swish only, it is so good for mouth health.
Keep sharing with me as well, your wisdom, inspiration and encouragement support me as well.
Thanks for making health a priority.
Love. Terces

Is it really OCTOBER!

2011-09-29T12:30:00.000-07:00

I am back!
I have had or created for myself, however you see it, some of the most challenging months of my life! I am SO GRATEFUL to be clearing out with a full JUICE week! for several months now I have cut my JUICE week short, due to travel or schedule, and I AM SO READY FOR THIS WEEK ITH ALL OF YOU!
I actually started early as again I am traveling but this time I did not let that STOP me.

I am aware of how much louder my self diminishing mind gets when I don't JUICE on a regular monthly schedule, like I said I would. I can also feel the impact of partially juicing on my physical health, so I FEEL SO GOOD to be joining you this month!
Thanks to all of you who keep the group, even though we are only connected online, and in the BIG INE energy sense, for keeping us all together! if I am also"speaking tooters who quit or got discouraged, come on back and simply start again!

I bought a new juicer, as I am being challenged to keep enough juice here on the farm for juicing,it is a Breville Juice Fountain, 850 RPM motor and easy to clean. Do what you need todo to set yourself up!

I am thrilled to be reaching out to each one of you!

love, T

YEAH SEPTEMBER

2011-09-02T11:06:00.001-07:00

I have NO IDEA where the summer went but we are off to Vinalhaven for our annual visit with Matthew's parents who summer there! Is it really September? I have a birthday on the 9th and am thinking about my health and how great I feel.
I fasted a day early this month as I needed to for some lab tests for my insurance application and when they took my blood pressure they said, "you have the blood pressure of a teenager!" I have always known it was low but seems to be staying there as I age as well.

Remember to drink lots of fresh water.
Again I share some things that I do regularly for my health and you are open to try them or not.
I add Vitamineral green to juices and kombucha. I take Chlorella throughout the day and ALWAYS travel with it. I also have wheatgrass or wheatgrass juice daily. I am not into just chewing it (like a cow) and then throwing it out when there is not more juice in the fiber! Don't need to worry about purchasing a wheat grass juicer that way!

Hot water and plum paste or lemon is a great way to start the day alkalizing your system and it tastes good too!

Green juice with some hot chili and avocado is a wonderful "meal".

I fly all night tonight and travel a good bit of tomorrow so won't check in again until day four, so take good care of yourselves, know that what you are doing is GOOD FOR YOU!

Here is a link to a wonderful program a dear friend of mine has put together with lots of free informational videos on cleansing. I HIGHLY recommend it to you all.

Mid week August

2011-08-03T22:42:00.000-07:00

Hi,

I am traveling tomorrow so want to check in with you all now. We are heading to Kansas City to lead our Community Building Workshop! We are also going to visit a few farms of friends while there before the workshop starts.
I was thinking this morning as I made our plum paste tea, that I haven't shared that with you yet. We take a small amount of plum paste (you can find it in the Asian food section of your grocer) and add warm to hot water for an ALKALINE drink in the morning. It is the MOST alkaline food there is!
Also a great website for juicing is juicefeasting.com there are so many resources to support your juicing/cleansing.
Are you remembering to practice affirming your amazing self while juicing? You are loved, you are adored, you are deeply appreciated and I am proud of you too.
Have fun.
Love. Terces

First Days of August

2011-08-02T22:14:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

Don't really know how many of you are still doing the week long JUICE each month but grateful for however many of you are out there. I so appreciate the partnership.
No matter where you are, and I know some new folks have joined us BE GOOD TO YOURSELF!
Drink lots of water, I suggest some wheatgrass, even if you mix it with apple juice for starters.
Green juice with kale, celery, cucumber and some lemon is my favorite.
I also enjoy lemonade in the hot months of summer, I blend it with ice and make a slushy on the hottest of days, adding some Vitamineral Green as well.
I enjoy kombucha with Vitamineral Green too.
Right now blackberries are in full season and those blended with sparkling water is a great refresher. But most important is to do what works for your body best. What you want is a break from digestion and some detox from toxins built up over time.
I know most folks don't talk about these things but wheatgrass and coffee are wonderful enemas for a deeper cleansing experience and a liver and intestinal cleanse. If you want to know more, ask me!
What do you love about yourself?

Love. Terces

FINAL days of JULY

2011-07-06T21:48:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

I apologize not not writing much this month, first time for me, and while I have been super busy I have also missed our connection. I am going to JUICE another week as my body just wasn't in sync with it this week. I am so inspired by all of you and grateful for the time we share and the stories that connect us all.
I still drink JUICE throughout the day and also kombucha (yes I make my own with Rooibos) and love it mixed with Vitamineral Green! You can order new SCOBY from Happy Herbalist on line and it comes with amazing information booklet with all you would ever want to know about fermented foods too!
The farm is in full force right now, and the weather is HOT! Lots to keep us busy and growing.
Love you all,
Terces

First few days of July

2011-07-03T22:25:00.000-07:00

Happy Independence Day!

What new freedom are you celebrating?
I am thrilled to be celebrating being complete with the father of my youngest son. What I mean by that is I have finally said all I wanted to say (for over 20 years now) and all I am left with is respect, admiration and love for him and the difference he made in my life.
I apologize for not writing the first two days, I simply was struggling with getting myself in alignment for JUICING this month. I had been working on my health and well being and just returned from Mexico, where we went to visit the families of some of our employees, as well as to take a child (17 years old) of one of our farm members to meet her grandparents in Mexico for the first time. It was a special and moving trip, so much transformation is cross
How are you treating yourself this month?
What phase of cleansing are you in?
I would love to hear from you.
Have a great holiday Monday and know you are loved.
love. Terces

One last note...

2011-06-08T10:58:00.000-07:00

I wanted to share with you all a great juice.
Mix Vitaqmineral green, 1 teaspoon with some kombucha (I make mine with Rooibos), and stir. It is a wonderful summer drink filled with good stuff for your body!
Love you all.
Terces

DAY SIX AND SEVEN

2011-06-07T11:56:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

Well, here we are on the last day of Juicing this month! Seems like the week went by quickly.
I want to share something with you that occurs almost as a miracle to me, and I do understand that folks don't always share this honestly.
Here goes.
I have often heard of wheat grass enemas and implants, but other than one or two other times, years ago the idea or benefits of them had slipped my mind. Then this month I just wasn't feeling that great. Actually since I returned from Italy. I have had the thought that breaking my JUICING week in Rome wasn't perhaps the best for my body! Other thoughts of aging, feeling discouraged, etc seemed to grad a hold more tightly to my attention. I wasn't able to brush them off. I was also struggling with hemorrhoids and they too seemed to be more persistent and painful.
I am not sure where the thought came from, but there it was. Try a wheat grass implant. Now, I wasn't sure I understood what that exactly was so I went to my computer and looked it up.
There it was, with simple instructions on how to give myself one.
So I did.
WOW, I am amazed at how I feel. This is the third morning of doing one and almost all my symptoms are gone! I feel energized, clearer, happier, more focused and out of pain.
So, I am sharing this as I highly recommend it. It is pretty simple to do and painless too.
If you need instructions, let me know, but really the good old internet is pretty helpful on this one.
That said, what was your experience this month?
How can I support you even more?
Have a great month, the sun is shinning today and that warms my soul.

Love. Terces

DAY THREE and FOUR

2011-06-04T21:22:00.001-07:00

Hi There,

Well how are you doing? What are your challenges and triumphants?
Here is one of mine, a big one for me, that may seem surprising to you.
Just yesterday, late in the day, when I was still not feeling that great and I started to get a bit of heart burn, I had the realization that my body needed some sprouts. I went into the kitchen and put a handful in a bowl and eat them, with a bit of lemon juice on them as well. Shortly after I felt much better and realized that I RARELY see food as my ally! Mostly for most of my life I have manipulated by body in some way with food. It might be counting calories(when I was younger), treats for something, to get me to do something I wasn't really thrilled about(oh sure I'll go do that and then stop for something or get something in that same direction along the way)... you get the idea. WOW what a wake up it was, to really start to see food as my ally, as on my side, the side of health and well being. I am still working through the insight and it is deep and powerful and still new. So I'll share as more reveals itself.
How about you?
Rained all day, a fluke for California this time of year!
Went for a foot massage... so amazing and relaxing and a great get away in the rain.
Remember to drink plenty of water and oh yes, a great "tea" is the plum paste Umeboshi with a little warm water, It is the most alkalizing food there is. A little bit goes a long way, it is HIGHLY concentrated. Available in most health food store, and also where Japanese specialty items are sold.
Love. Terces

DAY TWO JUNE

2011-06-02T10:52:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,
Was so wonderful going to Jeffrey and Carrye's wedding yesterday and seeing the young people we have mentored over the years choose marriage. It was also so great to meet their parents and see the community that has gathered around them.
They also had some delicious homemade Gingerale that was the perfect fit for how I was feeling.
I did have some salad and later in the day a couple cherries that are just ripening on our trees and I feel good.
This morning Green Juice with a touch of fresh grapefruit juice and later a fresh strawberry smoothie.
How are you doing.
I did an intestinal cleanse recently so am being careful not to under nourish myself, sometimes my tendency when juicing.
Today I am going to have a green juice with Avocado added for some more substance as well.
How are you feeling?
How are you going to nourish yourself today, in some special way?
Love you all.
Thanks for being here... and if you read into yesterdays post that it wasn't ok to Juice some months and not others, I apologize, I simply wanted to make sure that those on the list were experiencing the benefits of the communication, support and community.
Love,
Terces

JUNE ONE

2011-06-01T09:29:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

Welcome to June, While it is raining today, unprecedented at this time of year, I feel bright inside as we begin this week of JUICING together.
I actually started a couple days ago as I was having some problems with my digestion and elimination, so JUICING was my choice.
I have been thinking about how many of us are signed up for the JUICE CLUB and yet not everyone is opening their emails and participating so here is my request.

I was thinking this month it would be great for those of us who wish to continue on to RECOMMIT!
I know that old commitments for me, go stale over time. I simply am not as present as I once was to my commitment, to what had me sign up in the first place.
Juicing is one of those things in my life that I experience the benefit of, only when I am FULLY COMMITTED. Half way, simply doesn't work. That said, I am COMMITTED that
our JUICE CLUB is a powerful UNIT that is supporting one another, and couldn't help but notice that while there are 1800 people signed up, only around 500 opened the emails last month. My request is, take a moment, really look and see, are you up for JUICING one week each month and if so STAY SIGNED UP, if NOT then DELETE YOUR NAME from the list, that way there is more clarity out there in the universe about WHAT WE ARE ALL UP TO!
I am here for you and am so up for you being here for you too!
I love you.
Terces

Thank you for accepting my request, I am looking forward to seeing your name on the email and KNOWING that you are FULLY COMMITTED to participating.
Any suggestions and ideas are always welcome, this is YOUR JUICE CLUB!

Love. Terces

Final Days of May

2011-05-08T20:05:00.000-07:00

Thanks to everyone for a great week.
I am in Rome, Italy and was not able to post the last couple of days. I am so grateful for juicing, I feel well set up to start eating and to appreciate my food AND take it easy.
I feel good and empowered. I so love the balance I feel in my life and diet in this time.
There is something magical in the consistency of juicing monthly for me, how about you?

Feed yourself well, like you are caring for someone you love and admire!

I love you, meet you here in June!

Love,
Terces
P.S. Happy Mothers Day to all you amazing mothers

Day THREE and FOUR

2011-05-04T12:27:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

Yesterday, Day Three, was a bit of a struggle for me. I felt tired and a bit irritable! Drank plenty of juice, my favorite is green juice (kale, celery, lemon and cucumber with avocado and jalapeno blended). It feels like a real "meal substitute" to me.
Was able to swim with my granddaughters and get a bit of sunshine which always feeds my soul.
I also mowed the area around the pool, earlier in the day and it felt so good. What are you doing for exercise? I also do a half hour of yoga each night before bed, even when my mind is telling me "it is okay not to do it tonight!' Just where does that little voice come from?
This morning, Day Four, I had a half packet of Gano Excel ( it is a Rishi mushroom and coffee beverage), followed by a green juice with some Power Up added. I suspect I simply wanted to have more energy and hopefully not feel the "sludge" of yesterday. So far, so good, although I would say that the tickle of allergies is present! It is that time of year.
I love mint water, especially when I have so much fresh mint and it is getting warmer.
Roses are in full bloom and gorgeous.
Are you preparing to celebrate your Mother or any other Mothers who are special to you?
Loving you all.
Terces

Day TWO MAY

2011-05-03T09:57:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

Awoke early and bright eyed! I love the experience of looking in the mirror throughout the day and being surprised by how great I look... an experience I often have during the week of JUICING!
Love adding Power Up to my blends this month! It is a mix of maca and green algae!
Again, noticing how easy and effortless it is to move through my list of projects, just not any resistance or mental interruptions when JUICING! Not sure why but I enjoy the ease.
Others on the farm are experiencing allergic symptoms and yet I don't yet, maybe the JUICING is helping there too.
We were in the city all day yesterday and dealing with opening of Harrison(our first location of Cafe Gratitude) that just went through some repairs and remodeling. It looks SO GOOD, so fresh, so cleaned out, a bit more "pubish" to my eyes, go by and eat and see the new look! They will also be offering our full new menu now! Yipee!
We are planting corn on the farm today and I am starting to prepare for being in Italy for a week starting this Saturday.
How are you taking care of yourself today, treating yourself, loving yourself?
Off to feed sprouts to my chickens!
Remember lots of fresh water and plenty of JUICE!
Love you all.
Terces

MAY DAY

2011-05-02T10:33:00.000-07:00

Welcome to May!
The sun is out and I am thrilled to be juicing with you.
We were in LA this weekend leading Abounding River workshop and looking at a second possible location for an LA Cafe Gratitude! Seems a bit wild and crazy and we are happy to be expanding the community down there already. Our partners are THE BEST and we had so much fun dreaming up our future together!
We had dinner with Michael Beckwith from Agape Church, Jyoti, from the Center for Sacred Studies and Grandmother Agnus from the Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers Council! Cafe Gratitude is certainly the place to be if you are up to something these days. 'The workshop was fabulous and I love who is gathering around our work.
I have been looking forward to JUICING this month, SO MUCH. We leave for Rome to attend a wedding on the 7th, so looks like I will be breaking my fast in Italy!
I started with lots of GREEN JUICE (from Whole Foods in LA) and added some Kombucha as refreshment throughout the day of the workshop. Nicole, our hostess in LA treated me to a BIG GREEN juice in the afternoon and I never felt hungry.
What I have noticed is it is better to NOT EAT ANYTHING (no sneaking a bite here or there) especially on the first few days to really put my body on notice that I am JUICING ONLY. Then it gets easier as my energy levels rise and my commitment to feeling clear, empowered and good kick in.
I am so grateful for each one of you and thank you for taking on your health with me.
Have a fabulous Day Two and I will share with you later tonight once again.
Love you.
Terces

Day Seven April

2011-04-07T17:09:00.000-07:00

Hi,

It just finished hailing, thundering and lightning on the farm. We are hoping the cherry blossoms weren't damaged! While beautiful a bit surprising too.
I started the day with juice and added some steamed greens and sprouts at lunch, just too cold, and feeling a bit weak. Felt ready to add in a bit of food.
Tonight is Bikram and I am ready. While we did yoga daily in Hawaii I am ready for the deep warming of the hot yoga.
I am also still taking chlorella and also some antioxidants as well.
I am so happy to be home and getting ready for Spring, which we thought was here until the cold and rain of today hit.
I am going to add in one day of JUICING a week this month, so I invite anyone who wants to join me to take it on as well.
I am in love with all the Lilacs that are in bloom and can feel my heart opening when I stand among the bushes and B R E A T H in their sweet scent.
Happy Spring, Thanks for taking on your health.
I am so grateful for you.
What are you grateful for?
Love, Terces

Day Six

2011-04-06T23:56:00.000-07:00

HI,

We just returned to the farm from arriving back into San Francisco tonight around 8pm. I am SO HAPPY to be home to the land of green juice and our community here.
Thank you for your patience with the blog issues, and Marta thank you for adding my blog entries to the daily emails. I am so grateful for your support, especially when off the grid with little or no internet access.
Our workshop was amazing and I am looking forward to my farm life schedule for a few days.
My body is ready to wake up early and open up my chicken coops and walk the land.
Green juice is in the frig waiting for me.
Yeah.
Sweet Dreams, keep your attention on how wonderful your life is.
Love, Terces

Day FIVE April

Looking forward to today, awoke to sunshine and wrapping up our time in Maui with a visit to Aya and Anis' new he on the other side of the island.
Anis is working on an Abounding Rivet project and we are excited to see it!
I am ready for some California green juice and time for Spring planting.
I have let go of pushing myself just to keep up and am taking on honoring myself in new ways, like listening to my passionate inner voice.
Love you
Terces

Had my coconut milk, lime and Ginger smoothie this morning. So delicious!

I apologize that these are not being posted on the blog, we are still working on it.
Love you
Keep loving yourself.

2011-04-05T09:55:00.000-07:00

Aloha

So grateful you are here with me.
I am so happy to be juicing, I feel clean and clear although I was up most of the night in ceremony and am a bit tired. Still grateful to be juicing.
Of course there is amazing coconut milk here with fresh Ginger, my favorite! As well as fresh Papaya for smoothies!
This blog hasn't been working and is being looked at, so you may see several posted at once!
Love

Day One April 2011

2011-04-05T09:49:00.000-07:00

I am in Maui leading our new workshop on Community. At first I was resisting the juice club this month feeling like the timing just wasn't right but now on the first I feel totally inspired and looking forward to juicing for the week with you!
I believe just letting myself feel my resistance was helpful.
I will share from here and thank you all for joining me from wherever you are.
Welcome and love

DAY SEVEN March

2011-03-07T10:06:00.000-08:00

Hi
Well this wasn't my "normal" week of juicing, just too much going on.... not an excuse, just my experience! This month has certainly been juice plus some veggies and fruits! However while the week is winding down, I am going to keep going and also add into my monthly program ONE DAY A WEEK, so now my year is ONE WEEK A MONTH and ONE DAY A WEEK! Just feels right to me.
I invite you all to join me if you are so called, check in with your intuition and see what you feel.
I thank you all for your participation and for "holding space for me this month", I could feel each of you and was filled with gratitude.
I invite all of you in Southern California to go by and see the newest Cafe Gratitude, it is AMAZING!
I am happy that we are through the crunch of the first few days open and looking forward to the ongoing development of the community there.
While it rained all day yesterday this morning I awoke to WIND and clear skies!
Grandchildren are back on the farm and the chickens are drying out a bit.
Green juice tasted so delicious this morning, even though it is still cold outside.
We head to the city today for meetings and I am present to my blessed life.
What are you present to?
Love, Terces

DAY Six March

2011-03-06T21:16:00.000-08:00

Good Evening,

A rainy day here on the farm today. I enjoyed it as the day was a but quieter than usual and there is still so much going on with the opening of the LA Cafe that I really didn't want to put my attention anywhere else! They are doing a stunning job given how incredibly busy they are.
Had a peach smoothie today made from our own frozen peaches from last years crop, it was SO DELICIOUS!
We are off to the city tomorrow and I am looking forward to wheatgrass!
Remember that it isn't how you do the Juice week, it is that you do it...... however that looks.
Start ...... somewhere.
Love and appreciation,
Terces

Days THREE, FOUR and FIVE of March

2011-03-05T20:16:00.000-08:00

WOW where to start, I am back... in lots of ways, To juicing, to the farm from Los Angeles, to reality... we were in LA for a few days to support the opening of the Cafe there. WELL, it was an amazing opening and we are so busy we are needing to create a new plan. We have never opened a new cafe serving this many people this quickly. YIKES, so much to take responsibility for, so much to learn and so much to trust! We are going to send down some more veterans of our company to support the new employees there. I was SO BUSY yesterday with the third day of business and then the Grand opening party that I hardly drank anything all day. I did have a green juice and tea in the morning and then water, water, water... all through the most amazing Grand Opening event ever! Jason Mraz sang, along with the Makepeace Brothers and Jessie Payo, and Matt and Avesa Love.... see video on my FB page... and then had some Jicama late at night when I was finally able to slow down and relax a bit. There were over 500 people there to welcome Cafe Gratitude into Los Angeles. So thank you all for being such a demand for gratitude.
What are you grateful for?
Today I returned to the farm, flying in first thing this morning, feeling like I had been up all night!
Had some grapefruit juice and took a nap mid day... what a treat. Just finished a warm cup of hot chocolate .. and am catching up on all my emails and this blog too.
Thank all of you for keeping on with the JUICE while I was away and I am so happy to be rejoining you.
LOVe, Love, Love,
Terces

SECOND DAY March

2011-03-03T08:59:00.000-08:00

I am in LA and the new Cafe Gratitude here had a wonderful first day! So much enthusiasm from all of the first day customers. The restaurant is beautiful and the food FABULOUS... well how would I know, because I ended up tasting some of it! While I did juice I also tasted the new spinach salad and the coconut "bacon" sandwich and then we went to dinner with our partners and I had some beet salad.... so all in all, I pretty much stuck with veggies and it certainly wasn' t an all juice day.... so I encourage all of you to keep on going, I am probably going to be on a similar program today, mostly juice and some food sampling.

I feel great, mostly excited about this newest location and all the new people we are now serving.

I love and appreciate you all.

Love. Terces

FIRST DAY of March

2011-03-01T22:16:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone,

Once again I am present to how much I look forward, even if resisting on some level, our week of JUICING together. It always comes just about the time I am so ready for it! It isn't that I eat poorly the rest of the month, just that I long for the structure, the clarity, the ease and energy.
How about you? This month we are heading to LA tomorrow morning at 4am for the first day of business (opening softly) at our new Cafe Gratitude on Larchmont Blvd. We are so excited. I feel like a new baby is being born and we are in the final stages of labor!
We are so proud of the boys (our sons) and the crew there, along with our partners.
I am thrilled that it won't be difficult to JUICE as there will be lots of fresh juice available.
Mint is growing on the farm already and I love it in grapefruit juice... also in season.
What are some of your favorite juice combinations?
Hope you had a great first day and I'll be in touch tomorrow from Los Angeles.
I love and appreciate you.
Terces

Day SEVEN February

2011-02-07T07:48:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone,
I wish the week wasn't over in so many ways and I am happy to be getting ready for our trip to Los Angeles to see our sons and also the community that is gathering there. We are heading down south for three days to meet the new employees of Cafe Gratitude LA and to begin training them in our model of business. The reason I juiced a week early was to ease the challenge of juicing while traveling and staying at someone's house.
I am grateful for the Chlorella tablets I have been taking and will take with me while I travel as well.
I am also grateful that my community eats healthy food so the breaking of my juice week will go smoothly. Remember to take it easy, keep juicing and start adding in salads, steamed veggies and light meals. I always make the biggest meal of the day midday and have a really light evening meal or only liquids at night.
How do you break your cleanse?
Be sure to continue to treat yourself well, make healthy choices and remind yourself that you are beautiful inside and out!
Love,

Terces

Day SIX February

2011-02-06T08:35:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone,

So happy for the opportunity to simplify my life, JUICING does that for me.
I even find myself wanting to go back to juicing after only a day or so after the week is over, I am already missing the simplicity I experience.
So, that said,
What are you noticing? How does juicing support you in your life?
I am enjoying the time I have with my grandchildren on the farm, we are all learning so much together. Children are precious for sure.
This month I have really enjoyed Grapefruit juice and I make up that is because it is in season and better than ever. We also have an orange tree on the farm and fresh orange juice is so delicious.
Mostly what makes this week so special each month is YOU. Knowing I am not alone, knowing there are others out there going through the same experience... keeps me going.
Remember to exercise as well and be sure to LAUGH too, it is so good for you.
Love. Terces

Day Five February

2011-02-05T13:05:00.001-08:00

Good Morning,

Well today I simply did not set myself up well and found myself dealing with hunger. Thankfully Marta brought me a coconut for the lunch break at a workshop we were leading. I also had some strawberries and a few olives and sprouts... tasted so good and really did ease my irritability from the hunger. I can see that it is difficult for me to speak up sometimes and ask for what I really need, good lesson to take on. I always find myself being so willing to be flexible, which I appreciate too. It is always a paradox!
I really watched my mind today, part of the power of the workshop. I was able to see how my ego will create dissatisfaction no matter what I choose. So I can use that awarness as a wake up call and practice shifting my attention to some thought that empowers me. Great lesson.
What are you learning?
I so appreciate you all.
Love. Terces

Day FOUR February

2011-02-04T11:29:00.000-08:00

Hi,

Today I noticed I was cold all day, just couldn't seem to get warm. Had some hot veggie broth soup and it helped but still I felt "chilled". Thank goodness for hot tubbies at the end of the day.
What are you experiencing?
I am still so grateful for the practice of juicing/cleansing each month. It is now a regular practice of mine and I look forward to it.
Today I am practicing keeping my attention on all I have to be grateful for. What are you grateful for?
I still love and look forward to the green juice with avocado and green salsa blended in, it is so filling and due to the spice feels so satisfying.
I also love hot tea, to really sip and enjoy a cup in the mid afternoon around the fire.
I love the clarity of such a simple diet.
I am grateful for you.
Love. Terces

Day THREE February

2011-02-03T11:27:00.000-08:00

Good Morning,

I am experiencing some hunger, and am increasing my juices. I am still taking Chlorella and E3Live. I am experiencing the peacefulness and calmness of juicing, however notice that I get irritated with other people who are irritated. I would say I am more interested in peace. What are you noticing?
Today I am taking on kindness, being kind to others and myself. what would being kind look like to you?
For me, it is reading, finishing my first loaf of sour dough bread that I have been growing my own starter for for a month now, doing yoga, gardening, listening to my deepest inner voice...
Thank you for taking on your health with me.
I love you,

Terces

Day TWO February

2011-02-02T10:44:00.000-08:00

Good Morning,

I can't believe a year has passed already since we first opened Gracias Madre. We had the anniversary celebration and were awarded Best Restaurant of the Year from Veg News Magazine. Congratulations everyone! What I noticed was since I was juicing I was able to be more present with both my granddaughter, who didn't want to leave my side, and all the people who wanted to say hi and share something with me. I found my thoughts silently saying, "wow look how present I am" or some version of that and noticing that it was the result of JUICING. I love that there are less distractions in my life when I juice for the week.
I also noticed that the food wasn't distracting me, I wasn't hungry and yet could completely appreciate that it was there, looked amazing and many people were enjoying it.
The music was incredible too.
On our ride back to the farm I wasn't as tired as I usually am (late in the evening after a full day on the farm), and I could tell that this being the beginning of the week I was still detoxing.
So, lots of water today and I am actually planning my juices ahead of time....
Love to you all.
Terces

Day ONE February

2011-02-01T13:56:00.000-08:00

Welcome to Day One, while I juiced a week earlier I want to be here to support you this week, so keep an eye on this blog for more of my experience, story and motivation.
While I have been doing this for over 17 months now it is still a "new" experience each month. I look forward to it and still resist sometimes too. Remember to drink plenty of juice and as you go through your week perhaps start drinking more and more alkaline juices, but start wherever you are. It is in the starting that it all happens.
Be forgiving if you fall off and get back up and on the JUICE once again.
Remember hot lemon water in the morning, that really helps me skip coffee or tea!
Also fresh water and plenty of it is important.
I am traveling this week and always travel with some sort of dried or capsuled green food.... fresh juice is not always available so plan ahead if you are away from home.
I would love to hear from you, so share here with us all. Your experience does make a difference for others.
Thank you for taking on your health, I am so grateful for feeling better than ever before.
Love you all.
Terces

Completion of Day Seven January

2011-01-07T22:39:00.000-08:00

Good Night everyone,

Just returned from the Kings Speech, what a powerful and great movie about friendship.
Thanks for being my friend.
Keep juicing and start with adding in some sprouts, salads and or steamed veggies. I suggest going easy at first, really don't fill yourself, no need to. Your need for food will have decreased and you want to give your digestive system time to ramp up again. You have done a great job of giving your system a break, and cleaning out old toxins. I really recommend that you consider continuing along this path, the regularity of JUICING has so many additional health benefits.
Why not continue? That is a good place to start to look at any habits or patterns that may not be the best for you.
Thanks again, and I look forward to sharing more with you next month.
Happy New Year.
Love. Terces

Day SEVEN January

2011-01-07T09:50:00.000-08:00

Now that is full on winter... in Iceland (taken from our plane)!

Good Morning,

Another crip cold winter morning on the farm. Friends are coming to lunch today so the bean pot is already cooking. I had the green juice with avocado and chili for breakfast, as Molly, my daughter got up early and made breakfast for the farm crew... what a treat!
I awoke at 6am and then realized I had a full 45 minutes before I needed to open the chicken coops and fell back into a deep sleep and was SO GRATEFUL for the extra snuggle time! Sleep is also an important part of healing and cleansing.
What would you love to be acknowledged for today? Share with me, I would love to know.
I would love to be acknowledged for balancing my full life. For taking care of all the aspects of my varied lifestyle, mother, wife, grandmother, leader, cook, friend, sister... you get the idea. When I walk around I see so many things that are mine to take on and I simply do the one that is front of me and keep on going to the next....
I am inspired by how full and luscious my life is!
Thank you for being here, have a beautiful winter day.
Love. Terces

Day SIX January

2011-01-06T21:25:00.000-08:00

If it is green it is the energy of the sun, and it is SO GOOD for you!

Hi Everyone,

I really don't know how many of us are still juicing together. There are about 1500 signed up but am not sure of where we all are. I'm thinking we will do another invite for next month on our newsletter. I do wish more of you would share your experiences, it makes a difference for me and will for you too.
Tonight was yoga, and it always feels so good. Especially all the heat after a really cold day. Awoken to frozen pipes in the kitchen (it is out of doors, so no real surprise on freezing nights). I encourage all of you to be exercising, it is so helpful in the detoxing phase of cleaning yourself out. Also drink plenty of water.
Kris shared that she is noticing her emotions and their connection to eating and food. Just let those emotions go on by, that is part of the cleansing process. Don't get attached to them, just watch them pass. Overtime you will gain new insights that will be supportive of your healthier lifestyle.
I noticed today that I am simply not that interested in unhealthy foods and drinks. I was sharing with my granddaughter that food that is green (naturally), as we were cutting collards for lunch, is like eating sunlight and our bodies LOVE sunlight and that energy is the best energy there is for us. So eat Green... let the sunshine in!
Love, Terces

Day FIVE January

2011-01-05T20:08:00.000-08:00

Me in my new coat from Mollie (my daughter) at Christmas. She owns Kind Kreme in Los Angeles... vegan ice cream shop... YUMMY!

Good Night,

The end of Day Five is here, and I notice that it seems like I could go on forever.... I remember this place from previous months. The routine of juicing has kicked in, food has lost it attraction, I am feeling clean, clear, energetic and happy.
My granddaughter and I had a great day, she was really up for doing the chores with me and I really didn't have to say "no" that often. Lucky me! She spent about an hour helping me pick up pecan nuts that had fallen to the ground and were buried by leaves, that we collect, plant and grow trees from.
I am again experiencing the expansion of time while juicing although not as much as I do in the longer days of summer. I notice I am getting things done, that I have thought about doing for awhile.
I so appreciated the "warmer" winter day today, with no rain.
What are you noticing? How is your juicing experience.
Again I had hot apple juice in the evening around the campfire and loved it!
I am grateful for you and for chlorella!
Until tomorrow... sweet dreams.

Love, T

Day FOUR January

2011-01-05T10:35:00.000-08:00

Our source of heat in the winter!

Hi There,

Today, the beginning of Day Five I notice I am starting to feel like "this is just the way it is". There is less interest in other people's food ( I do all the cooking for the farm crew here) and I am settling in to JUICING as a way of life. It is really cold on the farm so lots of cold juices just isn't really appealing, so I add in hot apple and ginger juice, hot herbal teas with citrus, room temp kombucha (which I make) and then I take LOTS of Chlorella ( it is available on our web site www.cafegratitude.com) and E3Live. Find out what works for you and create your program. We have also added in two nights a week of Bikram Yoga which really helps with the "cold to the bones" feeling of winter, mostly living out of doors.
What is working for you?
I am also being challenged right now with our grand daughter, I so don't want to upset her and yet sometimes I just have to say "no", which is not her favorite word. I can see that if I could have it my way I would avoid upsets (and probably do). I just want to reason or talk things through into workability and that isn't always possible with a 4 year old!
What are you seeing, what are you learning, how are you being stretched?
Thanks for being here, I so appreciate all of you sharing, no matter where you are.
Love,
Terces

Day THREE January

2011-01-04T09:59:00.000-08:00

Good Morning,

It is really the morning of Day Four, however we had a going away celebration for both of our sons last night, who are leaving today for Los Angeles, to open the first LA Cafe Gratitude. They have been with us (in CG) for years and I am only now beginning to get present to the HUGE contribution they are and how much I will miss them.
WE are thrilled for the LA opening and for all that will come of a Gratitude Community being in Southern California! Here we come!
We returned to the farm late last night and I was SO COLD in the yurt that I couldn't bring myself to blog... so here I am now.
First of all I want to say that along with JUICING, and whatever your program looks like, practice NOT MAKING YOURSELF WRONG... or start AFFIRMING YOURSELF and appreciating who you are. What could you be affirming about yourself today?
I was walking out to open the chicken coops this morning with deep front covering the land and thinking about what a kind woman I am. I starting affirming my commitment to kindness, and immediately my doubts about my own divinity began to melt away like the sunshine warming the frosted ground.
This morning I made a hot cocoa with raw cocoa powder and almond milk and it was so yummy. I also had some steamed kale last night, but realized that I also had a stomach ache on the way home, and don't really recommend that. So today it is back to liquids and JUICE. My favorite is still some green juice with avocado and chili, the spice always feels like I have eaten a delicious meal!
Be gentle, be kind.
Happy New Year.
Love, Terces

DAY TWO January

2011-01-02T18:40:00.000-08:00

Our Family at Christmas this year!

Hi Everyone,

Another day with a Jamba Juice stop for wheatgrass and juice. This time I had two of my grandchildren with me and they had juice too. WE were returning from Santa Cruz (where they live) to the farm in Vacaville for an overnight with Grandma and Grandpa. It however is as soggy as can be on the farm and cold too... so we stopped and went to the movies to see Tangled. WOW, what a beautiful transformational film for children and grandmothers (I guess). I loved it so much I didn't want to take them to the bathroom in the middle of it, so we all held it in, until the end.
They are now playing with their cousin upstairs of the barn while I finish my blog.
I am so grateful for all of you.
How are you feeling? Thanks for sharing what your headlines would be... keep sharing, I love hearing what we are all up to.
Get Loud, share about your health and healing, no matter where you are and as someone asked, drink plenty of water and keep on going to get rid of the caffeine (or lack of it) headache.
I love you.
Terces

Day ONE January

2011-01-01T17:05:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL...

What a great way to start the NEW YEAR, caring for YOURSELF!
What is inspiring you to take JUICING on?
I would love to hear....
WE always play this game at the beginning of the year called....
If you were creating the front page of the newspaper, what would your headlines for this year be?
This year I said, "THE WORLD GOES GRATEFUL"
What would your headlines say?
Remember to be creative with juicing.. what are your combinations... today I was driving to Santa Cruz to visit my son and his family... and I stopped at Jamba Juice... where they have WHEATGRASS.. and fresh squeezed orange and carrot juice.. along with all the frozen fruit smoothies (which I don't necessarily recommend.. and they are better than nothing at all).
So find what works and if you are committing to juicing all year, I highly recommend getting yourself a juicer, or getting a group of people together who want to juice and purchasing one together and then juicing for all of you.... make it work, that is my coaching....create your life and juicing in any way that works for you!
Love you all.
Have a sweet day today and everyday.
Love. Terces

DAY SEVEN FINALE, DECEMBER

2010-12-07T15:05:00.000-08:00

My grand-daughter, Kate, making wheat grass!

Good Afternoon,

No matter how long or how far you have come juicing, CELEBRATE your success. Even if you only juice one day, consistently over time, that is a miracle.
Many of you completed this year and I am so grateful for your commitment to well being. You inspire me. Who inspires you? I want to share a link to a man who has now lost 230 lbs and was dining in Cafe Gratitude last night. He overheard our District Manager say that she was JUICING and he hopped on over to her table and started sharing his personal story of JUICING with her. She was so inspired.... who could you be inspiring with your story? Here is a link to Dave, the raw food trucker! http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=raw+food+trucker&aq=f

Remember to ease gently into solid food, still drinking plenty of fresh juice and starting off with salads and perhaps lightly steamed veggies if you are wanting warm food.

I hope you all join me next year, for a new JUICE CLUB experience, with new features... and seven more sharing.
Have a wonderful holiday season and know you are LOVED.

Love, Terces
P.S.

DAY SIX DECEMBER

2010-12-06T14:00:00.000-08:00

Believe it or not I had my first "chuckwagon" filled with goodies at age 3!

Yeah, I made it to the all employee meeting in Oakland at 6am, that is a 4:30 wake up! I feel better just feeling a bit better. I can't remember a day that I just rested, it felt so luxurious, I highly recommend it for everyone, without not feeling well!
I noticed that I had more dreams, or at least I could remember them. I also was present to some things that are incomplete in my life, that I am committed to completing. So grateful for insights.
Today I am still on hot water and lemon juice all day... I tried some other juices, but they just didn't sit well.
How are you? Thank you to all who shared. I love receiving stories from those of you in other countries. I notice that I feel the ONENESS of the world when we share with one another.
What are you still resisting? Take on breaking through in that area of your life.
I love you.
Terces

DAY FIVE DECEMBER

2010-12-05T11:33:00.000-08:00

Good Morning,

I could feel myself fighting off some "bug" in the night and awoke with a desire to SLOW DOWN and rest. I'm off for a nap now. Today is Kate's birthday (she is 4) and is so happy to be having a birthday. She loves Jessie, from Toy Story and is so into being a cowgirl!
The enthusiasm of a 4 year old is contagious, even when feeling a bit under the weather.
I am happy for Sunday, it is always a bit quieter on the farm here.
Today lots of HOT water with lemon and ginger....
How are you taking care of yourself?
Happy Sunday,
Enjoy this drizzling day of slow rain, so good for this planet we all share.
Love. Terces

DAY FOUR DECEMBER

2010-12-04T19:56:00.000-08:00

Our first ever barrel of wine!

Good Night,

Not as easy today as yesterday, found myself feeling hungry at the end of the Leadership Training and also not feeling that great... runny nose, slight headache and an "itch" of an on coming cold sore... so I drank, drank, drank some water and am not getting ready to go to sleep early.
Amazing Leadership training session, I am so inspired by all the people who came, participated, and today successfully completed the year long program. I can see and hear them being leaders in all areas of their lives.
I shared with one of our managers today that one of the things I notice when juicing is that whenever I pass by a mirror or window and see my reflection I am surprised that I look "better" than I think I am going to.... and when I am not juicing I often experience myself as not looking better than I think I will. I am not sure what it is, I just notice that I have that experience. She shared that she also doesn't judge others of herself as much either....
What are you noticing?
So in line with my being present to what it is to be a leader, I am asking you today, where are you showing up as a leader, where are you inspired or inspiring others?
I Love you.
Terces

DAY THREE DECEMBER

2010-12-03T21:05:00.000-08:00

Hi Everyone,
Ok, this is more like it... I guess when I look back, day two is usually the most challenging day! Yeah, on to Day Three and now Day Four.... today was great, I was busy preparing for the Leadership Training and a couple folks in the training are also JUICING and that makes it more fun and easier.... so I recommend that you find some people to JUICE with! I did have a cup of pureed vegetable soup tonight sitting around the campfire and while I appreciated the warmth it was also FILLING. I also had some green juice and so love the clarity I feel.
How about you? What is your experience. Claire thanks, for sharing, I so appreciate you saying how as you look back you see how far you have come. Congratulations. I encourage all of you to look over the months you have been juicing and take note of how it has impacted your overall diet/nutrition/health!
I am reminded from today's training of the idea that perhaps real leadership is simply being present to love in each and every moment... how are you present to love right NOW?
I love you.
Terces
P.S. the photo at the top is of Kate, one of my grandchildren who is watching and helping us take the corn off the cobs for masa making! (I am present to love!)

DAY TWO DECEMBER

2010-12-02T18:40:00.000-08:00

Good Evening,

Well, I would say, at best today I was cranky! It seemed to me like all the things I did to help created new issues to work through. Frustrating for sure.
I felt left out, and unsatisfied. I probably didn't drink enough juice either.... you know how it goes....
and, the day is over, and I can start again tomorrow.
I feel like my life is so full, there simply isn't the space to appreciate all that is happening... and there are moments when I do...
Maybe this is what cleansing feels like this month!
So, I am going to shift my attention right now, and think about how precious the moments with my grandchildren are, with my daughter and her husband, with the farm crew and my husband... all the ways that we relate, support one another, and connect in new ways.
Kate, my grand daughter turns 4 this Sunday and she is so excited about Jessie, the cowgirl in Toy Story, coming to her party!
Today I mixed an avocado in with green juice and a hot pepper... yummy!
Sweet Dreams, I'm looking forward to a fresh start tomorrow.
How about you?
Love you. Terces

DECEMBER DAY ONE

2010-12-01T14:57:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the last month of the year... no matter how many months you have been juicing with us, congratulate yourself for taking on your health! I am so proud of all of us.
I received some feedback today and was so happy to hear what difference the JUICE CLUB and consistency of JUICING is making. I certainly feel the difference but it is so wonderful to hear about others experiences. So I invite you to share your story with me, you make a difference in my life.
Remember to keep yourself hydrated, water, plenty of juice, warm beverages.... and lots of green!
I am taking Chlorella tablets for additional green power!
It is cold here on the farm so I am drinking heated lemon juice, with ginger, a bit of apple juice for sweetner and some fresh ginger to heat me up.
This morning Chandra made for me a green drink with grapefruit juice, coconut milk and a bit of chili for the heat!
So trust yourself, make up whatever pleases you and keeps you inspired to keep going and have fun.
I love you.

DAY SEVEN NOVEMBER

2010-11-07T07:51:00.000-08:00

WEll, not exactly the juice week I was planning.... after some bread crusts last night in an Italian restaurant with my family.... we are still in Long Beach, speaking this morning at Leaders Causing Leaders. While I don't believe the turn out was what they were hoping for, I am present to a couple of people saying, "this shall be" and here it is in the World.
What could you give your word to? What are you committed to causing in the World?
So far the leadership tips I have gleamed this weekend are....
The greatest quality of a real leader is the ability to LISTEN!
Don't get stopped
and today we are sharing, Acknowledge others into leadership!
Drink plenty of water, be gracious with yourself and others and know that where ever you are you are in the perfect place at the perfect time.... your time is NOW.
Thank you for sharing this experience with me.... I am going to extend my cleanse one day.... what I am being "guided" to take on this month.
Love you all.

DAY SIX NOVEMBER

2010-11-06T20:50:00.000-07:00

WOW what a powerful past 24 hours I have had! it started with an amazing celebration of love with some of our dearest friends, in which I had the insight that it is the things that we don't say that keep us stuck or trapped. So, today I am asking all of us to say what we don't want to say as a clearing out of anything that might keep us from expressing our love!
What I don't want to say is, my life is so full that sometimes I miss the opportunity to really feel my feelings, to open fully to my love for others and for life itself.
share what you don't want to say with me. There isn't anything to do with these thoughts, just let them be.
I had some fruit salad last night and some raw kale salad and it felt so nourishing.
Today I am back on juicing.
I am excited about our Los Angeles partnership and opening of Cafe Gratitude, I can see the community forming, by being here at Leaders Causing Leaders.
we are one of the keynote speakers tomorrow and I am looking forward to sharing more about acknowledgement with everyone here and to seeing one our mentors, Chip Conley too.
Have an amazing day and take good care of yourself.
Love, Terces

DAY FIVE NOVEMBER

2010-11-05T08:49:00.000-07:00

good Morning,

I am at the Sacramento airport on my way to Los Angeles where we are presenting this weekend at Leaders Causing Leaders.
I started my day with a green juice, EARLY this morning and am traveling with lots of Chlorella ... And right now am sipping on an herbal tea..
how are you feeling, what are you present to?
can you see the perfection of your own process?
for me I am focusing on being flexible and going with the flow of my life, even when I don't want to.....
Thank you all for being there for me, I am honored to be sharing this experience with you.

love, Terces

DAY FOUR NOVEMBER

2010-11-04T21:37:00.000-07:00

Sweet Dreams,

How is your JUICING program and experience going? Can you see the lessons, the perfection, the opportunity? I am still adjusting to living with two of my grandchildren full time, and noticing that I have less time for myself, which isn't a good or bad thing, just what I am noticing.
Someone else shared that they noticed that there body was going on reserve.... she had no appetite, so she made sure she had more to drink! What are you noticing?
The noticing, is important, it is your presence, your attention to your experience, your connection to your body and it's messages....
We leave for Los Angeles tomorrow morning for a weekend at Leaders Causing Leaders, where we are participating on two panels and leading one session... on Acknowledgment.
What would you love to be acknowledged for?
Thank you for being here, make sure you aren't just "not eating" during this week, but are actually nourishing yourself with your liquids!
Loving you all,
Looking forward to your sharing more.
Love, Terces

DAY THREE November

2010-11-03T10:21:00.000-07:00

Good Morning.

Well I must be ahead of myself as I started to write for the 4th of November! I awoke from a restless night... a whole night of dreams of standing for transformation in the midst of resistance. Not that much fun, but then who ever said, standing for what is possible for people, would be!
So grateful you are here, and up for the challenge of your life, your health!
Started with hot water and some cacoa and almond milk... actually was really great and a nice warm drink. Put in a dash of salt for some more flavor...
Green juice is key for me and I am adding lots of CHLORELLA tablets this month too!
I notice that my body is cleansing in so many ways, and that is always encouraging.
I also notice that if I drink lots of water and keep my exercise (moving) up that it aids in that process and I feel cleaner, clearer and have more energy.
How are you doing? What are you noticing.
I am so convinced that this way of juicing on a regular basis is an excellent way to keep myself healthy and my body in balance!
I also have fresh apple juice today and am going to heat it up a bit and add some cinnamon and hot water (to dilute it a bit).
Be gentle, be kind and keep your heart open wide.
Rest, exercise and drink lots of fluids.
Thank you for taking on your life!
Love. Terces

P.S. Grapefruit juice with fresh mint is also great!

DAY TWO November

2010-11-02T09:34:00.000-07:00

Yipee... I sure did feel the detox yesterday! A bit of a headache, a little nauseous, but overall happy to be cleansing. I notice that I am not hungry, if you are then make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. Don't let yourself get too hungry.
I did have some steamed kale at Gracias Madre last night as we went out after our manger meeting and the Giants had won the World Series! So, don't beat yourself up if you have something to eat... and keep it simple, a salad, or steamed veggies or some soup. Remember wherever you are is PERFECT. Trust in the perfection of your own process.
This morning I had hot water with lemon, forgetting how much I enjoy it. We were all sitting around the campfire, Molly, my daugher had made pumpkin pancakes for everyone and I had no problem not eating. It is nice that Lourdes, who lives here too, is juicing as well! So find a buddy if you are experiencing feeling alone in this process... it always helps to be sharing the experience with someone else.
For midday I am having green juice(cucumber, kale and celery) blended with avocado and a hot chili... for me a bit of spice really tames any hunger I am experiencing.
I love you all.
Love. Terces

DAY ONE NOVEMBER

2010-11-01T11:21:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,
Here we go again. Are you ready? Did you set yourself up to JUICE? I just tasted a yummy drink that Marta made, she will share her recipe with you later today!
I don't know about you but I AM READY TO JUICE! I love the freedom and clarity and am ready for some of it.
We had a busy last few weeks, with a trip to Italy.... one of our daughters and her family just moved to the farm and are still moving in.... we switched out of summer clothes for winter clothes as the weather has changed and rain is here! JUICING sounds SO GOOD TO ME, to support me with all the changes in my life and all that I am up to.
Please take a moment and share on this/our blog... your connection matters.
Remember to drink plenty of water and lots of GREEN juices!
I am so happy you are here with me.
Love. Terces
What is your experience?

DAY SEVEN OCTOBER

2010-10-08T00:07:00.000-07:00

Aloha,

Today during yoga class at our retreat, I realized, as I smelled food cooking in the kitchen that since I have been JUICING for one week a month for a year now, food no longer controls me! That is a big realization. I can smell food, enjoy the smell and appreciate it and I don't have to put all my attention on getting to it, eating it or trying not to eat it... I can keep on doing yoga and appreciate myself, my body, this moment! Yeah!
What are you noticing? What difference is JUICING making in your life?
Thank you for yet another great week together. I look forward to next month and I will keep checking into this blog for a few days. You are always welcome to share here.
I look forward to hearing from you. YOu make a difference in my life.
I love you.
Terces

DAY SIX ending DAY SEVEN beginning OCTOBER

2010-10-06T21:21:00.000-07:00

Aloha

People are arriving for the beginning of our Kindred Spirit retreat. We just finished flipping through the pages of the proof of our soon to be released book by the same name. I just had a conversation with a couple of "single moms" in the farm kitchen and am present to how powerful the tools we share are. My life went the way it went given the tools I had to work with in the life challenges I created and was presented with. Today the people in our community have a better set of tools, and their lives are heading in more powerful directions. I am proud of them.
Just like you, taking your health as something you can be more responsible for, you are experiencing a different outcome.
You are letting go of what no longer serves you, you are willing to let in what you are worthy of receiving and you are celebrating others and your own successes, that is a transformation.
As you prepare to ween yourself from juicing, be gentle. Take it easy, keep juicing and add in some salads, some soups, some fresh steamed greens. Keep your water intake high, keep exercising, and keep affirming that WHO YOU ARE IS LOVE.
I love you.
Love, Terces

DAY FIVE OCTOBER

2010-10-05T10:37:00.000-07:00

Aloha,

I am in Maui on our farm here preparing for our upcoming workshop, Kindred Spirit. I notice how I can resist some of the necessary jobs in my life and when I resist them, I suffer. So I am letting go. I am keeping my attention on the difference sharing with others makes. I see so many people around me who have such richer lives from participating in their own lives in more empowering ways. What can you keep your attention on when you resist what you might have on your to do list today?
What ways of thinking, or habitual patterns can you let go of today that will support your awakening. Awakening to what? To LOVE!
Instead of noticing what might not be working as well as you would like it to be, what is working beautifully, right NOW!
Instead of noticing what you didn't get done, what did you accomplish that you can celebrate?
Instead of noticing where you weren't your word, what did you fulfill on that had you being your word?
Where were you generous, kind, loving, accepting?
Thank you for sharing, thank you for being here.
Drink lots of liquids and let your body move today, freely.....
I love you. Terces

Day Three and Day Four OCTOBER

2010-10-04T12:20:00.000-07:00

ALOHA,
I apologize for not blogging yesterday, just as I paid for a couple of hours of on line service in the Honolulu airport, they asked us to leave on an earlier plane as ours was oversold! Yikes.. no time to share with you.
So here I am, on a borrowed computer in an amazing tree house on our farm in Maui under the shade cloth covered with vines in a light rain, catching up
Insights... well... I have had people share with me about their experience of the JUICE CLUB and am reinspired by who we are and what we are taking on together.
A woman here on the farm shared today that she is up to 3 days a month of JUICING and that feels so good to her, she was sharing this with me as she made herself some JUICE! She is getting ready to travel for a year and I was saying she could JUICE her way around the world! Don' let yourself get stopped, even if you make some necessary adjustments, keep going.
Having JUICED for a year, one week a month, I am adding one day a week to my program. Why? cause that is what my body is requesting... a day of JUICING in between the weeks to clear out and realigned... and my diet in between is pretty great... so I can tell that my body loves JUICING!
How about you? what are you learning about YOUR BODY. Someone asked me yesterday, after complimenting me on how I look, "what are you doing?" Well, the only real difference in my life is that I am JUICING ONE WEEK A MONTH and I can say that I have never felt so comfortable in my body before! I can also say that I have the best, healthiest relationship to food, eating, time, feeling..... loving, ever! So come on, JOIN US and JUICE with 1700 other people around the world and see what you see, feel, appreciate....

Thank you for loving yourself. I love you.
Love, Terces

P.S. There are still a few spaces available in our Workshop in Costa Rica in February... why not join us?

SECOND DAY of OCTOBER

2010-10-01T20:38:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

What are you present to this morning? What are you learning? What insights are you having? Today someone in Leadership training shared with me the difference that the JUICE CLUB is making in her life. She said, that she has seen so much about her food patterns, her eating from someplace other than hunger (for food), and she has made the shift to create a more nourishing relationship with herself and with food.
How about you? What can you share?
I am listening......
I love you,
Terces

OCTOBER IS HERE!

2010-10-01T11:05:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

Welcome to DAY ONE! Remember it doesn't matter if this is your first month, or 10th! You want to start where you are. Set yourself up to win. Be sure you have plenty of juice or the veggies and fruits to make your own juice. Take it easy. Be kind to yourself. For me, I am so ready to be juicing again, that I am excited about the first week of each month. In fact, last month I noticed around the 20th I was looking forward to the rest of the month passing sooner so I could get to juicing. Silly me, I realized I could just juice an extra day here or there or start early! Which I did!
So listen to your body... and remember how important water is too.

Welcome back if you are returning and all of you be sure to share on this BLOG as you make a difference for others and when you share you will deeper your awareness of your own JUICING JOURNEY.

I love you. THank you for being here.
Love. Terces

DAY SEVEN SEPTEMBER

2010-09-07T10:13:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

Yesterday was a tough day for me. My experience all day long was feeling other peoples resistance to whatever I was sharing. I found myself just wanting to give up, quit, let go... such a mix of feelings. It was not easy just to let myself have my experience. I felt so misunderstood. We went out to dinner, waiting for the holiday traffic to cease before heading back to the farm after a day of meetings in the city and I had some steamed kale and zucchini. While it tasted good, I noticed on the drive home that I felt full, uncomfortable... maybe the physical experience I was having was matching my emotional experience. Anyway, I went to sleep committed to moving through my experience and learning from it.
What I see this morning is that I am going to put more conscious energy into letting go, trusting God (over there), that while I may feel like my attention to creating what I think will be supportive of others is an expression of love for me.. it may not feel like an expression of love to others... so I can let go.
This morning I sat with Sarah, my soon to be daughter in law, and she shared that she always feels like "not enough" in my presence. I certainly am not committed to that either. I shared with her about how my love can express and she shared that she is committed to letting go of her story... the wedding is less than two weeks away!
So, I am sharing all of this so you can see that the process is on going, that JUICING is a way to support us all in clearing out everything that no longer serves us... and opening up to something new that we perhaps cannot see yet. Open up anyway.
Be gentle with your process, take it easy today, drink lots of water and plenty of juice and ease into food tomorrow while keeping your juice intake high. Sprouts, are a great reentry... chew your solid food well. Your digestive system needs some support as you add solid food.
Love yourself.
Love others.
I love you.
See you next month, please continue to share. You make a difference in MY LIFE.
Love. Terces

DAY SIX SEPTEMBER

2010-09-05T21:54:00.000-07:00

Hi Sweet Ones,

Feeling good, stronger... that feels good too. We are starting to prepare for the wedding here in a couple weeks (300 plus people) and I ran around today picking up new sheets for some of the "family" staying on the farm in "camping" style. Also fixed up one of the little yurts we moved recently as well as a small "trailer" we made that looks like a tiny house. Hung some twinkle lights, painted a couple night stands and doors and stood back to look at my work and feel so good! I love accomplishing things!
I love that when I am juicing I am able to accomplish so much more.... crazy.
I also realized that the CD of music from my son's father was actually him giving my what my invitation said my wish was... that everyone would reconnect with someone they loved that they had distanced themselves from... he was actually giving me all I really wanted. Such a healing. I feel so full... full of love.
How about you? Are you caring for yourself, recognizing how others care for you.
I am so grateful to all of you. Just knowing you are out there supports me, and then hearing from you is such a joy.
I love you.
Terces

DAY FIVE SEPTEMBER

2010-09-04T23:04:00.000-07:00

Hi,

Thanks goodness for healings. Today I drove to Santa Cruz to play with and care for my grandchildren, so my son and his wife could have a little bit of time together on their 6th Anniversary. Well, I ended up stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for HOURS... the healing was I was listening to a CD that I had received in the mail from the father of my youngest son. We haven't really talked in years and for my birthday he put together a CD that had me laughing, crying, remembering, forgetting, feeling so celebrated and seen. Such a sweet healing. So, what I want to say today is DON'T EVER GIVE UP on what you know is possible. LOVE IS ALWAYS VICTORIOUS. Keep your heart open, keep on loving no matter what, it is the way to healing for us all.
Love yourself too, and nourish yourself with love. You are worthy of everything wonderful. Yes you are.
I love you.
Terces

DAY FOUR SEPTEMBER

2010-09-03T21:39:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

Ok, here we go, over the half way mark. Are you keeping track, waiting for the end of the week, or are you not noticing and simply creating "this is what you are drinking for now?" Curious where you are. For me, today no headaches, yeah! Got a one hour foot massage in the middle of the day when the temperatures were over 100... such a great break and so helpful in detoxing. What are you doing to support your cleanse?
We are starting to prepare for our sons wedding that is taking place on the farm on the 18th of September. I am grateful for the juicing week, as I seem to get so much more done, out of the ordinary farm and cafe chores.
Painted to night stands, picked up a new bed and tomorrow the mattress for the yurt we are fixing up for some guests... I love the ease that seems to flow during the week of JUICING. I notice I don't doubt or question myself as much. What are you noticing? Share so that others can learn and be supported by YOU.
I feel stronger than "usual".
Do you know that you are loved?
Thank you for taking good care of yourself.
Have fun, smile alot.
Love, Terces

DAY THREE SEPTEMBER

2010-09-02T21:40:00.000-07:00

Hi There,

I awoke with a headache and thought "oh no" "here I go"... but I didn't hesitate to take an aspirin, so I don't know what your thoughts are, but I am not into suffering especially while I am juicing. Then I drank lots of water, did all the farm chores and kept going. It was a full day. I found myself grateful for so much today and realize that I was reminded by myself to "make time for myself". I am still drinking Vitamineral Green in all my juice. Someone else reminded me about water with lemon and am going to start my day with it tomorrow. I so appreciate all of you who shared, thank you. Keep it up.
I also want to encourage all of you who may find yourself struggling to move, read something inspiring, listen to music you love, go volunteer somewhere, do something nice for yourself or someone else.... these are ways to shift your attention. Even LAUGHING OUT LOUD will add in your cleanse. Don't take yourself or life so seriously.
Have fun.
Love. Terces

DAY TWO SEPTEMBER

2010-09-01T21:02:00.000-07:00

Hi,
I am actually starting this tonight, the end of Day One. It is still really warm out and I can hear crickets, sprinklers, and a few frogs! I had a full and fun day. Started out at DMV because my license expires in a week, on my birthday, and this year I had to renew in person. I actually love going to DMV, because it is such a great opportunity to practice smiling at people, engaging in conversations, when normally I might just sit quietly, and attempting to "lighten" up the environment of a State office. I actually did pretty good, considering that the person who was helping me just didn't seem to want to shift his mood, but that didn't stop me. I am definitely more unstoppable when I am JUICING! I found myself so grateful that I don't work there! Today I put Vitamineral green all my juices. I am experimenting to see if I can really feel the difference using it. It is a powder and easy to blend into anything and really almost doesn't change the taste, certainly not difficult to swallow in juice. For those of you using fruit juice, try adding some, it turns your drink GREEN! Great way to make GREEN JUICE! It is available at Cafe Gratitude and most health focused food stores.
It is hot on the farm right now so I also freeze my drinks and drink them when they are slushy... it certainly makes for a treat in the heat of the day.
Remember to exercise, walk, run, rebounding is great for the lymphatic system, and of course swimming is wonderful on hot days.
I feel good. I feel strong. How about you?
What about you first timers, how was Day One? Share, it is part of the program and will support you in getting more out of the entire week experience.
I love you.
Love, Terces

SEPTEMBER ONE

2010-09-01T12:27:00.001-07:00

Good Morning everyone,

Welcome back if you are re joining us, and WELCOME if you are a newcomer! I happen to know that some folks from Cafe Gratitude are joining us for the first time, one of them is my son! So I want to make sure that you set yourselves up to win, and those of you who are pros, share more so the new folks can feel even more supported.
Remember this isn't a "diet", so don't starve yourself. Start from where you are. If you are coming off of a full diet, then take it easy, make it about being on "fluids" and I don't mean coffee and coca cola... I mean juice, smoothies, wheat grass, soup even, do what supports YOU in making a shift. This is designed to give your digestion system a break, to give your mind a mental rest, to EMPOWER YOU. So don't turn it into something you are surviving, turn it into something that supports you! If you start with a full liquid you can always cut back, and do just green drinks, another month or the last few days of this month, whatever works for YOU! You are in charge here. Remember it isn't about "cheating", no one is watching you. You are EMPOWERING YOU.
I noticed this month as I was chewing on food in Vinalhaven, where we were visiting Matthew's parents, that I was looking foward to the upcoming day (today) where I would feel lighter, clearer, less bogged down by FOOD! I don't let myself get hungry and I include plenty of water.
Be good to yourself. You are worth goodness!
I love you,
Terces

FOLLOW UP.... of AUGUST

2010-08-08T09:48:00.000-07:00

Happy SUnday,

Well, I broke my JUICING with a sprout salad (sprouts, lemon, olive oil, salt and cucumbers) YUMMY! and then we had a dinner date in Sacramento and WOW am I ever present to how fortunate we are to have the food we do on a daily basis.
I can imagine the level of health and well being of folks who eat more commercially grown and traditionally prepared food! I also know that the body adjusts and we simply don't know how GOOD we are capable of feeling.
So, be good to yourself, if you are going to splurge, then purchase the best organic foods you can find! You are worthy of GREAT HEALTH.
I encourage you to increase your amounts of fresh, raw fruits and veggies... they are such a great way to nourish yourself. Keep food preparation simple, eat foods as close to the condition they come from the earth as possible.
See you next month, would love you to continue to share your experiences with me. I will keep checking our blog.
Have a great month.
Love yourself and others.
Love, Terces

DAY SEVEN AUGUST

2010-08-07T10:06:00.000-07:00

Yahoo... Day seven and no matter where you are, trust this months process! Everything is a learning experience guiding you home to your Divine Self! See the opportunity in all of it. For me, leading the leadership course on the farm and being joined by two mother members of the JUICE CLUB was such a treat! Even though amazing meals are being prepared by someone else... I feel good completing this ,onto! I did have some watermelon fresh from the farm and enjoyed each juicy bite!
I feel healthy, strong, clear and inspired. How about YOU. Share with me, I will continue to check the blog for the next several days. meet me here.
Remember to keep on juicing while you SLOWLY add is fresh, organic foods....
Thank you for everything.
I love YOU.
Love, Terces

DAY SIX AUGUST

2010-08-06T10:57:00.000-07:00

WHoa... I got whacked yesterday! Don't know what happened, maybe I got dehydrated, maybe just not enough nutrition, maybe not enough rest - quiet time... but I struggled to keep my energy up. I felt dizzy, tired, hot, and just all around "not good". I was happy when the day was over.... did do 10 minutes on a slant board and felt a bit better, swam some too.... and then today I awoke and feel good!
So happy it passed through... how about you?
We are starting our second weekend training in our Leadership Program today and I am so grateful for increased energy. I also know that I can share my experience with others and just be with it.
I too, have not really enjoyed our usually amazing green juice this month, don't know what is up. Wheatgrass is ok, though. So what I want to share is TRUST YOURSELF, YOUR BODY... and if you are going to eat something keep it light... sprouts, avocado, salad.... don't make yourself wrong that is so counter intuitive to what we actually taking on together.
YOU ARE THE PERFECTNESS OF _________ (SPIRIT, LOVE, NATURE, GOD.... ) whatever word resonates for you.
Thank you for your commitment. I am so proud of you.
Love, Terces

DAY FIVE AUGUST

2010-08-05T09:33:00.000-07:00

Hey folks,

What's happening? Fill me in, share your experiences. What successes are you enjoying? What failures are you celebrating?
How are you being good to yourself? What do you love about YOU?
I notice that I am in the groove, it now just seems like JUICING is the way it is! That is one of the rewards of consistency.... it just IS!
I love that I am clearer, that I am more present, that life is flowing....
I love that you are all sharing this experience with me... thank YOU!
I have noticed that I am not really hungry, just peaceful. When I am feeling any hunger I simply drink water first and then if I still want something a juice. Green juice isn't really tasting good to me, so I have had more apple, lemon, and blended fruit drinks. Guess it is SUMMER, and what is ripe is what is appealing. I am trusting the process.
I drink rishi mushroom (and sell) healthy "coffee" and this morning that didn't even hit the spot! So who knows what is happening, I am TRUSTING MY BODY!
I love you. Be good to yourself. Know that you are an amazing gift to this world and see yourself as a contribution to others! I do.
Love, Terces

DAY FOUR AUGUST

2010-08-04T15:41:00.000-07:00

Good Afternoon,

WOW a full morning for me. Country California, the television show, was on the farm today filming for an upcoming show! I also had 7 young children, along with my two of my grandchildren.... no problem JUICING, wasn't time to eat!
Maybe the key to JUICING is keeping your life full so you aren't wondering when you get to eat again! Never quite thought of it that way before this morning!
Here is a direct link to Abundant Health, where you are being offered the special on colonics:
Juice Club Special

Here is what I am present to today.

The ease of my life. I work hard, I have a full schedule, I wear many hats... and I don't resist any of it! It is my lack of resistance that creates my experience of EASE! So, I invite you, if you have any experience of suffering to simply shift your attention and STOP RESISTING.
What does that look like? Well for me, I look for something that inspires me, motivates me, pleases me... without any evidence. For example when we get ready to travel, I usually don't want to go! There is so much that needs to be done to prepare to leave our busy life behind. We are often going to work in some other city or location and I am simply wanting to stay home. So I start thinking about some amazing bakery in either the airport or where we are going that has some unbelievable "roll", with thick crust, organic of course, all warm just from the oven... now you may be asking yourself "What is she talking about?" for me this is just something that I imagine I would love to find, appreciate when I do and enjoy as well. However I have been traveling for years and years and have yet to find it!.... and the idea of it keeps me packing, carrying my bags to the car, going through security, checking out the bakery cases in the airport... just in case... you get the idea? Do I know it is imaginary? YES! does it motivate me anyway? YES!
What motivates you? Once I am on my way and with others, something else takes over, the enthusiasm of others! But until that time the "roll" works just fine!
Do what it takes to keep yourself motivated.
I love you.
Terces

DAY THREE AUGUST!

Good Morning,

Well, much to share today. First of all thank you to all of you who share your experience with me, you make a big difference in my life! I appreciate you.
I was sharing at our manager meeting last night, and asked how many of the managers were on the JUICE CLUB this month and only two people raised their hands. I couldn't help but think about the "drop out" rate. What I want to say is this month is my personal 11th month (even though the CLUB only started in Jan of this year) and I can see a HUGE difference in my life with the "consistency over time" effect of juicing one week a month... so I invite you to "get back on the horse" and keep on going. Even if you fall off a day or so, don't make it mean anything other than the "horse" is waiting! Climb back on top and get going. There are treasure ahead unseen from where you are!
I also want to thank Shaila for her offer of 2 for 1 colonics. Here is her email address so you can take advantage of this offer.
dtoxdayspa@gmail.com or call 415.440.dtox (3869) or schedule online at SpaDtox.com

Here is some info from my Mary Janes Farm newletter on colonics I thought you might enjoy:
"Internal Cleansing
In the summer months, when there is more time to do things for yourself, why not try
something beneficial for your health and cleaning regimen? Internal cleansing, better known
as colonics, is a great way to flush out any harboring toxins and eliminate any decayed fecal
matter from your intestines. In a sense, you are cleaning from the inside out!
It is said that the average human being has between 10 to 40 pounds of fecal matter in their
colon. And claims have been made that leftover fecal matter and toxins can contribute to
many ailments. Our history tells us that the Egyptians believed that toxins from decomposition
moved into other areas of the body, creating illnesses. Others expanded on that idea, and
microbiology seemed to support the autointoxication theory. A popular doctor from the early
1900s, John Harvey Kellogg, founder of the Kellogg cereal company, promoted the idea of
colonics and lectured to other physicians the many benefits colon therapy had on his patients
and their conditions. However, as laxatives grew popular, colon cleansing took a back seat.
We have now approached a more green and holistic era, where people are more assertive in
looking for ways to improve their health and well being. Many people use colon cleansing as
a way to detox and cleanse themselves from the inside out. Advocates of colon hydrotherapy
believe that fecal matter can accumulate and harden in the colon. They believe this buildup
of fecal matter may prevent the absorption of nutrients and lead to constipation. Constipation
then can allow harmful colon bacteria and yeast to grow, causing toxins to be absorbed into
the bloodstream.
I, myself, had never heard of colonics until three years ago. I began to get proactive in
my healthcare and looked into alternative practices."

I highly recommend cleaning yourself inside and out!

Shayla has some wonderful
personal stories of how colonics changed her life and the
lives of others. Some immediate benefits to the cleanses are
increased energy, memory, and digestion. Better bowel
elimination and sleep can also be attributed to colonic
therapy. I realize colonics may not be for everyone, but
I’ve witnessed the benefits firsthand. If it is true that our
bodies are like machines, and machines run better with
regular oil changes, then maybe we, too, should flush “clean”
our systems every 3,000 miles or so.
Affirmation for today; I am worthy of everything WONDERFUL!"

Love you so much,
Terces

AUGUST DAY TWO

2010-08-02T09:51:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

How was day one? I heard from a few of you and am so grateful you are taking the coaching and "being gentle" with yourself. A reminder that this is not intended to be a suffering experience, it is all about health and well being. So, be well, think wellness thoughts, take wellness actions, notice your attitude and keep it on well being. What creates an experience of well being for you?
For me, it is when I am noticing and appreciating who I am, the difference I make. When my attention is there the things I do, the thoughts I have are healthy ones!
Not that the "shadow" of doubt doesn't want to sneak in and take me out, it is simply "catching" it before it has done any damage!
So, what do you appreciate about yourself?
I have added Acai to my juicing this month, I really want to experiment with it and see if I notice a difference.
Also ABUNDANT HEALTH, has generously offered, for those of you in the San Francisco area a TWO FOR ONE colonic special, please contact Shayla at: shaylamihaly@gmail.com if you would like to sign up! I highly recommend colonics as a great support for juicing, and she is such a wonderful soul to be in communication with.
Love you all.
Have a sweet day of JUICING.
Love, Terces
A REMINDER, share on the BLOG today, it will connect you in so many amazing ways to others just like you.

YEAH AUGUST! Day ONE

2010-08-01T10:19:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

Well, so much to share and the day has just begun. Here is what I am noticing and I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR DAY TOO!
While all I have to do is skip that first meal of the first day and JUICE instead... and I notice I clean like I haven't cleaned since last month, I complete things as soon as I notice them, start what I have been stepping over all month, feel feelings I wish I felt the other three weeks of the month... am so IN LOVE, IN THE EXPERIENCE OF LOVE, LOVING MYSELF, MY LIFE, OTHERS... it's CRAZY.. and I tell myself I'll do some other day in the midst of the three weeks and I NEVER DO... WHY I ask myself, BECAUSE I HAVEN"T GIVEN MY WORD TO, like I have this year of one week a month... so If you are falling off the week, or skipping a month here or there, STOP, Just sit down with yourself and RECOMMIT. Write out your commitment, let yourself know you ARE GOING TO DO THIS... no matter what. There is so much POWER in it, promise!
I am happy to be sharing this experience with you all.
Please, share your experience with me, WRITE on this BLOG.... it makes a difference for you, for me, and for everyone who reads this.
Know you are loved, Enjoy your day.
Love your life!
I love you.
Terces

DAY SIX AND SEVEN.... July

2010-07-07T01:12:00.000-07:00

Good Night,

Actually it is after 1am and I am just finishing packing for Mexico. We leave at 4 am for the airport and I am just squishing in the last of the surprises for the children of some of our employees whose families we will visit.
I am writing for today and tomorrow as I will be traveling all day and not able to post.
How are you? I notice that I am at the place where I could just keep on going... and I know that this is when it is time to start easing back into a few solid foods. I do feel good, I did find out that the spots on my lungs are not "going to kill me" as the Doctor said, and when we get back I'll so see a pulmonary specialist. I feel great knowing that I didn't let my thoughts of concern get the best of me! How about you? How is your thinking supporting you?
I had a sprout salad late in the day today as I wanted to add in something green before my travels. It sure tasted good.
I would love to hear from more of you, your sharing is so inspiring and so appreciated.
I am so grateful for you.
Ease out of your JUICING, sprouts and salads or fresh veggies are the best way, and remember to still include plenty of fresh water and juice into your day.
Enjoy the sunshine and celebrate another month of the JUICE CLUB.
I am proud of you.
Love. Terces

DAY FIVE July

2010-07-05T12:06:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

I love it when you share about feeling closer to nature, that is how it is for me too. I feel so full of life, so clear on my feelings, so willing to shift my attention to what I love instead of it running by default into some un empowering story! How about you?
What are you noticing?
We leave for Mexico on Wednesday so I realize I will be breaking my fast while traveling and staying with indigenous people way in the Sierras.... this will be a new experience!
Today I felt a bit nauseous, not really sure what it is, so am adding some avocado to my green juice and having some extra wheatgrass, that will either take me over the edge or heal me!
Keep supporting yourself by doing and being "nice" to yourself. Be kind!
Share with us all, it makes a difference for you and for me.
I love you.
Terces

DAY FOUR Independence Day July 4th

2010-07-04T19:00:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,
Where do you enjoy your freedom? What a great day, hot on the farm but with a nice breeze. We took a break in the heat of the day and got foot reflexology... so wonderful and so healing. Colonic tomorrow! I encourage you all to add to your juicing other ways of empowering your cleanse. Yoga, colonics, swimming, massage.... you choose. It is so good for you and supports your JUICING. You are worthy!
Today I noticed how much I get done. Painted our yurt door and have been thinking about it for over a year....
I can move from one thing to another seamlessly. Love that part.
Like LuckyStar shared once you make up your mind this is what you are doing, the internal battle just dies down. So what else could you choose to give your word to and experience the same commitment?
Keep sharing, I so love hearing from you. Your sharing has my week of JUICING come alive! I appreciate you.
Happy 4th of July for those who celebrate it (USA) for those who don't how can you celebrate your personal freedom?
Love, Terces

DAT THREE July

2010-07-04T07:20:00.000-07:00

WOW I don't know about you but I was minding my mind all day! My doctors office called in the morning to let me know that they didn't have any results yet but not to worry, keep my attention on health and due to the holiday we would talk on Tuesday morning. Well, that really started me off noticing when my thoughts would stray from anything but health and well being... So I am sharing this as it works for us all, keep noticing when you get distracted by anything that would disrupt your personal experience of , love, joy, peace, well being, and then mind your mind and focus your attention, your worship power, on what you are committed to experiencing! That is our true work.
How are you doing, what are you noticing, I would love for more of you to share, your experience matters, no matter what you are experiencing.
I love you, enjoy the freedom we all have to be ourselves today!

love, Terces

DAY TWO July

2010-07-02T21:18:00.001-07:00

Hi There,

I went to the Doctor today to have my lungs checked out, just can't seem to breath as powerfully as I always have and no herbal remedies are working any further than they already have. The xray does show some abnormalities and now I just wait for the report. I make up, there is some infection I just can't clear up. Anyway, I was SO HAPPY I WAS JUICING, cause I drove all the way into the city in 4th of July weekend traffic and since I was juicing he was able to do the blood work! Yeah! Also I noticed on the way home where it took over 3 hours instead of the usual 1, I wasn't impatient, I actually enjoyed the time with my thought, the radio and the warmth of the sun. It wouldn't have been my experience otherwise, I am sure! How about you? What are you noticing in your life? How is JUICING, CLEANSING making a difference? Tonight I was closing up the chickens and Matthew and I were walking around the farm and I shared with him that I "feel comfortable in my own body", that is such a good feeling!
I can so easily find fault with myself and it just isn't what is capturing my attention any longer! The consistency over time, being my word each month and not taking myself too seriously is wonderful.
When I was stuck in traffic today I pulled into a Jamba Juice and ordered Wheatgrass juice and was SO THANKFUL!
Love you all.
Terces

DAY ONE July, Welcome back!

2010-07-01T21:11:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

I am so grateful to be sharing a few moments with you. Do you know that there are over 1000 of us JUICING one week together each month? WOW, How inspiring you are to me.
Today we left early this morning and flew to Los Angeles to meet with the design team for our Los Angeles project, I am so happy I was juicing! I love that I can take on things that might normally feel overwhelming and VOILA, when I am JUICING they are just what I am doing RIGHT NOW!
How are you? What are you noticing. I am noticing that I have so much more balance in my experience of my body. I no longer "beat myself up" with thoughts, words, ideas about my physical body. I love being me! I am enjoying the clarity, and over all health I am experiencing, even though at this time I am having something going on with one of my lungs (having it checked out tomorrow). I feel comfortable in my own skin! That is a miracle for me. How about you?I would love for more of you to share.... what is stopping you?
Welcome back, drink lots of water and don't "diet", JUICING is intended to support your digestive and elimination system and to help you "get rid" of what no longer serves you... so let it go, all of it, the thoughts, actions, beliefs..... instead practice LOVING YOURSELF!
I love you.
Terces

Finishing up....

2010-06-08T23:34:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

No matter where you are or how your week of JUICING went make sure to set aside some time to make list of what you want to be aknowledging about you week. Be sure to go over all the choices you made, the efforts you made. There is always something to acknowledge.
let go of whatever doesn't serve you any longer,open up to what does.
You are loved.
Be gentle.
Love, Terces

Day SEVEN June

2010-06-07T08:45:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

Here we are on the last day of this month.... enjoy the clarity, spend some time with yourself... really see what you are learning, how you are feeling, what insights you are having and follow them. Yesterday I had a salad, I simply couldn't keep my energy up for playing with grandchildren all day... it tasted good and i definitely felt better..... probably it what more my THINKING that I couldn't keep up that was in my way! I love that I didn't make myself wrong and looked forward to the final day of JUICING. How are you all doing? What are you noticing.
I am also present to how hard young mothers work, the caring for young ones all day long... I see why we have our children when we are young!
This morning I started with Green juice and am heading to the city for meetings all day. I am grateful for all of you and for the encouragement we offer each other.
Remember to drink plenty of fresh water and keep your juice intake high, so as not to let yourself get TOO HUNGRY, or feeling weak.
I love you.
I will post tomorrow as well. I love hearing from you, so please share your stories with me.
I love you.
Terces

DAY SIX June

2010-06-06T08:57:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

What are you present to today? Someone asked me yesterday if JUICING for a week brought up any old patterns of eating disorders. My experience in the early months is yes, it did, and it gave me to opportunity to repattern those old patterns. To hear and listen to the old habitual ways of thinking that were destructive, unhealthy and no longer served me and allowed me to make healthier choices and see from a more mature place how those patterns and impacted my life and what was keeping them in place, or did keep them in place and LET GO.
I find myself learning more and more about what drives my food choices, how different foods feel in my body and the impact them have. I get to FIRST HAND see how making choices that heal, nourish and support my mission in life is beneficial and what I am committed to.
How about you. What are you noticing in the last couple days of this week together.
I love you.
Terces

DAY FIVE June

2010-06-05T07:52:00.000-07:00

Good Morning to you all,

The Leadership training is under way and I am present to the power of community. I invite each of you to not only take on your own health, your own clearing, your own life but to also choose someone to be a stand for taking on their health, their clearing their life! Something magical happens.
Today I am still letting go of comparison, letting go of self judgment, the conversations come up and I simply DO NOT ENGAGE, let them float by.... practice saying, thinking, acting out something that empowers you. What do you LOVE about YOURSELF?
Be kind, be gentle, be loving.
You are amazing.
Drink plenty of water, lots of juice, get out in the sunshine for some Vitamin D and let your heart open wide and feel and express LOVE.
You are LOVED>
I love you.
Terces

DAY FOUR June

2010-06-04T07:27:00.000-07:00

HI Everyone,

Well, the weather fits my awakening this morning, It is a dewy, tranquil morning and we are up and getting ready for the Leadership Training today. Yesterday we cleaned out, which felt so good and appropriate too.
Today I notice that I am COMPARING by experience this months to previous months and I know that comparison is always a trap! So I am letting go and simply being with my experience NOW!
I did 15 minutes on the slant board yesterday and had the insight that what there is to do is STOP RESISTING EXPANSION, expansion is happening! That right now it is like being in the first stages of labor, of a birth, there is a feeling of wanting it all to stop and also wanting to get to the other side. SO I SURRENDER and TRUST THE PROCESS today!
WHat are you noticing, how are you feeling, any insights you want to share with us?
Love you.

DAY THREE June

2010-06-03T07:33:00.000-07:00

Good Morning,

WHEW I don't know about you but that was a "tough" start this week. I had a headache, low energy, felt irritated, frustrated, overwhelmed... you name it, and this morning I woke up feeling BRIGHTER! Yeah. I am also dealing with allergies nd the itchy eyes keep me so focused inward, I notice my irritation with the outside has me experience a "smaller" worls, even though I am playing a BIG game. This weekend is our Leadership Training, the first one, and over 40 people are registered. I am thrilled to be taking on another level of training and there are lots of details to be responsible for in preparation. So I am stretching myself.
How are you feeling this morning? What are you present to?
Remember to drink water, lots of it, especially on these warm days. I also notice that I want/need at least 15 minutes of quiet time each day, to center myself, to relax into my life.
Do something good for yourself today, some treat in the realm of SELF care!
I love you.
