Hi Everyone,
I don't know about you but I woke up filled with dreams, some meaningful others just enjoyable.... realizing how much I seem to recall my dreams when I am juicing. Also noticed while sitting around the campfire this morning that it is nice to have my hands busy while breakfast is happening... so I cracked lots of walnuts. Feels good to to see all those amazing nuts coming out for future use.... yesterday I dehydrated lots of thin slices of persimmons and they also look amazing. Am going to finish those today.
I am enjoying the feeling in my body of just being more IN my body. Also the clarity in my mind and the lessening of on going chatter! A peaceful mind is a great thing!
How are you. Use this blog to share, get support, or simply to connect with others who are also committed to taking on their health and well being as part of this year.
Love you all. Have a sweet day. Be kind to yourself.
Love, Terces

Juice Club
Day One....
I don't know about you but there is something so simple about waking up and knowing that today is a JUICE DAY, the clarity and simplicity shows up right away. Maybe it is that there are less choices to make right from the get go, I don't know. But I can feel the energy that is released by not having solid food to digest, by not wondering what I am going to eat (even though I prepare three meals a day for the farm crew!)
I love JUICING DAYS, in fact I probably struggle more on days when I am eating. Today I noticed my thoughts saying Yeah, it is JUICING WEEK ( I have been doing this since September)... and noticing how long the other three weeks of the month feel. I also noticed that with the holidays there is so much focus on food that it feels freeing to be JUICING starting today!
I also want to thank you all for sharing this experience with me and look forward to your sharing as well.
Happy New Year.
Love Terces

Letting go of the old and.....
...Welcoming in the NEW.
I don't know about you but I always appreciate a fresh start. Doesn't matter what the situation is I am simply inspired by the idea that I can learn from the past and create a new more empowering future, no matter what.
So, what are you letting go of as 2009 comes to an end? My husband and I always take the time to list what our accomplishments of the year that is ending were, what were the top stories, what were our big lessons? Then we create what we see as being the Headlines for the coming year, like the front page of a paper. It is great fun, we laugh, we cry, we so enjoy the opportunity.
I invite you to try it.
When we create the Headlines for the coming year we are actually creating a context, a topic for the year that will help support our commitments and passions.
Thank you for a great year, Happy New Year!
Love, Terces

Living by Faith
I was thinking the other day how often I find myself living by evidence, even when I realize it I can't always intervene in my evidence way of life. Yet, I know, deep down inside myself that life lived by faith is what really calls to me. I have actually had lots of experiences in my life where I made choices and stepped out of my comfort zone living completely by faith and ALWAYS the outcome was MIRACULOUS. Yet still, here I am looking for evidence anyway.
What it takes for me to live by faith is simply trusting, keeping my attention on the perfection of everything and letting go of any and all expectations I might have.
One of the ways I interrupt my search for evidence is shifting my attention to all I have to be grateful for. I am always amazed at how quickly I return to the present moment and once again begin to notice who beautifully and perfectly I am provided for. I often find myself wondering .... what more evidence do I need?

Trust and Surrender
December is here, we even have snow on the ground at the farm, not a normal occurrence. A couple of our farm family members have NEVER seen snow, certainly gets me present to the beauty of it. Amazing how I can fall asleep to the miracles all around me. Great to have a wake up call!
We are deep in the process of "birthing" Gracias Madre, what an exercise in trust and surrender I find ourselves in. While the process has required more money and more time than we could have imagined, and while I know it will be a beautiful expression of our celebration of the unconditional love that mothering is, I am challenged daily to let go and trust.
Where are you holding on? Where are you pushing for an outcome and not trusting the process you are in?
Great questions especially when I am so committed that we be our word with all the vendors, new employees and all those involved throughout our company, and yet, I can do and say all there is to do and say, I can support and encourage and ultimately what there is to do is trust and let go, knowing that this too is in God's hands, that this too is a perfect expression of the Divine.
Where can you let go today and invite yourself to trust more fully and surrender more deeply?
I love you.

Giving Thanks
This is it, the week of Thanksgiving.
So instead of the usual grocery shopping (purchasing more than normal), how about coming by any of our Cafe Gratitude Cafe and letting us serve you a Thanksgiving meal (free of charge) and then how about you serving someone else?
In every Cafe (except the one inside of Whole Foods in Oakland) we serve a free meal to anyone who joins us from 11am - 3pm and everyone donates their time. This is my favorite day, favorite celebration, it is such a heartwarming, heart opening celebration of giving Thanks. Everyone shares what they are grateful for and the long community tables are filled with people from everywhere. The servers and bartenders and kitchen folks are all volunteering their time, they are serving simply because they want to give.
Come on by, eat, serve, remember the real source of gratitude is giving to others, others before self!
It is a day you will remember, promise.
We would love to serve you!
Happy Thanksgiving.
What are you grateful for?

Surprise and delight
Wow here it is, the season to give. What if it is always the season to give?
What I mean by that is notice how you feel when you do something kind, thoughtful, generous for someone else? Feels pretty good, huh? Well consider that whenever you feel stuck, stopped, worried, anxious, selfish, separate.... you get the idea? .... you gave.
That is how our I Am Grateful Bowl came into existence. We were experiencing a slow down in business, a block in the flow... so we said, "How can we give more?" and the idea of a bowl of delicious organic food paid by donation, based on what someone could afford to give, or someone might choose to purchase for someone else in advance, came into existence.
So look and see, where can you give today, who can you surprise and delight? This is such a great exercise to take on, in all seasons, each and every day.
