Day Four Yipee!

Good Morning,

Couldn't help but notice how the sunshine was lighting up the mountains this morning just beyond our farm, maybe that is the impact of being over half way on the week of JUICING! I can see the light!
I also experienced the daily email as so helpful, keeping ME on track, a great reminder.
This morning breakfast was a little more appealing to me, found the smells from the Chiliquillos tempting, and I reminded myself of how great it feels to take a break and really tune in and clean out! I reached for my hot lemon water and found it so yummy, I added a bit of cayenne pepper to it today and loved it even more.
I also find that today since we are heading to the city for meeting and a night with our managers that I was excited by the prospect of purchasing juice from Cafe Gratitude, where there are more choices than I give myself here. That is insightful too, how come I don't give myself more options on a regular basis. I definitely tend to be happy with what is so, rather than broaden my choices....I can see that I could be more generous with ME.
Yesterday I did 15 minutes on the Rebounder and felt so good.
This morning I connected with my sister in Tennessee an we promised to get together this year, just the two of us! Who could you reconnect with? Someone you would love to be closer to and somehow something always gets in the way? How about committing to some special time with them?
Have a powerful day and be generous with yourSELF!
Love Terces

Day Three

GOOD morning.

Here on the farm the weather man says it will be nearly 60 degrees today... that's warm. Yeah! How is everyone, share when you get a moment, it is so nice to be connected with others and your experience makes a difference for them as well.
Yesterday I had the insight "when you aren't taking care of yourself you can't be taking care of others either".... wow I started thinking about the general condition of health of most people on the planet and it is easy to see why the planet is being used up! I find myself taking such good care of EVERYTHING. Cleaning, clearing away, finishing projects.... and then mySELF. Really managing my experience of ME. I am feeling in the flow today, certainly breakfast is easier. I love the hot water with lemon and today I had some fresh squeezed grapefruit juice with a pinch of himalayan salt, so yummy. I also like it blended with sprouts for some real green power.
Sometimes I experience it is difficult for me to "get off the farm" and into town for whatever errands there are to run, and now it seem easier to move between all my tasks effortlessly. I am appreciating that today... as our New York Times comes on Sunday and some weeks we don't collect it until Monday and it is only at the end of our road.
How about adding a bike ride today or 15 minutes on a rebounder? Something that aids in the lymphatic system cleaning itself out too? Drink plenty of water and enjoy your Sunday.
Thanks again for who you are.
Love, Terces

Day Two

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?

Love, Terces

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.
