• Fruit’s good! The tortilla soup sounds like a great compromise. I may have mentioned this before – but my non-raw husband could care less about variety, if I find things he likes he’ll eat it every day happily.

• Hey angie! I was thinking of you and your dad this morning and I wanted to recommend the recipe for Brazilian Grawnola Breakfast. I don’t know how nuts and dried fruits work for him, but I made it this morning and it was so quick and easy, and I wou…

• Angie! That’s all so great! It seems like a puzzle and the pieces are all falling into place. Just two things – as far as making multiple meals, I felt this way when I was going through Phase 1, 3 different meals, 3 times a day for the humans, and t…

• Hey agamur, I wish I had known about this lifestyle when I was breastfeeding. I would be really careful doing any kind of cleanse while you’re breastfeeding, even Dr. Gabriel Cousens Phase 1 (Rainbow Green Live Food). My scientist friends have expla…

• Hi savannasmommy – my daughter eats mostly raw meals with me and she’s doing great. I’m very conscious of her omega 3 intake, I add chia or hemp seeds to her smoothies and hemp oil whenever I can, and I do give her a B 12 supplement for children as …

• I think it’s related to the lymphatic system and it’s more of a detox cleansing thing, than a deficiency. I don’t actually know that for a fact, but it happens to me whenever I increase my fiber or add a cleansing herb. I guess your lymphatic system…

• This week I found a great book – Buddhism for Mothers of Young Children: Becoming a Mindful Parent by Sarah Napthali. There are so many parallels with A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, but it speaks specifically to mothers and the realities of parenthoo…

• Thanks kundalalita! Sounds amazing. Funny, I have The Prophet and it’s one of those things I’ve never gotten around to. I’m rereading A New Earth and I know what you mean about trying to absorb it. Now I’m skipping around the the parts that seem the…

• skystrdust – what’s the name of the book? pianissima – I read A New Earth but haven’t read The Power of Now, although I just sent it to a friend in crisis. Have you read both, and if so, is it worth reading The Power of Now too? Thanks!
